We did it!!!

It's done, can you beleive it. 300 sq feet in 2 days. Thank goodness my dad, Uncle Larry, and Uncle Mike came to help on Saturday or we never would have finished. When we were buying the stuff at Home Depot, Waylon put 26 boxes on the cart, (that was how many we figured that we needed at 11.6 sq feet per box), and I added one more to my cart just to be safe. Well, I am taking back that one box today! They finished the laundry room with the last piece of the 26th box, thank goodness. Here are the pics!

Well, this past weekend we actually stayed home….the whole time. I am 99% sure that this is the first weekend since Kenzie has been born that we have not gone ANYWHERE. We needed it too. The upper part of our lawn in finally green and it needed mowed, the weeds in our little jungle needed to be pulled, and our shrubs badly needed to be trimmed. We got all that done before 9 o’clock on Saturday morning, thank goodness too, ‘cause it was a scorcher. Then we took a little trip to HD (home depot) and got tons of stuff. I am still so excited about this I can barely stand it. I’ll start from the beginning. Ever since we moved into our house (almost 2 years ago now), we have need new flooring in the, well in the whole thing. We got new carpet in the living room soon after we moved in, but the rest has been put off. The linoleum in the kitchen, entryway, laundry room and two bathrooms was just nasty. I probably spent over a month of my life trying to clean that darn floor, but no matter how much time I spent on it, it still looked bad. So, we bought some hardwood laminate for the kitchen, laundry room, entryway, 1 bathroom, and hallway and then we got tile laminate for the other bathroom. We started this project with the first bathroom and actually got it completed before the weekend was over. The only issue we had was getting the toilet back in, the screws kept screwing wrong (I guess) so we went through 3 toilet wax rings, but all is good now. Next weekend we will do the rest of the house, with my dad to help. Kenzie has been good, she rolls onto her stomach every time I try to change her diaper, so that is a challenge but it makes me laugh every time. She is also into baseball, at least it seems that way, she likes to watch it when it comes on TV.

Not much going on with us this week, on Wednesday I decided that I would tackle the task of organizing my scrapbooking stuff. It was a mess from taking it camping, to mom and dads, etc, plus whenever I have something that I want to scrapbook I just throw it in a pile. Well since Kenzie was born that pile has become a little overwhelming and it needed some serious help. So, I got it all out about 9 o’clock (in the morning). It literally took me until 5:30 (in the evening) to organize it all. Now, I just need to make the time to use all of my stuff. (And for those of you who care, I finally FINALLY, got my own circut, I have yet to use it, but someday soon I hope.)

Last night we went to Waylon’s first softball game of the year, we were a little late since he is working in Moscow and doesn’t get home until about 6:30. We got there and his team was out on the field, he ran out there and the first ball hit came to him. He tried to dive for it, and his shoe came off, (and he missed the ball). It may not seem quite so funny in words, but if I had a video you all would be cracking up.

This weekend we are going to a wedding of one of my classmates so I hope to see everyone from school. It should be a good time.
