Kyle got the doors painted and installed.

Then he was able to clear out the garage so I can park in it.

We found some curtain hardware to hold the curtains open and got them installed on the dining and living room windows.

Kyle and I hung our wall hanging that we bought on one of the floating islands of lake Titicaca in Peru.

Kyle hung this cabinet that he built many years ago.  

I installed all the doorknobs (well, Kyle did a few).

Kyle swapped out the switch for a sensor for the lights on the stair treads.  Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any sort of ambient light sensor so the stair lights go on ALL THE TIME, even during the day.  We're going to have to fix that because it drives me a more nutty than it probably should.  :)

See- lights on in the day- every time anyone or anydog walks by.

The kids found their old toothbrush holder in the bath toy basket (they also found the bath toy basket).  Luckily my nearly 12-year-old son doesn't mind the jungle animal theme in their bathroom.  

We hung some shelves in J and A's rooms, above their beds so they'd have somewhere to put their clocks and lamps and Magic the Gathering cards.

Today my bathroom mirror came.  I love it.  I'm really glad we went with a custom mirror instead of just buying the biggest mirror we could find.  Especially since the plugs would have made that option difficult.

Home Making

Kyle painted the doors and we bought doorknobs (23 of them), so tomorrow we should be able to install doors.  

He also did a few little jobs to make me happy.  My old dry-erase calendar was too big for the space we had, but we found this one, and the blank dry erase board below it.  

We had a shower extender from our last house where we had used it to raise a shower head.  Kyle put in in my side of the shower to lower the head.  The different color metals makes it look really great, I know, I'm thinking about how well a spray paint would stick to something in a wet area.  

While Kyle had the shower head off, he found these inside it.  There were actually more, but he dumped some down the drain before showing these to me.  Gross.  I think my shower head has better water pressure now though.

We hung the magnet board and a book shelf in E's room. Notice the poor baby in his bed.  He's sick.  Even sick, he likes having a big bed.  

Close up.  We used to have these on our fridge, but magnets don't stick to the new fridge.

Kyle adjusted the length on the chandeliers so that they are level now, and I put the candles in.  We also got the curtains hung.  

We still don't have blinds in any of the other windows, but I did cut a piece of cardboard to put in the small window in our bedroom.  It's classy.
