Some Work and Some Play
We had a busy weekend. We've been working on finishing the basement. I'd say working hard, but sometimes we go for long stretches without doing anything! But this weekend we did work hard! :)
We had someone come in and help David build the cabinet to cover up the water shut off to the house - clever, huh?! There is also a column to cover the pipes running up. They also put up the casing around the doors and the trim... the little work that didn't get finished with him we have finished up on our own. We have a little more work to do tonight, and then tomorrrow we are starting the painting. We are hoping to have that done by the end of the weekend so we can have our carpet installed early next week. Things are certainly coming together quickly! Here are some recent pictures of what we've done. It's starting to look like a room, and I am getting really excited about using it!
This weekend was Fesitval of the Arts in downtown GR. We always like to go - mostly to try out all the different kinds of foods! But they have music and dancing, and tons of fun things for kids. This year Kayla was too young to enjoy any of the activites, but she had fun crawling up to the story-teller (we sometimes called her "tri-pod" because she 1/2 crawls and 1/2 walks... and this is a picture of her doing that!)! In the years to come, she'll enjoy watching the dancing, doing artwork and listening to storytime and things of that sort! But we had a good time, despite the extremely hot weather!
Weekends always go by too quickly!
