The weekend we stayed home (a synopsis)
The finished product
think the Mariners lost (again).
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.
