Unfortunately, however, we are now in the midst of our first major repair project in our little house. Our bathroom is currently destroyed, as contractors are cutting out drywall, replacing tile, and putting it all back together again for us. This project grew out of a problematic leak that damaged the drywall behind the shnazzy green plastic tile (installed by the previous owners) in our shower. As we pondered fixing this problem, we decided that it would be best to go ahead and remove all of the shnazzy green plastic tile that covered the *entire* bathroom. And so, a pretty major project was born.
Losing the use of the primary bathroom in the house (if even for a few days) is not terribly fun. Especially during the potty training days. And, especially because Miss is terrified of every bump, thump, and drilling noise that escapes the work site. Our hardworking contractors promise that the job will be done soon -- perhaps tomorrow. That would be a wonderful, wonderful thing.
In the meanwhile, I had a lovely afternoon with the littles in our backyard. They experienced the thrill of running in a sprinkler on a hot summer day for the first time. And so, even in the midst of stinkin' home repair trouble, I had reason to be grateful for our house. And for sprinklers.

This is so funny! I, Grandma Peanut, was a chaperone, of sorts, to dozens of first graders today during the annual "Sprinkler Day", and so this little piece cheers me, and makes me feel closer to little Miss and to little Master. Also, I am glad that the bathroom project is nearing completion!
So, I want to see before and after pictures. I am curious to see the shnazzy green tile, and the updated result. We will probaby go through some of those fun changes as we are now homeowners, too. But, for now we have boring project like caulking and reshingling the roof. :(
