Snow and a remodeling update

Remember that wheelbarrow that was partially buried after our last blizzard? Well, here it is now, well, at least the snow around it anyways. I just can't believe how much snow we've had this winter! It is beautiful and I may be a nut, but I absolutely LOVE being snowed in. Cabin fever is not part of my vocabulary. Anyways, I won't bore you with a million pictures of snow around here. Obviously the kids have played in the snow till they aren't begging me to go out in it every minute, though each time we get more snow, they are discussing how much better their jump is going to be, or how much longer it is until Leah can no longer walk through the snow!
You may wonder if homeschooled kids get snow days...well, yes they get to play in the snow, but not until they get their school work done first! Fortunately they have the best of both worlds! We won't be doing school until July, and they also get to sled and have fun.

Since the weather outside has been frightful, Dennis and I have gotten lots done on the bedroom. As of right now, the painting of the walls is done (no pictures yet) and the ceiling light fixtures are up. I am painting the trim and doors before we put them all up. Very exciting!

The gray walls being cut in...ceiling fan and track light for over the desk area are up.

We also punch out the wall to replace this doorway between the sewing room and the playroom side leading to Eric's room.

Above: doorway before

Below: doorway after, looking through to the exterior wall of Eric's room. The picture is deceptive. You can see in the far room a door...that is actually the old door from where the french doors are now. To the left in the background is the open doorway leading into Eric's room. I'll post a better picture where you can see it all more clearly later.

And me, painting the primer on the walls. Please disregard the Navy coveralls that used to be Dennis'. I'm not trying to make a fashion statement here :)
