Our Kitchen Adventure :)



Hi Hi. Well, posting might be a bit lacking in the next few weeks just cuz life is going to be crazy! :) This past Saturday, we gutted our kitchen and began a big remodel! So exciting!!! I seriously love remodeling, seeing how the process works and then the end result. We are knocking down a wall to make more room for our kitchen table as it sat in a walk way before. So...we'll see how it goes! We're completely moved in to our basement and it feels like we're on a camping trip or something - living out of boxes, paper products, etc. I'm getting kind of excited to try out new grilling recipes and crock pot recipes. I had some freezer meals stocked up but we won't be able to use our oven much longer so I better use one up tonight! The girls are having fun 'watching' the worker guys go to town on our kitchen. They would probably sit there for hours and watch if it weren't dangerous. They're making friends fast though with all of the guys. One of the workers even said he has 3 little tool belts for the girls so that should be fun. :) I just don't want the girls to watch them bash the wall in with a hammer because you KNOW they'd start to try that on their own. :) Oh dear.
So, so far, it's been going okay! We've been staying out of the house for the most part and otherwise hanging out in the basement. This whole process would be a lot easier if the girls weren't potty training and IF we had a bathroom in our basement. But oh well, it'll be an adventure! Guess Ry and I like to keep life exciting! :)
They said it could take about 6 weeks or so....here goes nothing!

All eyes on the 'guys' :)

Our make shift kitchen in the basement. Gotta love it!
Playing outside! It's funny how we actually get EXCITED here in Wisconsin when it's above 30 degrees. It feels WARM so we can actually go play outside! The girls love it! I can't WAIT for spring!

Wow, Shelly! A kitchen remodel is SO exciting!! I WISH we could do one! If we were healthy, I'd invite you over for a play date to get out of the house! I'll let you know when we're back to normal and you guys can come hang out :)
