kitchen update

Four days later, the kitchen may not look much different, but trust us, a lot of work has been done! We've got a new plywood floor base installed and lots of patched up holes, but the big task was the electrical stuff. Daddy spent a good portion of the weekend trying to unravel the mysteries of our house's wiring, including finally deciphering the mystery switches that seemed to do nothing. He also added outlets for accent lights on top of the cabinets, put our dining room light on a dimmer. And he only got shocked once?!?!

Next up? Painting and some plumbing this evening.



And in non-project news...

Natalie is beyond excited to go to the library again. Specifically she wants to play "puter", i.e. hear a TumbleBook on the computer there. Mommy really disappointed her last night by begging off due to the rain. When she started asking (begging) again this morning, Mommy told her if she wanted to go she'd better get her books ready. She started bringing each book on her night stand out one by one and inquiring if it was "keep?" or "brary?". She must have figured it out after the first couple, because the next thing we saw she had all her library books on the table and not a single one of our keepers. What a smarty! Guess we'll defintely have to hit the 'brary tonight!
