Holdin' Down the Fort: Kitchen Floor

Kitchen Floor

This morning at 9am our cabinets were delivered. Primer and ceiling paint were applied, and Mark Bowen, Brent Wagstaff, Jeremy Peterson and Bret laid the floor. I am really happy with the way things are looking; it was really hard to pick colors and textures independent of the cabinets. I like the red wall, Bret does not. I also made a deposit on granite countertops; we are scheduled for a measure on Monday.

Kurt won his first basketball game of the season tonight. It was fun and refreshing to see the team do well (it has been a tough 2 years of middle-school basketball). Promising outlook for the season! Jillian got to cheer. It is nice to have the kids doing school activities together.

I'm not sure how much we'll accomplish tomorrow. Kurt has a ball game in Nampa tomorrow; we'll attend that and probably shop for more supplies.

Anonymous said...: I love the green in the laundry room and the red (wherever that is) and I think all the pictures of Lizzie are adorable. We have pictures of Taylor when she was about 6 or 7 hauling out 5-gallon buckets of drywall when we knocked the wall out in our storage room. She still remembers doing it and that she was a part of it. So, so excited for you and I know it will be fantabulous because everything you do is amazing!; January 22, 2009 at 7:27 AM
attack of The Mouse said...: I am sooooo excited that you are getting a new kitchen. It will be so nice when things are all done. I am terrible at picking colors and counters, floors and all that, I just have no vision. So far it looks like you are doing great. :); January 22, 2009 at 9:01 AM

View From the Hill

How do we reduce the pressure and enjoy our families more? "...recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction. Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said "The biggest mistake I made {as a parent} is the one that most of us make...I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of {my three children} sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less" (from "Daughters of God", Ballard April 2008; click on image for complete article)
