Plugging Right Along

After our been visit by the snow fairy on Monday I was glad to see the sun today. Yay!

Sunday was spent discussing our basement electrical with a neighbor that just finished his own basement. It was nice to hear about some 'woulda', coulda', or shoulda's' from someone who just went through it. We figured out on paper our placement for our recessed lights and we figured out what we need to shop for.
We had to stop since Duner had to go to BJ's to work and I had to take Reece to soccer practice. He was supposed to have his first game on Monday, but thanks to the snow it ended up getting canceled.
I was glad to hear that since it was so chilly on Monday. Its hard to watch when your freezing.

Monday, while the kids were at school, we shopped for faucets, vanity's, cabinets, drywall, doors, and a bathroom vent.
We didn't buy anything yet, but we were just trying to figure out what we were going to buy and where. We found out that 2 of the 3 stores actually deliver the drywall AND (the best part) THEY DRAG IT INTO THE BASEMENT FOR US!!! Yaaa HOOO! We found out there is 2 different types of drywall. (??) Depending on the type of finish you are applying. We then had to call a painter/ plasterer that we know and ask if he would be available to help us and what kind we would need. (Thanks to getting out rebate check today, we can MAYBE have someone do the plaster finish for us)
Today we managed to wire most of the outlets and mark where all of the lighting will be for later in the week.

Zeb is becoming quite the character. He went to the dentist today for another filling and he kept having the Dentist count down then he would say "No, wait a second!" and "Not yet, lets count again to 4". I promised him a trip to family video if he did well. The dentist said he had to give him extra Novocaine but in the end just had to do it. The Dentist was very kind especially considering it was the end of the day and Zeb didn't want to be there. That has got to be the worst part of his job. It is so hard to talk to kids especially when they are five years old.

Reece wanted to iron tonight so I let him iron a curtain that I had washed. He did REALLY well but almost TOO WELL. I was getting worried he was going to start a fire. He kept laying the iron flat and leaving it on. He is so sensitive, it is hard to tell him to stop without him taking offense, but I just had to take over. He didn't like that at all and I had to do some damage control in the feelings department.

Brock managed to put his glasses on the floor AND step on them, all by himself! Now that is talent. Thankfully the wire that held the glass in place pulled out and they were able to fix it for "free". Brock LOVED that I didn't have to pay for it, but I had to remind him that it was not something that we needed to be doing every week. So much for him learning his lesson.
