Thad was supposed to go on a scout camp out this weekend, but due to the winter storm warnings for the area they were going to, the camp out got canceled, and it turned into a fabulous weekend. Thad had friday off and since we had nothing planned for the weekend he started into our list of projects. The list has grown since we got our tax refund ;) But Thad installed the over the range microwave I've been wanting since we moved in. As you can see from the pictures the cabinets were put up with that in mind, but for some reason the people who lived here never put one in. But what they did have was this weird "nook" for lack of a better word, that hung down below the rest of the cabinets and sat pretty much on top of the microwave on the counter. Lame. So Thad fixed it this weekend! Also, as you can tell from the picture it's not 100% finished. He still needs to put up the drywall to cover the vent but I was so excited to have it in and working that I had to post pictures anyway.
Here's the before with the awkward gap above the stove and nook above the microwave.
And here is the after with all the added counter space!
Thad has just been on a roll lately. After a little bit of harassing(from me) about planning a camp out valentines weekend he decided to do something very cute and give me a gift earlier in the week. So he got a cute frame and put a bunch of pictures of the kids(and one of the old us) in it. You can't tell from the picture but the frame has this really cool effect with the pictures, every other one is right at the front of the glass and the other are at the back kind of shadow-boxy. And yes, he wrote a poem to go with it.
Other than the great projects, we had a mellow relaxing weekend. We went to Rosemary's for dinner with Thads parents Saturday, and to an intense scary movie with some friends way past my bedtime Friday night. We had dinner with the rest of Thads family Sunday at his grandparents and just hung out.
And just for your enjoyment, here is the latest photo comparison of Thad and Sammy.
