House Project update



We haven't had a house project update in awhile.

It's been busy with a lot of interior decisions. Flooring, counters, paint -- you name it!

Here is an exterior shot of the front and one of the pool.

******************

The circus came to town.

When I picked Sophie up from daycare at 4:00pm today she asked if I was going to the gym. I asked her why, and she said that she wanted to go to the circus. It's hard to tell little missy that I NEED to go work out and I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than go to the circus (this is Salmon Arm, after all). Conveniently enough, the circus event people had given a bunch of free passes to the daycare. Of course parents still have to pay.

So, we rushed home, grabbed a quick bite, bathed Fynn and put on his pjs since we'd be getting home after bedtime for him, and headed over to the circus.

Actually the performers (really the aerialists) had some talent. I can't say their props and equipment were much to look at (old and some of it looked like it needed a power washing). And of course the gimmick factor was high. $6.00 for a few rides down the giant slide at intermission. We didn't do that. And $4.00 for a little thing of cotton candy. We didn't do that either.

But Sophie enjoyed it and Fynn got a kick out of the lights and noise.

Wow! The pool looks great! Jackson can't wait to show you his 'Starfish' moves from lessons.

And did you get to see the elephants. We saw them as they set up in Oliver. Elephants in Oliver...who would ever guess!
