Before and After: The Master Bath

So here is the before.. blue carpet, broken glass mirror doors, a yucky old counter top, sink and fixtures and pink paint...














And here is the after.. It is not 100% complete yet. I want to replace both light fixtures still. But there is a new yummy faucet and sink, counter top, closet doors (we replaced those in Nov. 08) and the tile has been done for a while too. And some Coffee Swiss White Behr paint and Vola!

The mirror is by far the best piece.. We took down the old mirror and I went out and bought an open back frame from Michael's $99 plus half off, so $49 bucks. We bought a mirror cutter for $4 then cut the old mirror to fit the new frame.. It is HUGE, a 24x36 inches. Plus I can probably make 3 or 4 more frames mirrors with all the left over pieces.

Wednesday.

I have a new kitchen and bathroom. Photos later.

I bought the babies Halloween costumes yesterday at Babies R Us, half off. Photos of those once the babies wear them.

Jason, Will and Jacques went to Hooters last night. It's a guy thing.

I took Jason to soccer so the guys could finish up the kitchen.

I feel like I should buy stock in Home Depot.

Yesterday, I spent the day on Harbison, shopping and indulging in sweets and too many calories. I met up with Jamie for some bookstore and Starbucks fun. The babies did really well at the book store and it is fun to see them pick up a book and identify the characters. Then we went into Ross, never been there, totally LOVED it. Spent $21 on 3 pairs of jeans for Jason. We also stopped in Marshalls, but didn't really look around. Then we hit Hancock Fabrics, Once Upon a Child, and Babies R Us, wear not only did I get the babies costumes, but a rock star GOLD diaper bag/purse. Photos later.. We spent lunch at Chick Fil A in a totally tiny, toddler friendly, Play Place where the babies could really go up in and get lost. And finally, I made it home with two sleeping babies that I was successfully able to transfer to their designated sleeping spots, where they remained for 2 hours plus. SCORE!

Today the hubby is off and we take Will to the airport at 10. Jason is at school and the hubby and I will make it a day. Jason has karate tonight.

Another post later. Stay Tuned.

Breaking NEWS.

I just bought my tickets for premier night on November 20. Tickets were released just today in some areas. Woohoooo! This just made my day : )

Photos on Friday.

Thursday Things.

I just bought our Boo at the Zoo tickets for the 24th. This will be our 3rd year celebrating Halloween at the Zoo. Lots of candy, treats and animals.

I am still really wanting some pumpkin food. I downloaded pumpkin templates for the hubby because he has mad pumpkin carving skills. I can't wait to pick ours out. We will need 4 pumpkins this year. Jason will not and has never even touched the pumpkin guts or the inside of the pumpkin. To me, that's the best part.

With thoughts of being Thankful coming into full swing next month, not that I am always not Thankful, usually, I just purchased/donated 110 Thanksgiving Day Meals to SC's homeless shelter.

Jason had karate last night and is now sporting a red belt.

I have photos to post to flickr.

Jason has no school tomorrow. Hooray!

It is still rainy-ish here and has been for 2 days, plus Monday.

I got a surprise in the mail from Lewis. Love it.

I just saw 5 police cars hauling ass through our neighborhood, lights on and tires screeching. They even flew around in our culdesac. Crazy. EDITED: There goes another!

I am 91% done on the last book, Book #9 in my series. I think I may not know what to do with myself with the series at a close.. I have been reading the series nonstop since August.

Did you see that Jon and Kate will be Canceled?? Yep.

Today we have speech and a much needed trip to Walmart.
