It's called "Special Events"

You may remember this time from last year when we did the National Parks. This year we are celebrating and learning about India. I'm missing final day because of a doctors appointment but I'll still share the pictures with you. When I get pics of the kids dressed up I'll share those too! Keep in mind the pictures don't begin to do it justice.

Here is what the front hallway looks like.


And now for close up shots...the elephants.

Tons of Progress

It is amazing what can happen in a week! This week they installed the granite, the marble, the plumbing fixtures, painted the dining room and bedroom, finished painting upstairs, and added the front door. Wow! We are expecting to move on March 8th. Hopefully that doesn't change.

This week they are supposed to install the carpet and hardwoods, install the lighting, install the doggie door, install sod and do a few other minor things (like a mantel over the fireplace). After that it is all touch up work, cleaning and landscaping (which we are doing ourselves later). Yeah for an almost finished project. What will I blog about then???

Here is the dining room.

Here is the sink in the half bath.

Here is the wall in the master bedroom.

Here is the tub in the master bath. I'm super excited it is not white and will not show dirt as badly!

Here are the kitchen cabinets, the backsplash, and the granite. It looks awesome!!


Here is the banister for the stairs to the media room. We are pleased with how it turned out. Kudos to our builder for picking it.

Here is the guest bath. You can see the fixtures we've used in the house.

Here is the bar area upstairs.

And finally the front door!

The best....

I have the best husband EVER!!! Check out what he sent me this week just because he loves me and wanted to brighten my day.


This is what was accomplished on the house this week. We have a sidewalk and stained cabinets!! No more tip-toeing through the mud to get in. Wahoo!!! Hopefully they will install the granite and other countertops this week. I'll let you know soon.
