Desperation, Frustration and Jubilation

Our bathroom - an opportunity for learning.
1. Desperation - Eric was supposed to be drilling a hole to the outside for the vent fan when he told me he felt like a male praying mantis, he was digging a hole for his wife and it was going to kill him. (the power tools were giving him a bit of trouble)
2. Frustration - trying to hang drywall with 2 munchkins running around, climbing up stepladders (that would be Cora) and having blizzard weather so the girls couldn't be shooed outside
3. Jubilation - the emotion we will feel when the bathroom is all put back together and how we feel when we walk in to a bathroom that has 4 walls again with drywall hung and mudded, even my tiny little linen closet ready to be filled. The whole thing will just be joyous when we have our new bathroom! (and when we look back over the process rather than being dirty and stuck in the middle!)

I can't imagine trying to hang drywall without kids under foot! Good job. I hope it's looking great.

Hi Haffners! It's the Hayden's from good ol' Perrett! I happened to catch the link on Holly and Jared's blog. How exciting, you have two adorable girls! I think the last we heard of you was when you were pregnant with your first. We have a little boy now (he'll be 1 on the 29th!). We have a website: nathanhayden.net. Anyway it's good to see what you've been up to and your girls are so cute!!
