the final countdown

it's been a week since i last mentioned that the bathroom was "almost finished!" aaaand we're still in the same spot. we ran into a few complications (the window we ordered wasn't ready until last friday, the shower fixture we bought doesn't fit the pipes, and the medicine cabinet measurements online were wrong, so it's too small for the opening!! grrrrr.) so now we're just waiting until russ can fit us in to finish it up.

however, the toilet and sink are in working condition and for that, we are grateful! here's how the bathroom is looking today:


i'm in love with the floor. like, a lot.

poor little sink space needs some light and a mirror to brighten things up...all in good time :)




the light switches are inside the bathroom now! (the switch used to be out in the hall!)
 


aside from the light fixture above the sink, we had russ put in two can lights:



we're hopeful that the bathroom will be in working order by the end of this week (cross your fingers for us!) but in the meantime, we've decided to tackle another project that kind of got put on the back-burner: the playroom!!! 

carpet is being installed today at eleven a.m.!! hopefully i can get some pictures up for you soon :)

and in case you don't really care about all of our home renovations, here are some darling pictures of the kids from st. patty's day:





hope your wednesday treats you well!

st. patty's day

the past few days have been rough.  i've been sick (with just about everything imaginable...headache, sore throat, stuffy nose, chills, achy muscles, etc...) so things at the mckinley household have been a little lot crazy.  we've been watching a lot of movies, eating popsicles constantly, and i'm just looking forward to the day that i have my health back!  (being sick really makes you grateful for that!)

however, we did manage to have a good st. patty's day.  my mom sent us the cutest little package of goodies ever (there was also a green hat and shamrock necklace not pictured...) so we got some decorations up a few days before the holiday rolled around.  we actually slept at my parent's house friday night (since we went up to heber to see some friends friday night) so saturday morning we had a delicious breakfast complete with green powdered sugar, kiwi's, and a green smoothie (those were the green menu items at least!)



saturday night we went to a party at jeff + natasha's house where we had a soup + salad bar and lots of desserts.  (my life really does seem to revolve around good food doesn't it??)  we had fun playing games and hanging out.  thank goodness for wonderful friends!

p.s. happy birthday to the greatest mother-in-law ever!! we hope you have a great day! :)
