Life without a kitchen

Big shock to everyone, our kitchen floor is nowhere near being done!  Poor Jamie spent almost his entire break working sunup to sundown demolishing the many layers of flooring in the kitchen.  By the end of the week, everything was out of the kitchen, and they had the cement board installed.  Andy came for a visit, so Jamie and his buddies has a "guys weekend", and he got to unwind a little bit.

Life without a kitchen has been less than fun.  I've been pretty crafty about planning meals for the slow-cooker or electric skillet, but trying to hand-wash everything in the bathtub without getting any solids down the pipe has been time-consuming and obnoxious.  There was a lot of house-cleaning this weekend...

Enough complaining, life is pretty great otherwise!  The girls are so hilarious, I just love them to pieces.

Casting the sweetest spell

Without prompting, Maggie asked to put on "Show-Off Show"... which I think is a fashion show?

Fierce

The girls spent the night at Grandma's on Thursday, and Will was there too!  As always, the kids had an amazing time!

Jamie let Maggie play the claw game, assuming she would never win - but the kid's got talent!  Side note - I could floor my entire kitchen with stuffed animals twice over.  So much plush...

and it gets really quiet...
