Good morning all,
Today Cyndie and I are going to the granite yard to more seriously look for our countertop. We went last week, but took the kids. That trip was informative, but not horribly productive. We went to Home Expo last night on our date (to look at door/drawer handles) and ended up looking at their selection of granite. We found out that (in the salesperson's opinion at least) the advantage of going through them is that they sell by the square foot as opposed to most granite yards selling by the slab. So, anyway, it will be interesting to see what we come up with!
We're hoping to have the island installed by the end of the weekend (and possibly the plywood under counter as well). That would be nice because it would mean that the whole kitchen would be usable. Then it will just be the long work of actually finishing all the little things!
The family side of things continues to be a struggle with Emma and Timmy in a ornery mood of late. That's another reason to get the "main" part of the kitchen done ... less choas around the house. Emma has decided that she wants to take roller skating classes instead of playing soccer. Cyndie said last night (at dinner - out), "I think Emma is going to take the cheerleader route more so than the jock route. Her interests do tend to go that way. Although I think it would/will be wierd to go to a sports event to watch the cheerleaders! Timmy, on the other hand, seems to be more the sporting type. At least at this point he has no patience for anything that is not all action (I'm thinking more soccer than baseball). In his gymnastics class he wasn't really into the waiting between doing the different activities. But who knows what he'll be like in a few years when he's actually starting to think about those things.
