The morning was a bit hectic, in that the contractors needed grout immediately to get the day started (which was not entirely true; they could have waited a few hours). So, we went straight away to Home Depot for tile grout. I got an off white so that it would blend rather nicely. We delivered that and spun around for Whole Foods' Mom and Me art program. We got there about 15 minutes late, so we missed the singing and snack time. But, we made a cute ladybug that Jonathan wants to send to GG. 

When that was over, we went to IKEA to get 2 more storage shelves (love that they are $15!!), a sleeping mat for J2, legs for a DIY table I'm working on, and a mirror for the 1/2 bath. When I got home, I was really in for some excitement: the kitchen was on fire, sort of. The contractor had accidentally left a halogen light on leaning against the wooden frame of the bathroom door. It had started to smolder, so the whole room was smoky. I actually used the fire extinguisher (for the first time) since I saw embers. I wouldn't have even gone in the kitchen had I not seen the back door open (I was concerned that one of the cats may have escaped, but he hadn't).  So, I called the general contractor frantic, and he called his two guys. It's all resolved and everything is fine, but that sure got my adrenaline pumping.
