Primer went up!

Everett has been working really hard on our house!  Yesterday he finished mudding, sanded the mud, and the walls that we didn't tear down and primed the ceiling and walls!  Wooot! 

I have no photos, but I was so excited I just needed to share the news!!  We will hopefully be putting colour on the walls on Monday :D

Update on the wood floors

Everett worked really hard yesterday, with my brother and dad and they got tons accomplished and I can't wait to actually see it in person.  Ev sent me these pics, so I thought I'd give you all an update!

When you're looking at these pictures, if the wood looks like incredibly different colours, it's because some is super dirty with drywall dust and plaster dust and some is clean (because it was being protected by ugly lino during demo.)

Originally the floor looked like this, remember (carpet, linoleum and finally wood)

 

 

Then here's the during picture, looking great: 

(by the door if you look close you can see that it's not quite finished)

 

And.......NOW...finished :D

 

 

In the corner, there used to be a bit vent covering, but apparently it was useless or something, so they covered it up. (which I am sad about, because I loved that corner vent cover, but I'm told to just put it on the wall or something...)   Anywho, so they needed to replace the surrounding boards and cover the place where the vent was.

So here you can see the white, that's the filled in part, and surrounding if you look close needs boards too

And after, all filled in!

 

Woot woot, progress!  :D  I've got such hard working men in my life!  Thanks guys!

Flowery girls

We are being non-traditional and having 2 flower girls and no ring bearers.  I have 2 very special cute girls in my life, C who is 7 years old (we've been good buddies for about 5 years) and A is 2.5 years old (we've been buddies since she was 3 months old).  Both of the girls know each other really well, and it's been fun to plan and talk wedding stuff with them.  Actually the other day A was asking her mom where her husband was, because she had a pretty dress (her flower girl dress) and so now she just needed to know where her husband was!  TOO CUTE!  I'll have to share more stories yet about these two girls!

So anyways....since our wedding is during winter, and we live where it's COLD, I thought I would try to find some cute sweaters for the girls to wear over their adorable flower girl dresses.  Sunday afternoon after church I searched and searched!  What I had in mind was a shorter (shrug) style, long sleeves, white or dark purple, and pretty!  This is what I found.

First one at Old Navy (seen below, except in white) unfortunately they only had size 0-24 months.  It is longer then I wanted, but still cute, so I did buy one for A, in case I couldn't find 2 of the same design in sizes for both girls.

Then at The Children's Place I found these adorable crocheted shrugs! 

Perfect length, since it looks dressier, and suits their dresses more, with long sleeves, in white, and better yet, crocheted!  They couldn't be better! So then the search for the right sizes was on, the 7/8 which is what C usually wears looked too big, so I bought the 5/6 for her as well, and the smallest they had was a 3/4, so I bought it, hoping that it wouldn't be huge on C.  The 5/6 fit C better then the 7/8 so I was happy I bought both (I will return the 7/8) and the 3/4 fits A!  HOOORAY!!!  And, they both like them to boot!  :D

I can't wait to post some pics of the girls all dressed up!  hehe!
