BP Squared

Yes, I know - tonight's post has the two BP's - Bathroom Progress and Batting Practice. I'm getting more creative as each day passes. :)

First on to bathroom progress. Last night the guys (Grandpa Dave and Daddy) began ripping the tile off of the wall. Even Grandma Le got in on the action. They were able to rip off quite a bit, so here are the pictures from yesterday night.

Then today, Great-Grandpa Frank came out from Lincoln to help out. Then the work really took off! Tile came flying off of the walls and we began to see studs. They found a bunch of sketchy work that had been done earlier, and some rotting that had taken place. It was a good time for us to begin doing this, there are a lot of things that need replacing. We are hoping the plumber that we called shows up tomorrow, because there are a couple of supply lines that need to be professionally done. We also "ordered" a large dumpster, because right now all of the tile and drywall is being housed in 5 buckets and the tub - as you can see in the pictures below. Here are Great-Grandpa Frank and Daddy busy working......


Now on to the second BP - batting practice. Alex has really taken to liking to attempt to hit the ball. He throws the bat to his preferred pitcher - in this case it was Daddy - and then assumes a left-handed stance. (the left-handed REALLY pleases his Daddy!!) Although he rarely lucks out and gets a hit, he throws the bat down and begins to RUN!!!! Instead of a baseball diamond, Alex creates more of a baseball triangle.....enjoy!




Off to help with the demo!!! :)

The math teacher in me really likes that title! :)
Isn't strange how when you start a remodel, it gets a life of its own? You should ask me about my master bathroom remodel. Let's just say it started the December before Steven was born and it's still not done. Yeah, I'm not a happy camper about that!
I think Nate agrees with Andy about the left handed-ness in baseball. So far Steven throws left and bats left (plays hockey left), but eats and writes with his right, so I think the jury is still out; however, with a left handed uncle and grandpa on Nate's side of the family and left handed great-grandpas on my side of the family, well, a left-handed child for throwing and batting wouldn't be a shocker.
