Natalie's Weekend

The weekend started out to be a lot of fun for Natalie. She attended Bella's fourth birthday party at Artworks, one of her favorite places on the planet. As soon as she put her art apron on she was off and we didn't see much of her for a good hour. She was busy designing and creating mini masterpieces.
Natalie and Kamryn made painted balloon art.

Natalie spun a salad spinner that contained a paper plate and three different colors of paint.

The rest of Saturday wasn't all that spectacular for Natalie. As I've previously mentioned, there was a leak in her bathroom coming from the AC unit. It ruined her vanity. After tearing up the linoleum, Mark discovered that the floor underneath it was wet and moldy. After an hour and a half at Floor and Decor and more time at Home Depot we bought tile, paint, a vanity with mirror, backerboard, spacers, and grout. Natalie was a good sport the entire time, but you could tell it wasn't the best time she'd had all weekend. Here she is relaxing with her Sonic Drink at Home Depot.

I guess shopping can't be that rough when you have a Sonic grape slush and a sweet ride?!

Sunday was a day spent working on the preliminary work in Natalie's bathroom. Mark sprayed the floor with a bleach mixture and let it dry. He was able to get the backerboard cut and the mirror taken down (miraculously in one piece thanks to help from my dad.) There are some places on the wall that need to be texturized and we'll paint it before we tile.

Natalie had fun playing with the cat today. He was surprisingly agreeable and enthusiastic to be carried around in the laundry basket. He seemed to enjoy the attention he was getting.

Natalie has tons of new birthday toys, but the best toy is this laundry basket!
