Bathroom #1 upstairs - cabinets and countertops installed...Very happy with the cabinets...Drywall is finally done in the bathrooms, so we primed and painted ceilings tonight (that's a lot of fun -- joking)...I really wanted to get the painting done BEFORE the cabinets went in, but the scheduling didn't work...

Bathroom #1 shower...

Bathroom #2 upstairs - cabinets and countertops installed...

Bathroom #2 upstairs - tub/shower...

Master bath downstairs -- cabinets and countertop installed...
This is a shower, not a trashcan!

Yea - doors are being installed...master bedroom...

Watermelons!  I see three in this photo...

I think this is a "Georgia Rattlesnake" watermelon!  Heirloom variety...

Squash bugs are driving us CRAZY!  And something is killing our squash plants at the soil surface on the stem -- borers?  We're organic gardeners, so I tried DE (diatomaceous earth) scattered liberally...don't think it's working...We pick off the bugs and eggs and drop into milk jugs filled with soapy water, but it doesn't seem to end - there are so many of them!  We've lost 4-5 big plants...
When we're not at the other house painting, filling holes in the trim, or watering the garden, we're at the rental packing...what happened to my helpers?!?  We were packing up books and they found some they haven't read...

Another "helper" -- she found a book too...
I cannot believe the chaos we're living in -- this is a mess!

The kids filled up this full sized sand bucket tonight with green beans!  In fact, they quit when they reached the top of the bucket!  We're going to try to blanche and freeze some tomorrow for the first time...

More zucs and cucs...

We are so exhaused.  I know -- I sound like a broken record.  We are just so tired.  Painting ceilings is really hard and uncomfortable work!    Trying to figure out our move date -- maybe 8/6 to give the floor and trim guys a little more time.  The man doing the trim thinks he might finish this week-end, then the floor crew can come in to start sanding.  They need 5 days with no one stepping on the hardwoods.  We have so much to do...

On a totally different note, I was happy to see this list of verses/character traits to pray over my children (and Scott and me!) recently.  I first saw this through Focus on the Family when Ashley was a newborn and just saw it again on John Piper's twitter...
