Home Improvement

We finally made a home improvement I have been wanting to make for about at year now, this past December.  We did lots of research on new flooring that we decided that we needed in our hallway and bedrooms.  We made a final decision, new carpet in the kids bedroom and wood floors for the hall way.  The installation process would be tricky because we couldn't walk on the floors after they were installed for 24 hours.  So we decided instead of fighting with 3 kids to stay off the floors in the hallway to their own bedrooms we'd go on a "stay-cation"  we got a hotel in town, took the kiddos to a restaurant and went swimming in the pool.  They thought they had won the lottery, especially because it was the middle of the week when this all went down. 


The men at dinner......can hardly contain themselves.

 

We went swimming when we finished dinner and snoozed off to dream world that night happy as a lark.  The next morning breakfast was also fun because our boys found "sugar" cereal in the free buffet and were stoked that they could have all they wanted.  Its vacation right? 
Another thing Garrett was so totally happy to do is jump on the beds.  We always tell them no jumping on the bed, but at hotels I don't care.  So this is what he did all morning long before school.

 Happy camper, and ready to go to school.  I was ready to get back to the new floors.

Before: trust me you could see where we had walked this picture does NOT do it justice.

 

After:

I love it, new floors make us feel like we have a new home.  What a fun present to ourselves!
