Finished!

Happy Easter Everyone!

Wow! I know its hard to believe but portions of our house are finally finished! We put the final touches on the dining room last night and it is completely done. Can I just say I am so glad. It has been a lot of work, but the result is worth it. I posted a new final picture with all our stuff put back where it belongs. We just have touch up painting left in the bathroom, then it will be finished too. The plan is to finish that tonight, but I'm not sure if that plan is going to work out or not. Either way we should have everything done this week, except for the backsplash and there is a small debate going on about whether or not that is going to get done this week or not. I'll keep you posted about the results of that debate.

Today has been a great day. It actually started yesterday with egg dying after baseball practice. We wrapped up that session with ice cream from Braums. This morning we had some challenging Easter egg hunts and can I just say, Zach is much better at hiding them this year! We took in a movie this afternoon, Horton Hears a Who. It was ok, not as good as I expected. If you haven't seen it yet, I'd wait for the rental. After the movie we did more egg hunting and then had a confetti egg fight. All in all a very successful day and some great quality time together. Easter dinner is cooking right now: Ham, twice baked potatoes, homemade bread, salad, deviled eggs and chocolate cake for dessert. With all of that food the evening will probably be spent in sweatpants to allow for the expanding tummy! (Did I mention I plan to get back on track with going to the gym tomorrow??)

I hope your day has been spent enjoying time with family and friends. Our thoughts go out to all of you on this special day.
