feelin' like fall

crunchy leaves to jump and play in

pretty mums for the front steps

sweet pumpkin fudge

crisp, sweet, fresh local apples

soft and fluffy cider donuts

school days

i'm playing catch-up...

3rd and 5th grade...don't they look excited!?

this was thing 3's pre-school orientation day

this was her first full day of pre-shcool

before, after and some in between

the frightening before...

disgusting! i only show you so you can truly appreciate the after with me...

up comes the floor...

down come the walls...

gutted!

a lot of plumbing and "behind the scenes work went on before these walls went up...

and the floor went down...

the tub and the toilet went in...

the shower tile went up...

notice, i have 6 corner shelves-i LOVE them!

the lights and mirror are up and the vanity is in...

and the walls are painted!

we still need to paint and reinstall the trim and install the closet door (which is on order)-a little each weekend...

i'm so thrilled to have my bathroom done.

Thanks to my mom and dad

for putting their lives on hold

so they could "help" (really do it all) us.
