Today the painter and plumber were supposed to come finish up the bathroom. The painters came in the morning and then put the mirror back up. The plumber got in a fender bender on the way to lunch right before he was supposed to come to our house, so that meant no toilet and sink again. I wasn't really that surprised. At this point it's almost laughable that they've never come the first time they schedule something. It is painted though, so it's still not usable, but it looking better.
I finally finished the baby quilt 2 weeks after Anderson was born, but I did get it in the mail today, so that's a relief. I always love a good, fuzzy flannel on the back.
Right when Spring break started the workers came in and replaced the dry wall. Wahoo- all the walls are back in place! On the following Monday they were supposed to place the vanity and put in the base boards. The guys who were supposed to move the vanity were sent to a different job, so they only put up half the base boards and called it a day. We didn't hear back from them for another week. They said they'd be back this week to do the floor. The tile we wanted to use was on back order, so he was just going to pick up samples that were readily available since it's a small job. But...we haven't heard anything since then.
I always love the scrappy blocks, so when I made the half log cabins for do.Good Stitches I decided to make a bunch more for a baby quilt. The baby is coming this week, so of course, I'm behind per usual. I'm just impressed that I actually got some sewing done at all.
With all of the craziness around here, I got behind on my blocks for this year. I didn't complete January's blocks until this week. The next day I completed February blocks.
January - Half Log Cabins using fussy cuts and your choice of thickness for the outer layers.
I was so excited when they finally came on Tuesday to get rid of the hole in our ceiling. Wahoo...um, nope. The guy put up the sheet rock then realized he forgot to put in the insulation, so he has to come back and redo it. Sigh. We're still waiting to hear when he's returning. Boo.
We get a report of our son's usage on his school chrome book each week. We can see any website Little Man's been to, what he's searched on Google, and any Youtube videos that he's watched. This week's search made me laugh out loud. Apparently he's not a fan of our parenting style:
(They're also studying the Civil War in Social Studies right now). Oh, to be 12 and think you know more than your parents. Joel sat down with him and Little Man confessed he's angry that we limit his electronic device usage when his friends don't have similar restrictions. We had another discussion about addiction to electronics and also about the real possibility of exposure to pornography without any restrictions. He wasn't all that happy, but he admitted that he could understand why parents would not give free access to electronics. Sigh. The misunderstood teen angst is already in full force with this one.
I saw this on Facebook and it made me chuckle:
