Day 273 ~ New Kitchen Table

So I got sick of the high chair in my kitchen this weekend, and decided to use the feeding seat.  Turns out my table really doesn't accomodate 5 chairs.  Hello kijiji...got this table today.

Day 267 ~ Refrigerator

Our new fridge has arrived.  Love it...it's bigger than the one we have, and we now have ice and water dispensers in the door.  Awesome!

Day 248 ~ Closet

I cleaned out my closet today - this could not have been done without my sister's HUGE help.  We took everything out - filled four garbage bags to give away, and one bag of garbage.  Now there's room for the clothes I bought last week, and I found dress clothes that I had bought before getting pregnant, which I completely forgot about.

Day 237 ~ Defrosting

This is long overdue.

Day 197 ~ Backyard!

We've lived here for seven years, and up until three days ago, our backyard looked exactly like when we moved in.  The landscapers were in this week, and we now have a new patio, flower beds, and four new trees.  We're ready for a party!

Day 158 ~ Gardening

This is what we did today - while Sean cut the lawn, I tackled the flower bed...weeds, dirt, flowers, mulch.  Then we spread dirt on our front and sid yard, and grass seed.  Whew!

Day 85 - Living Room

Well the only picture I took today was of our living room, because we went shopping for new furniture and I wanted to send our current configuration to the sales lady who was helping us with our choices.  So here is our living room as it looks right now.  Stay tuned...in about 6-8 weeks, it will undergo a transformation.  Although the wine colour scheme is staying - we bought the new drapes and throw pillows when we "stole" the blue & brown stuff for our family room.

Day 50 ~ Finished Backsplash

It is done, and we put the kitchen together again.  Here are before and after shots:

Day 45 ~ Grout

We started to grout our backsplash today...what an annoying job - especially when you leave the grout to dry too long, and then try to take it off the tiles.  There's still a section to do - not looking forward to that.

Day 35 ~ Books, books, books

When I'm in Moncton, I take the opportunity to buy french books, since they are more difficult to find in the GTA.  A few dictionnaries were added to my collection today, and some books for the kids.  I might go to Chapters before I leave.

And a playdate with our little cousin, who is 13 months old.
