A New House

or at least it seems like it! On Thursday we moved everything into the garage, as well as stuffing the upstairs bathrooms with a few things. Then we pulled up the carpet and padding and spent a few hours taking out all the staples in the floor. The stairs were a big pain. We were very lucky to have the help of friends. Friday morning I got to come over to our house while my sweet friend watched my kiddos and I watched them install the new carpet. It was pretty amazing how quickly it all went down. We got a nice new waterproof pad (and I was loving the red color!) and then beautiful soft brown carpet. It is liking walking on clouds at our house right now! Here are some photos. I'll take a few more "after" shots when we get everything put back in it's place. I had finally gotten the office organized and now I get to do it all over again. :D Lucky me!






Isaac and I played on the carpet for a long time before I really got to work pulling in some boxes. He was just laughing and laying on it and giggling. He was so cute and happy to just be playing with me and nothing else!

Isaac's room also got a paint job last week, thanks to my friend Karissa for motivating and helping me. I just love the white trim and the bright green. See the difference? The green matches the letters in his name perfectly!


Oh yeah, and here is Lily's reaction to the new carpet!
