let the remodel begin!

have i ever mentioned our lovely bathroom upstairs before? how there are about 10 different shades of blue in the room? how dated it is? you dont remember? here let me show you....

so we have always known that we would want to remodel this sucker. something a little bit more updated. something with a lot less blue. so after lots of saving. and even more planning and researching on the hubs part the time has come to start. and with such a big demo/remodel project in general we have sorta kicked claire out for the time being. time at daycare and lots of time with grandma deb, auntie kenzie, uncle kyle and cousin si have really helped out too.

heres some pics after the demo day.

day 2: the hubs is busy working on installing a new window, changing the plumbing, removing the toilet and starting on some drywall. heres to hoping the next week or so remain free from injuries and free from too many unplanned discoveries!

other bday weekend fun

for claires birthday weekend we had some family and friends come up to help celebrate. we always love spending time with these guys and (of course) the fime always seems to go by too quickly.

we enjoyed lots of different things, and unfortunately i dont have a ton of pictures of everything we did. we went to the sculpture garden. lunch at psycho suzies. shopping & cupcakes at mall of america. grilled out. played jenga. and pass the pigs. and that was all on friday.

saturday was claires party so we prepped with that, partied and then napped. ha. we are definitely getting old. and then we had a girls night. typically the guys always get a guys night and then say "next time you girls will have a girls night" and when next time comes, guys get another night. so we hit up the boys 2 men, 98 degrees & new kids on the block concert. i wont go into details but man oh man...the hard core fans are a whole nother world. just saying.

and of course the kids got to play together. its always so much fun to see them play together and give each other hugs and kisses. i love seeing how each one has grown since the last time we saw them!
