We were so excited for Matt to be done with school so we could finally take it easy at night. Ha Ha! At least now I'm the one that keeps him busy! As I write...it is 10:30 pm and he is in the garage painting bed room doors. After we found out we were having a boy, we decided to paint the boys room and get it resituated to add another one in there. If only it were that simple (and inexpensive). With only one room and three boys we had to be somewhat creative. We decided to get new bunk beds and a bigger dresser, but you don't want new furniture with old carpet and paint. So we ended up painting their room and our room. Now we have new carpet for all three bedrooms coming on Wed. which means we have to rip out all our old carpet and get Alli's room painted before they come. Yes...Alli is feeling a little left out, so we've got to change her room around a little too. But once we have that part of the house looking nice we will have to continue on...and on...and on. It's never ending!!!! I have to say, it was fun to paint and not cover the carpet though. And our hope is that when all is said and done our house will look better and we won't have to cringe everytime we have to lay the baby down on the floor. At least until one of the kids throws up on the new carpet! :)

Congrats on the improvements! It's nice to give the guys something to work on. ")
My house needs improvements everyday. That's what happens when you buy a 110 year old house. Hope it all works out nicely. We'll have to come visit and break in the carpet.
I'm glad you have opportunity to enjoy your home repairs. We're having to fix things on out house, but not enjoy them.
Cari - it's Misty from HS. I found your blog on Ash's and thought I would be a nerd and say "hi". I hope everything is going well. http://toddandmisty.blogspot.com/
Congrats on the upgrades! It will all be worth it in the end. There's nothing quite like new carpet, especially with a new little one on the way!! Hope it all goes as planned.
