It has been an incredibly FULL day!!! We kicked it off with garage sale shopping around our street. We met the lovely people from across the street and bought a laundry sink for $10. Win! Conveniently, we were bringing our washer and dryer to our house today, so we loaded up the sink along with them and made our way to the house.
We wandered through the house slowly, and I have to say, I was in awe. Friday was a big day around our house. Not only did we get a garage door finally, but we got all of our plumbing fixtures installed, and I love them all!!! We had elected to go with their plumbers standard stuff, except for the few things we picked out, like the kitchen and en suite sinks. But I knew nothing of faucets, toilets, etc. I’m pleased to say that the plumbers “standards” are not bottom of the barrel AT ALL. Everything feels good and strong and beefy and looks wonderful. I am SO pleased!
I am SO thrilled with the vanities. Even just things like the toilet paper holders and towel bars are a bit thicker than average. They don’t wobble or flex. It all feels SO sturdy. I love that.
My brother and his wife and kids just moved out here this week, and we hadn’t had a chance to see them yet, so they came and met us at the house for a visit and a tour. Its always SO fun to see family, but we’re also kind of in our element right now, and we love showing our house off, haha! So we enjoyed walking them around and catching up while the kids ran laps around the house. It was a really nice way to spend a chunk of the afternoon. Before they left, Simon helped Brady haul the laundry machines downstairs, which was a legit weight off Brady’s shoulders. Thanks, Sim!
Once they headed back, Brady got to work on a few little things he had to do, and I drove to pick up some late lunch with the kids. While we were gone, Brady siliconed the kitchen and vanities, oiled the island top one last time, installed the last few drawer fronts and handles that we were missing, and installed the laundry chute doors.
We got soft close for them and everything, so they’re SO nice and don’t make any noise. I’m excited to use them!
We were home for the evening, and the kids were all pretty overtired, so we kept a pretty low profile. Rowan started smacking himself and saying “bonk,” so that was kind of hilarious. Perhaps we were all overtired, haha!
Once the kids went down, I got ready for maternity photos!! A friend had reached out, looking for pregnant ladies to photograph, and since I am in the VERY significant stages of pregnancy, I asked and she answered! We had high hopes for sunset silhouette pictures, but today has been grey and rainy, so instead, we rocked some rainstorm pictures 🙂 I am SO excited to see how they turn out. I LOVE the rain! It was also nice to get out of the house a little.
Now, I can definitively say that its been a FULL day and I am ready for bed! First, though, to fold the biggest load of kids laundry we’ve ever done. THEN bed.
