House update: Kitchen

This week, in order to get ready for Elias' birthday party in our "backyard house", we worked A LOT! There were many moments that I didn't think we would be able to pull it off, but alas, with the help of our AMAZING family, we did!
Elias , Andy and Uncle Keith in the "kitchen" before it was put in.

Andy putting together the kitchen cupboards with Eli's help of course!

I spend 3 days ironing on banding for the plywood cupboard fronts that Andy made... next time I tell you we are going to build a house, remind me about this. On the upside, I got to listen to A LOT of random and mostly interesting radio shows. The world was going to end last Saturday... I almost spent my last 3 days on earth ironing on edging. Matthew 6:19-20
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
came to mind a lot as I spent the week out working, this house may burn down, and we won't always live here, its just a house. Right now, its a job, an exciting yet sometimes boring one.
Then we had to take off the cupboard fronts to seal/stain them.
Two days before the party.... Im not sure if we are going to make it.



Ahhhhh....
