Grandma Robyn's Giant Cookie

Uncle Maury came for work and stayed with us. We got together with all his family for a visit. Grandma Robyn made each family a giant cookie. So giant it came in a pizza box. So yummy!

Book Group
I realized this last book group that it has been 4 years since Tiffany first invited me to her book group. I thoroughly enjoy our book groups which consist much more of women getting together for a night out then any major discussion of a book. Although I do enjoy the variety of books that I would normally not come across or choose to read. They are a group of really fun women and we always stay up much to late enjoying each other's company.

I had a good turn-out of 11 women and we actually talked about the book quite a bit. I had the silly fun idea to make use of the candy molds given to me by Aunt Carol and made the title of the book out of chocolate.

The book "Charms For The Easy Life" by Kaye Gibbons had been suggested by some of the women and since I had seen the movie and really enjoyed it I thought it would be a great time to read the book. I really liked the book and had fun watching the movie again.

Valentine's Day 2013

The boys loved following their strings (with a lot of help from Dad) to their Cars cameras.

And James surprised me with my favorite carrot cake.

Bathroom Remodel

BEFORE

I was super excited to begin the changes to my bathroom. We purchased a new sink cabinet from IKEA and James assembled it. (He is getting really good at it.) The guys pulled out the old one along with the huge mirror. The wall needed a couple of coats of mud and sanding. I painted it blue that night and the next morning they installed the new sink cabinet, along with a new light and mirror. I am so very happy with it. It feels like there is so much more space in the room and I really like the blue. That night I stayed up late organizing my new drawers and was amazed at the amount of stuff that fit. I also found a nice hamper, toilet paper holder and outlet/light switch covers. The room feels brand new.

AFTER

The floor just has plywood on it for now.

When the money is available we will replace the tub and the tile.

But for now I am enjoying my bathroom.
