It's fun to be 5!

This weekend was spent outside as much as possible - the weather was beautiful and warmer than the average temp. Lex had a lot of fun in the backyard by the pool and was posing for pictures. She has recently lost a bottom tooth and her 2 top teeth are very wiglly.

It's good to be 5!  Do you remember being 5?

Man, I love this girly girl.

"the nitch"

So...the nitch is done!  Mark did an amazing job - I'm so proud of my hubby.  He was very precise in his measurements and very picky with the details. We ended up with beautiful crown molding in order to have surround sound and hide the speaker wires. Below is the progress.

The kids were given permission to write on the wall-it would eventually get covered.

It backfired a couple of days later when Alexa wrote on the neighbors door.

Mittens, wondering what is going on...she is such a good fit for our family.

The nitch, surrounded with a shell and speaker wires coming out of the wall.

Lots of caulking...Mark is such the pro!

 

The nitch is done, now on to the crown molding. The blue tape is holding the speaker wires. Yes, we watch the bachelor, mostly to hear Mark's stupid comments.

Crown molding is up and the room is finished. Well, almost.  Curtains need to be hung.
