Dishwasher Woes {Friday Favorites}

Hello friends!  Just a few highlights from a rather uneventful week.  

1.  I can now say that our new appliances are 90% installed.  We are still waiting for the trim to go around the cooktop, but our handyman was able to install the new dishwasher.  The drama continued when he cut away the tile from the legs of the old dishwasher and realized that it still wouldn't come out.  

We have slate floors which are very thick.  Combining this with the fact that the homebuilder did not put plywood under the granite counters meant that there is hardly room for the dishwasher's height. The handyman and Michael worked to cut away more tile and finally managed to get the old one out and the new one in.  However, we are opting not to fill in all of the missing tile since it will prevent any future repairs on the dishwasher.  We will hide it with a runner rug.  Not ideal, but it will work.  

2.  I had a week of pretty pathetic Fitbit steps, but I think I am back on track now.  Yesterday, I managed almost 20,000 steps with a walk in the morning with Albie and another one with Michael in the evening.

3.  My Timehop lately has been bringing back so many wonderful memories.  It's always one of the first things I look at on my phone in the mornings.  In the photo above from 2009, the kids were doing their favorite thing.  They played on this swingset constantly!  Great memories.

4.  Jack had a choir end of year party on Tuesday at the local trampoline place.  He had an absolute blast and certainly slept well that night.  I had fun talking with the other mom's and helping out.  I was surprised to see the pic below on the choir teacher's school twitter feed.

5.  I saw the tshirt below in Walmart or Target.  So funny!  If you have a teen, you might relate.

6.  I read through my Aldi ad after seeing Justine's post about the great items she finds there.  Look at this funny item.  Wouldn't this be perfect for the kids on a summer day when they start arguing?  Ha, ha!

On the agenda this weekend:  Grace's 8th grade party (so excited for her!), a school festival with a choir performance from Jack, and probably some projects around the house.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
