Weekend projects
Before winter came Mark needed to stop a leak in on of our hose bibs (to prevent a major leak if it froze) Mark had to go in the crawl space and asked if Megan wanted to go. She was SO excited. She changed into work clothes, grabbed a flashlight and off they went. She was helped follow the pipes to find the shut-off and really didn't want to leave the crawl space.
When they we done and after I helped get her out, she quickly informed me that she needs to have a flash light that goes on her head like Daddy's and it has to be blue! I guess I need to get her one if I want her to keep helping with projects.
Finally, we are going to tile our back splash! We have had the tiles for months but didn't want to take up a summer weekend for an indoor project so now that we were hosting Thanksgiving, we had to get it done. Here is a boring before picture.
Megan was warned that she was going to have to entertain herself for most of the day so she started off watching Olivia upside down. But once we changed it to a non-kid show, she moved on to other odd activities to keep her busy. 
I took a lot of time to lay out the pattern just to make sure we had enough of the small tiles.
At this point, we were already sore from leaning over the counter and under the cupboards. Not even halfway done and I thought it was never going to end.
Comedic relief! Megan came scooting into the kitchen on her lady bug, wearing her "bike helmet" and her tu-tu made from a foam floor puzzle piece. She is a little weird sometimes.
Worst position ever!!! Behind the stove, under the microwave, straddling a gas line...horrible! I'm sore even thinking about it.
But I guess it was worth all of the pain, so pretty! I even leave the under cabinet lights on when we leave just because it is so pretty. The glass tile just looks so good when the light shines on it.
It was hard to get a good picture of the tile that doesn't make it look "flat" but at least you can see the pattern. So glad it is over and our kitchen remodel is officially done!
