Last night, Christian and I finished off the last of the Singapore Mental Math and the last set of words from Spelling Power for this year. He missed a couple of spelling words, so we will have one or two more very short days of spelling before we are completely finished with that. The big push right now is to finish up the annual research reports. The rough and first drafts are complete. It is now time to polish the final products and publish them.
The hardwood floor in the living room went down yesterday, so the only flooring left to put down is the hardwood for the dining room. I am not sure what will come next, but I think it will be the finishing of the floors and the placing of the rest of the cabinets. The cabinets that are in place now are mostly the ones that take the counter tops. When the rest are in place, we will have a much better sense for the final appearance of the kitchen. Of course, we really will not know how it will be until the new appliances are here and the floor is finished.
Also, here is a picture of our new cooktop from Thermador:
Dad! there are no comments, so everyone must be speechless. Oc%
That was from Christian
But don’t worry we ARE speechless, it’s just that that’s all that Mom has been talking about for two weeks so… you know
I like the Big Blue knobs, if they were yellow, they would look like the buttons on Mickey Mouse pants. (You have to read Calvin and Hobbes to understand that)
No, we all really, really like our new kitchen. In fact we could just leave it like it is so that Mom can sit there all day looking at it and thinking how great it will look when it is finished.
Dad aren’t you gonna put a comment???
Of course!!! I love it that you are writing. This is going to be hilarious reading in ten years!!!
