Are we finished yet?

It's been a busy week and now I'm working a ton, but I've left everyone in suspense about the bathroom, so I better fill you in. Well, my family is gone. So, does that mean the bathroom is finished? Um, no, not really. Thankfully all the big stuff is done, which leaves us all the little things. Let me fill you in with our progress.

How many college educated men does it take to install a toilet?
Answer: Three (although my husband pointed out he never took a toilet installation course)

Let the fun begin! Lots and lots of tile work lasting hours.

After tiling it, we (I mean my dad) grouted everything

After taking the light down above the mirror we found only loose wires (no junction box). Looks like our electrician is going to get more money/

Our list to complete after my family leaves

See that list! That's all we have to do *sigh*. My brother gave us a deadline of 1 1/2 weeks. It's a little difficult with working and the two kids, but we will do our best.

Here are her two little teeth. I guess what ever I felt on top was nothing because I don't feel it anymore and she is a happy girl

No caption needed....oh wait.

So, I guess the biggest question is, how does the shower work (well, maybe it's not the biggest question, but it is the one I'm going to answer)? I went for a run some evening and after the kids went to bed, I wanted to take a shower. The sun had set so the bathroom was pretty dim (because the light over the mirror had not been fixed yet). That's okay, it just sets off a nice, relaxing mood, right? I stepped into the shower and immediately reached for the handicapped bar that wasn't there. Hmm, I guess I used it more than I thought. After I was in the shower, the shower curtain fell! I tried to get it back up myself, but it just wasn't working, so I had to quietly yell for Aaron. He heard right away. It must have been a funny sight, seeing a drenched wife, holding up a shower curtain in a dim room.  He fixed it up and the rest of my shower was uneventful. Now that our lighting issue has been fixed the the curtain is secure, I have had much more successful showers and I can say that I love all the tile work. It makes me feel like I am at a hotel.

Ah, a hotel, that makes me dream of a vacation. One year ago Aaron and I took an anniversary trip up to Grand Marais, MN. Ah, it was so peaceful, relaxing and good. Maybe one day I could get a cabin up there. Well, THAT's only a dream, but a good one.
