BIG DAY

So today is the big day... Tim knows a guy :), and he is coming to install our laminate flooring in Katy's and Brock and Christian's bedroom.  Two weeks ago I decided to buy Katy a new bed from Room to Go Kids.  We bought our living room furniture there a couple years ago, and I just paid it off. 

As you may hear me rant on twitter, Katy is extremely messy, and under her bed was the worse.  We spent about 6 hours cleaning out her room.  She also kept the kittens in there, and it was getting a funky smell.  The cats have been kicked outside as of last Friday!  Woohoo! 

After buying her bed, I looked and found nice beds for the boys as well.  They have had bunk beds, but since they are 12 and 13 now, neither wants to sleep on the top bunk.  Well, I decided to go ahead and buy theirs as well.

THEN, back in June we refinanced our house, and are going to do an addition.  We were supposed to get back our escrow money from our previous mortgage financer.  We expected a certain dollar amount but instead got triple that money back.  Tim and I talked and we decided to play with the money, and take the kids to Atlanta for a couple days and then pull up the nasty carpet in their rooms, put down laminate flooring and paint! 

Our very good friend Darrell Smith(who was so instrumental in Tim and I getting together) came Friday while we were gone and painted their rooms.  Katy's room is Paris-themed, with black, white and Pink.  So, I had her room painted a pretty shade of gray-Pebble Gray.  We went a little darker in the boys room, and it called Seal Gray.  I posted a pic of the boy's room.

We got back into town Friday night, and pulled the carpet and padding out of the boy's room.  Then Saturday afternoon, we pulled up Katy's carpet and padding, and all the staples and tack strips in both rooms! Exhausting work! 

So now, the flooring gets put down today!!! 

I will be so glad...All the stuff from their two rooms is in my den, kitchen and living room.  Our house is chaos.  The boys cannot get to their dressers, and Katy's dresser drawers are spread out!  Ahhh! But anyways, it ends today hopefully! I hope to start putting everything back in there very soon. The beds come on Thursday, so we are close.
