Update on the reno's

We have a pantry now. There is still lots to do in the kitchen. The pantry needs painted, counter tops need replaced, walls need painting. It's coming along nicely. Next stop is the living room. We don't have to do much in there other than paint and put up new moldings to match the rest of the house. We weren't going to start on the living room right away, but we ended up buying new furniture on the weekend, so we need to get it looking nice before the furniture arrives. That gives us about 4 weeks.

My daughter entered one of her poems in a contest (on line) and has made it to the finals. They mailed us to tell us that her poem would be published in a book of poetry, but I am not sure of the date this will happen. I will have to buy a bunch of copies to give out to family and friends. She is a very talented girl. I am very proud of her.

The before and After of my Bathroom floor

What a difference it makes when you update the floor. My hubby picked the color and it looks great because our bathroom is blue and yellow. What do you think?

He's a hard workin little man

This is my son helping my hubby last weekend at work. We bought all the supplies for the kitchen and my son was a big help. He looks like he could be a future Windsor employee. Too cute!

Pantry Door Picture

Here is the Pantry door and here is what we are wanting to hide...all the food on the open shelves...looks kind of tacky. That's why we are building a proper pantry.

No I wasn't on Vacation. I wish.

OOPPS!!! It has been an entire week since I last posted??? Where does all the time go. At work we are in are year end mode, so that has been my focus. There is not much new going on. My daughter is in PG at a Pathfinders Camp. I am sure they are having a great time. I don't know how she will survive 3 days with out her computer or i-pod. (She was not allowed to take them to camp, otherwise the kids all ignore eachother listening to their music etc.)
So the reno's are going slowly. My hubby still has 4 cupboards to put back up. I think on Sunday we will work a bit on making the pantry. The new pantry door is just leaned up against the wall and I am afraid it will fall over and break. Note:There is etched glass on the door that says pantry. Funny, like we didn't know it was the pantry. I guess it is there for the looks. It sure does look nice and I cannot wait to get it up. My hubby is working on his day off this week, so that will slow things down, but we will have an entire weekend off to be able to go visit our friends in Kamloops sometime in March. Yipeee!!!
We are putting in new flooring this weekend in the bathroom. I will post some before and after pictures. We are almost done the bathroom reno's. We just need to paint the bathtub white because avocado green just doesn't fit into our color scheme.
I hope everone has a great weekend!!!

The Great Magnetic Boat Race

I was so proud of my son today. He did a very good job on his science project display. His experiment is called The Great Magnetic Boat Race. It sure took a long time to write out all the information and he was frustrated at times, but it is done and he has time to spare. I think he will do well with his model and showing how it works. This assignment had to 100% done by the student.

Tim Wade Youth for Christ WL

I am not sure if everyone knows that Tim Wade from Youth for Christ was diagnosed last August with cancer. He has a tumour in his spinal column. Despite chemo and radiation teatments last fall, the tumour has grown and his body is shutting down. He is now in a wheelchair. We are all praying for a miracle for him. There will be a community prayer meeting for Tim on February 22nd at 7pm at Calvary Church. Tim invites all who are interested to visit his blog and share his journey of peace, hope and faith.
