The second half of April included MUCH time prepping blue books and wrapping up the rest of our CC stuff. The older kids chose to push through so they could be done at the same time as the younger kids and they accomplished it so well done Challenge A. Stay tuned for vids from the end of year celebration in May! The weathers have been here off and on for two weeks at the end of April getting all of our house work going. The first time was the infamous good friday weekend where the kids got sick and blake broke his wrist, luckily they bailed the same day and so neither of the suffered the kids fate. They returned the next week to begin the bathrooms in earnest. So far it's looking great. We can't wait for the transformation to be complete. It's not easy to have everything lined up for bathroom renos, they require planning and correct timing. I've become the amazon MAVEN getting all the plumbing parts and trim here. Several trips back and forth to Redmond and Issaquah in the same day for tile and items from the Kholer store. Calling quartz places, glass places, plumbers. It's been quite the learning curve. I can now see some design things that I would have changed a little if I'd understood more about the process but overall I'm loving everything and I think it will turn out great. Looking forward to the big reveal. Other than that the month has been much of the usual, school, church, etc. SORRY but the pics loaded newest to oldest so you might want to go the the bottom first and scroll up. *insert eye roll

someday he won't fit this dino outfit and come downstairs at random times in it and I will be sad.
gian hole in wall, toilet in shower, dtra in floor heating (except we aren't using that aspect in the kids bath but DEFINITELY in ours), its still a great underlay for tile.
floor tile lined up and ready to go
silly boy stuffed himself inside a pillowcase with the pillow still in it!
I'm trying out drip coffee. So far I like it but I've found I'm quite picky on what coffee I drink now so there is like five bags of coffee in my cabinet.
we had to host Challenge at my house for two weeks but it was really fun and nice to change the pace.
Bye bye old carpeted bathroom. see that wall behind the door? gone!
see the wall on the shower pushed in from the closet side? Opened up!
