Thawed Peas & Sticky Cupboards

I've wanted to get on here all week but been so ridiculously busy that I've not had chance. Anyway, we got the granite countertop installed last Saturday and it looks FAB. Here's a few pictures from the week...

Craig is SO handy. After they installed the granite he plumbed the new sink in in record time. Of course he had a great supervisor as you can see. I have concentrated on getting cupboard doors & drawers stained & sealed but they are still really sticky and a bit fluffy - hey, it's hard to keep the buggers clean, okay.

I love my new under-mounted sink & faucet! Doesn't it look lovely. We've really never had anything nice in our houses so it's so nice to spoil ourselves.

Once the grante was installed we needed to work on the floor - Brian M came over to help us move the old fridge to the basement & we cleared even more stuff into the living room, which now looks like something out of "Steptoe & Son" (English joke). While Brian & Craig did the heavy work, I got to spend a little time with Emily & Katy.

Floor was a big bargain. Our friend Agnieszka works at a local store that had a floor sale, so we got a cracking deal on wood laminate. Debbie & Lynn came over on Wednesday to help get us started, then Char & Jan came over last night to finish it off. We are such a bad influence on each other - as usual we got to bed at 1am a little wobbly in our boots. Floor looks great though!

A milestone for Jack this week that Char & Jan first witnessed - he now holds his own bottle when eating and even gets so cocky as to do it with one hand while he scratches his belly! He's changing so much each week, but guess what??? Still no teeth!

This picture was taken today after the new fridge was delivered. Bloody thing doesn't work so will have to ring SEARS in the morning. I wondered why it didn't make ice and my peas thawed out.....

Finally, tonight we babysat for our friends while they did the St. Patricks thing. Their daughter Grace is nearly 3 and such a little joy but oh my God, 3-year olds are exhausting!! She was a whirling dermish for 5 hours! I guess it gives us an idea where we'll be in 2 years.
