We had big plans for Wednesday of Spring Break. It was supposed to be the day of our super, spectacular cousin sleep over. Jason and I had been talking a lot about replacing the carpet in the girls' bedroom. We thought we had plenty of time to install a floating floor before our guests were due to arrive. At about 4 p.m., this is how our house looked. Everything from the girls' room was in the dining room and we were still scraping up the carpet padding.
There was an abundant amount of glue used under the carpet padding. It was a mess! At one point, Jason and Payton were using a shovel to try to scrape carpet padding off of the sub floor. Since it's Spring Break and we have plenty of other days to choose from, we decided to reschedule our sleepover. In spite of the cancellation, we still had a lot of cousin fun. Jason stayed home to work on the floor. I loaded up a car full of kids and headed to Sonic for corn dogs and root beer. Then, we went to church. Payton, Sarah, and Jessi had so much fun giggling and talking the entire time. These girls have been separated by oceans and different states, but you would have never have guessed that from last night.
Big church wraps up a few minutes before the kids' program. I had the chance to watch the kids play. They were running relay races and having a blast!
The kiddos were all running so fast! The look on the big girls' faces cracks me up!
After church, we dropped everyone off and came home to see that Jason just about had the floor done. It looked great! I have a few final touches to put on the girls' room, but I think it's just about complete.
We have lots of fun and plans for the next few days. We're also keeping a super big secret from the kiddos about something that will happen this Sunday. I can't wait to see the looks on their faces. =)
The floor looks great!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! We did this not long ago, and ran in to lots of different issues. Our living room is done now to move on to the next room.
ReplyDeleteThe floor looks awesome! I'm amazed you got it done so quickly despite needing a shovel for an interior house project. Craziness.
ReplyDeleteWhat a big project, but it looks like it was well worth it! I can't wait to see all the work you've put into the girls' room. I am just trying to get my little guys' nursery set up, and it is killing me that he is over a month old, and it still isn't finished. That is the one think I have always loved doing before my babies are born, and I couldn't do it this time with the move. Sigh. I will get it done though!
