Saturday was another home improvement day for us. My brother (Nate) came up and offered more of his day than we had predicted. He brought up the oldest two kids, so Jen wouldn't have all four by herself. Nate and Jeremy started pulling off the bathroom countertop around 10:30 in the morning. They had the new one installed by 1:00. They next duty was installing the new faucets. Then, they began tearing up the flooring and removing the toliet. This is where they ran into trouble. The metal ring was rusted straight through and seemed to be unrepairable. They tried what they thought would be a quick fix from Home Depot to no avail. Nate left around 7pm, hoping for the best. We were both thankful for all his help.
In the meantime, I took the two girls to Highbanks Metro Park to go to the nature center and run on the trails. It was a lot of fun. They ran and ran and ran on the trail. I walked - no running for pregnant aunt! We came home, and they started Barbie and the Diamond Castle movie while I picked up pizza for lunch. We colored for awhile, watched Finding Nemo, and then they played hide-and-seek while I laid on the couch. It was fun, but I was totally exhausted!!! 
It was a good, productive day. An update on the bathroom... Jeremy found the perfect solution at Lowe's, fixed the toliet, installed the flooring, and reset the toliet. Yeah, my bathroom is back for my late night trips to the potty :)
