About 2054 Miles

In February 2007, my husband and I packed up all our belongings, drove 2054 miles and moved from California to Iowa. This blog is about my and my husband's adventures, which mainly now feature our two boys- 5 year old Rex and 3 year old Wyatt.

Bathroom Update

Rob's been hard at work on the bathroom lately, putting in the new tile floor and tiling some of the walls too.

He is planning on grouting all the wall tiles tonight and then the tiling will all be done- woohoo!

It looks fantastic already.  He has done such a great job.  I have been teasing him though about the new condition he has developed- I call it "Tiling Tourette's".  He will be in there working away on his tiles and all of a sudden I'll hear a string of bad words come flying out of his mouth.  Luckily, since it is associated with tiling and he is almost done with that, he will be cured soon.  I think we will be able to get the toilet and sink in this weekend.  After that, we can take down the open wire shelves and start painting in there and be done!  I keep waiting for something to go wrong so this project will take longer because it is going too fast (for one of our projects).  I guess this whole thing though is the project gone wrong because originally, the project was only to replace a toilet.  Now we've done brand new tile on the floor and walls, have a new toilet and sink and new paint.  So yeah, looks like the original 1 day toilet switcharoo project already backfired on us and I don't have anything else to worry about!  We do have to pick a color still for the paint.  We were talking about a grayish-blue and now today Rob says green.  Green goes better with the rest of the house (we use it in every room) so I think he is right.  Now to find just the right green...

It is so hot here lately.  Rex and I have been to the pool several times in the last week.  We had to leave early one day though because SOMEONE POOPED IN THE POOL!!  Agh! No joke, not a Baby Ruth prank or anything- it was the real deal. It was in the little toddler pool area and the lifeguards cleared the place out in a hurry and it took a few minutes for me to realize what was going on.  But once I figured it out, we got the heck out of there and came back home.  Nasty.  I guess something slid out of someone's Little Swimmers'.  Thank goodness we were on the other side of the pool.  We'll wait a while before we go back and make sure all the chemicals in the pool have had plenty of time to work their magic.

Here are a few pictures of the boys, just for fun.

So I guess that's about it for us.  Just trying to stay cool and making our bathroom all shiny and pretty and smelling fresh again!
