Cabinets!

The cabinets came just after I left for work yesterday. So it was quite a fun surprise to see them in place when I go home last night. Even without the appliances, I'm so exited to be in the new space. Its so much more open and has so much more usuable space for storing items. I'm guessing this kitchen is easily twice the size of our old bungalow in NW Denver. As seems to be the case, Steph and I spent a fair amount of time last night going over decisions for the entire room. We picked out colors for our baseboard (a creamy white) and the walls (tan/gold). We also picked out the handles for the cabinets. It seems like every day is a new decision to make. But everything is getting closer to the finish by the day. In fact I think we are a couple of days ahead of schedule.

The good news in the house is that Mason is adjusting to sleeping in his twin bed, but it also means a little more freedom for him as he shows up in our bedroom every once in a while. We are thinking he needs an alarm clock in his room so he doesn't wake us up at 6:00am every morning. Which would be fine if we weren't up until 1:00am taking care of both him and Isla last night.

So last night I had a dream that I one of my kids had jumped on my back and it was now really sore/tight. Well, I guess my mind tried to create a story to fit what the body was feeling. Because I woke up to my daughter throwing her binky at me from her crib. Isla had trouble sleeping last night so I got her calmed down and layed on the floor thinking I would leave after she was sound asleep. Apparently I was tired and I spent the entire night on the floor of her room. Needless to say, my back's sore today and I'm still tired.

Also last night when Steph and I got back from the Rockies game, Mason had just woken up and was with Poppi when we walked in. So he got to stay up a little later than usual last night. However it was very funny last night when we told him it was time to sleep and he decided to try to negotiate. He started by saying, "Guys, guys, guys, The deal is..." which at that point Steph and I started cracking up and laughing, which got Mason laughing and then he forgot what he was going to say...so we then went to bed. Steph likes to say to Mason - "Listen, the deal is that you have to X so we can all do Y" Always funny when kids pick up the things you say to them.
