Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

I was happy to drive by the house on Friday and see that the windows we were missing were finally in and the siding guys were there finishing the shake.  All of the columns are on the front porch now, too!

We will have stone bases on the columns that will hopefully be getting started this week and all of the exterior that is left on the front will be stone.

Some friends of ours recently redid their bathroom and bought new mirrors as part of their remodel.  They told us they found some really great ones at Garden Ridge and we knew we wanted to check there for ours, too. We want to have framed mirrors for all of the bathrooms instead of just regular cut mirrors so this afternoon we stopped in.

When Robby and I lived in Florida we went to Garden Ridge all the time!  When we first moved there and didn't know anyone, our Saturday nights were spent going out to dinner and walking the aisles of Garden Ridge.  Good times!  Although we were really just going to look today, we ended up getting lucky and finding mirrors for ALL of the bathrooms.  There were 6 aisles of mirrors in every style, shape and size. We figured that we were there and they had what we needed, so why wait and make another trip.  It was a successful day and we were happy to have that checked off the list.  The kids were so cute helping us (Hudson measuring and the girls pushing the carts).

While we were there the kids also had fun checking out some of the other goodies Garden Ridge had to  offer and playing hide-n-seek while Robby and I made our final decisions.

I know I've said this before, but I'm loving that the building of this house is a family affair!
