Hallway redo

I spend a few days over winterbreak making over our little hallway. Of course I committed a major home makeover faux pas by not having before pictures...so here are the (almost) afters.  For the before just picture ugly dark rose colored walls, brown rubber baseboard, brass hinges and doorknobs, and 1970s original brown slab doors. The laundry door still needs another coat of primer and 2 coats of white paint. The wall color is "barely beige". It's a little lighter in real life. It's really hard to get a good shot of this hallyway.

Jagee's Bday and the annual Family Huddle Awards Ceremony

After spending Christmas in a snow free Minnesota I took the kids for a weekend in VA. We helped Jagee celebrate his 74th (74!) birthday and his Fantasy Football win (#2 for soilmen).

Haircut from the expert

Alice has fallen in love with taking baths since we introduced her to them about 3 months ago. Around the time she was 16 months she started pooping in the bathtub every.single.night. Lucius would wear his goggles in order to look for poo underwater. It was a very dangerous and often dirty  job. Hence the end of bathtime and hello to shower time for the next year. Fast forward  and Alice is now potty trained. So...we were able to successfully re-introduce her to baths and she loves them! This is a picture of her taking a bath in Sitty's deep tub for the first time. She was thrilled.

Three cheers for kid's wine! Hip hip hooray!!! Lucius quickly earned the nicname Chug after this.
