our weekend

living right next door to an elementary school sure has it's perks!

finley chose to make cupcakes to celebrate her potty training success! we're so proud of her!! my mom taught me how to sew a basic skirt. i'm not sure whether i should be happy that i now know how to make something so fun and easy or whether to be mad at her that she didn't teach me this a long time ago!

And hopefully I can post a picture soon to show what Brian and our friend Corey worked on this weekend. It involved moving an insane amount of junk out of our slop room and laying a slate tile floor. I almost peed my pants in excitement when i saw it, because it looks so good, and also because I could hardly believe how stinking huge the room was once you got rid of all our junk.

thanks to all the random craigslisters who saved us a trip to the dump!
