Tom and I have been working on the upstairs hall bathroom.  We tiled the floor, and then replaced the counter top with one of those integrated sink jobbies – oh and replaced the toilet (yeah, this all started because we had a perpetually running toilet which we couldn’t easily fix because somebody had the brilliant idea of extending the counter top across the top of the toilet).  And we needed to replace the sinks because the porcelain  had chipped off the cast iron sinks and there were big  rusted spots inside and continually shedding  chips in all the drawers from the underside.  So, it took us a whole week, but it looks really good.  I will try to post some pictures this week.  Next up is our bathroom.  We really only need to tile the bathroom floor.  We’d like to replace the counter top in our room as well, but it could probably wait for awhile.  So next weekend I’m guessing we’ll be hard at work again!
I visited a couple of elementary schools this week.  Since Spencer is on a traditional calendar schedule, we decided it would be easier if our younger kids were on the same schedule.  Littleton School District doesn’t run their schools on a year-round schedule, so we are trying to get our kids open enrolled there.  Both schools I visited are pretty old – built in the 50’s and 60’s.  They definitely had a character missing in our schools – all built on the same architectural plans.  The second school I visited was pretty small – 2 classrooms of each grade – which is similar to the school Spencer attended as a kindergartener.  I really liked the feel of that school and would be happy if Andy & Haley were able to go to school there.
Well – this is a long post, but hopefully will give you all a feel for the week.  Pictures hopefully in the next post!
