A few more pictures...

We kept the glass display cabinet. I have new hinges and matching pulls that Sean is going to put on. Soon I hope(:

The desk/ phone area. Crystal can do her homework at the desk while I'm busy in the kitchen.

The peninsula/eating bar matches nicely with the dinning room.

This is the main entrance to my kitchen.

Before & After Sneek Peak

We still have a bunch of work to do before I can post some good pictures. The tile by the stove needs put back up. I still have clutter on the countertops. I'm hoping by the end of the weekend that it is all neat and clean. Then I will take some more pictures(:

The Tear Down

The First Day of School

Here's Mike, going to Grade 10

Here's Kels, going to grade 12

Here's Crystal, going to grade 2

OK, so today is actually the second day of school. We missed the first day because we were on holidays and did not know that Tuesday that was supposed to be "Curriculum Implementation Day" was cancelled because of the job action. So, my kids played hooky yesterday. By the time the elementary school called, it was too late to send them. Oops!

The Island is gone

Now we know what was underneath the island and how big our cabinet will need to be because there is no way I want to re-do our floors. Well, at least not yet anyways!

Cute Swan Pool Toy(:

I am so fed up with STUPID drivers

Last night I took Kelsey out for a driving lesson after supper. We appoached a playground zone and my daughter slowed down to just under 30 km/hr. All of a sudden there is a silver mini-van tail gating us. Before I even had time to tell Kels to just pull over and let him by, a White Toyota Pyrus passes both the mini-van and my car. I had time to write down the liscence plate number of the white car. This person driving the Pyrus is a professional Driver. (I am not mentioning the company name, but if you live in this city, you know what company I am talking about) My first thought is what an idiot he is and it made me mad that a professional driver would drive like that. Next thing I know the silver mini-van is passing us. What the heck? I could see the N on the back but he was driving too fast to catch the liscence plate #. The lady walking on the sidewalk stood there with a shocked look on her face. She couldn't believe what just happened either. Shame on both drivers. There is a Reason for playground zones and I wish people would respect the speed limits posted. I hope they get caught before something terrible happens. I am finding that since I've been teaching my daughter to drive, I notice more and more idiots on our roads. The 2 minites they saved speeding could have cost someone their life. I am very discusted and have made a complaint to the RCMP.
