BUH BYE! 80's green carpet!!!

This is why I've been MIA for the last couple weeks. We have been in renovation mode!
FINALLY!!! So we do it one room at a time (by we I mean my sweetheart The Man) empty the furniture then DEMO! My kids LOVED it.

The boys went to town and had the living room base boards and carpet out of the house in about an hour. Unfortunately my office has been the dump sight for all the furniture, books and toys that have been temporarily relocated, I just found my computer again a couple days ago.

BEFORE








Ready for the cutest thing ever? He wore the tool belt to be cool like his grandpa, who gave it to him. What was in it you ask? Tools? NAH...Band aids, in case he cut himself.


My boys ROCKED IT!!!

AFTER



We still have 4 rooms left to do, 7 walls to paint and baseboards to put in trough out the house, BUT we started So that's something....right?

Hey I am stocking your blog through Rhonda's. I love the new floor can your crew do mine? I was cracking up.... I didn't know there were starving rabbits in Ethiopa?? I will have to use that one next time. The starving kids bit isn't working so well for me!! Maybe my kids will feel worst about animals.

Or should I say for me!! Now Lily is in preschool three half days a week! What will I do with myself!!??
