Bu-Bye Blue

Boy I tell you what, saying good-bye to my blue carpet was like finally being able to pop a big ol' zit! Don't act like you don't understand what I'm saying! Just keeping it real!

The day we bought this house I said to Sam "That blue carpet will be the first thing to go!" 8+ years later I finally got rid of it!

In the past 3 days we have moved every single thing from our main floor into another room. It seriously feels like we just moved into this house. Lots of LATE nights, total exhaustion, but yet I couldn't be happier with how things have turned out!

Carpet removal:



I think the late nights have made Sam a bit loopy. I just found these pictures on the memory card. I bet these pictures were taken around 1am.



Saturday morning the carpet installer arrived right at 8am. The timing was great because our friends, Nathan and Ambyr, wanted to use our yard for a yard sale. We hung out all morning in the front yard with them, while the installer took control of our house. Carson sold Gatorade for $.75 a bottle and at the end of the day he made $20! He was an awesome salesman. Every person who slowed down as they were driving, he would start enticing them over for a nice, cool beverage.



As soon as the yard sale ended, the carpet guy left. Perfect timing! We enjoyed the new carpet for about 4.5 minutes, and then we started moving back in. So exhausting!


I seriously love, love, love all the new flooring!


I should clarify my railing issue that some people commented on in my last post. We do have a railing so that ledge will be safe. It's just on the list of things to do. :)

Tonight we sat on the front steps and watched an awesome lightning/thunder storm. The three blue eyed musketeers loved it!


My kids are out of school after this coming week. I'm pretty dang excited about it. The best part? No more Kindergarten-half-day-schedule lameness. Very liberating! I'm wiped out. G-night.
