OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW!

WELL, WE FINALLY DID IT. THAT IS RIPPED OUT THE BERBER CARPETS AND PUT IN HARD WOOD FLOORING. WE ARE TOTALLY AMAZED AT HOW IT ALL LOOKS. THANKS TO STAS, WHO DID A WONDERFUL JOB, WE HAVE AN ENTIRE NEW HOME. WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT AND THE KIDS LOVE IT TOO. SAMARA AND CONNOR ARE SLIDING ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT WAS DEFINITELY A TOUGH AND LONG WEEKEND. NOW WE GOT A TASTE OF WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN WE MOVE IN THREE YEARS. THE KIDS AND I HAD A NICE WEEKEND AT POP-POPS HOUSE. WE BUNDLED UP SINCE IT IS CHILLY OVER THERE AND HAD A GREAT TIME EATING LOTS OF JUNK AND HANGING OUT. SURPRISINGLY, THE KIDS ACTUALLY WERE PRETTY GOOD, BUT WE WERE ALL READY TO BE BACK HOME TODAY. WE CAN'T WAIT FOR YOU ALL TO SEE OUR NEW FLOORS. IT IS SO CLEAN IN HERE AND WE DECIDED TO LEAVE MOST OF THE TOYS UP IN THE LOFT AS A MAKE SHIFT PLAYROOM.

CONNOR AND DON DID A GOOD JOB TEARING APART THE CARPETS. IT WAS ACTUALLY A FUN NIGHT AND CONNOR WANTED TO BE A PART OF IT. ALTHOUGH, I WAS A BIT STRESSED OVER THE WHOLE THING AND DON DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BE AWAY FROM HIS FOOTBALL. WE ALL PERSEVERED AND THE JOB IS COMPLETE, JUST A FEW LITTLE THINGS TO FINISH NAILING DOWN. CONNOR KEPT RUNNING AROUND SAYING SOMEONE IS STEALING OUR FLOORS, MOMMY. IT WAS FUNNY. HE ALSO LOVES STAS, AND WAKES UP "SAYING WHERE STAS GO"
