cha-cha-cha-changes

This morning I looked at my trash can and thought, “You have been replaced, upgraded.   But you have been good.  You have served me well for many years.”

Although these babies are fully functioning, my old trash can hasn’t found a new home yet.

Guess I am just used to seeing that old silver guy sitting around.  He was a Christmas gift back in ‘04. I think 7 years is a pretty good run, considering almost everything in this photo is no longer with us.

Even the paint and carpet have been changed. 

So have these 2004 faces:

And, sadly, my face isn’t so fresh anymore either:

But change can be good when it brings a new kitchen!

It still has some finishing bits, but I love it.

Hope I still do in 2018, because it’s not going anywhere for a long time.

the boxes are being opened

and a new kitchen is inside.  i kept telling myself that since the layout was staying basically the same, that it wouldn’t seem like a big change.  but as the cabinets go up, one by one,  i am starting to let myself get a little excited.

yay!

the undoing and the undone

we tore out our kitchen this weekend.

it was interesting to see it come out, piece by piece.  a few things were unearthed that i hadn’t seen for a while.  we came across some blue & pink plastic, sectioned trays that i used to serve the kiddos lunches on (think school cafeteria tray).  i miss those  little sectioned lunches.

the last thing to go was the sink…that is what I miss most in the empty kitchen.

the new cabinets should arrive this week.  I am crossing my fingers and toes and hope everything works without a glitch.
