June 6-12

Finally, a full week of no ear infections, fevers, or antibiotics. Really makes things go a little better. And, we are getting into the routine of 3 days of day care and 2 days of "Mimi" care. Aubrey has really started to enjoy spending time with my mom during the week and on her days back to school, she is not to sure what to think. I'm 100% enjoying my mom being here and almost wish we could do more days. Its so nice to not have to get Aubrey ready for school, drive out of my way to get there, and then leave a screaming toddler behind. Plus, Mom has cooked for us a couple of times and nobody can argue with coming home to a fresh cooked meal after a long day at work. But, Aubrey still needs to interact with kids her own age so we'll keep her at school 3 days a week for the time being.

This weekend was a nice weekend. We finally got ourselves in gear to finish buying all the supplies to finish our bathroom. It is the next to last room in the house to finish and I am so tired of looking at the white walls. We finally bought the new mirrors and ordered the new light fixtures to go throughout the house to replace the cheap builder's lights. We've got the paint color picked out for the bathroom, but we are going to wait until Todd finishes his class for the summer before we actually tackle any work in the room. After we finish the bathroom, we'll start clearing the junk out of the guest room and storing it above our bathroom. So my New Year's resolution to have the guest room clear by June won't happen, but it will happen in the next few months and that makes me happy. Todd also bought a new grill this weekend so we had to break it in with some yummy steaks Saturday evening. Sunday, we hung around the house and enjoyed not having anywhere to go. We stayed busy with chores, but at least Aubrey got to play and the dogs got to see something other than the inside of their crates.
