God Ajö IKEA!

Friday, September 29th, 2006 will mark my last day at IKEA, Ottawa. After four years of herring, meatballs and more cinnamon buns than I care to think about I will be embarking on a new journey; one paved in ice. I have been hired by Skate Canada as Events Inventory Coordinator and I couldn't be more excited, nervous or thrilled! More details to follow as the big day approaches.

Before...

Here are some before pics of the kitchen, bathroom and back yard, to give you an idea of what we've been up to... If all goes according to plan we should be posting the 'After's in a few weeks. Here's Elizabeth and and Simon playing in their new backyard... So, as you can see the place was a little blue.

Update

Okay, I know it, I'm a dead-beat blogger. I've been busy, really! I have this week off work, so I will now give you all the lo-down on the Moore-Main front. 1. The reno's on our house on First Ave are coming along swimmingly. We held a fabulously productive painting party on the 26th and with the help of Sara, Marc, Andrew, Melissa, Dwight, Jackie and Don the house was practically totally painted in under three hours. Some remarks were made that it was more of a light-labor camp than a party, but I maintain that if Beer and Pizza are served and no one is flogged then it classifies as a party. BIG BIG thank-yous go out to our campers, um, party-guests... 2. Elizabeth maintains a high level of adorability. See pic above. 3. Nicholas has started high-school. No, not a typo, HIGH-SCHOOL. It is horrifying, almost unbelievable, but nonetheless true. So far no yicky pre-teen mustache has appeared, but the B.O. is alive and growing.
