Projects

We've been pretty busy around here this week. I'm not sure if you can call it nesting because it hasn't so much involved spring cleaning as it has major projects that we probably shouldn't have attempted 3 weeks before bringing another child into this house.  Oh well.  We'll learn someday.

Doug had a vision of a rock path in our side yard.  He worked really hard on it and I like how it turned out.  The grass we had here never grew anyway because it gets really hot in this area.  We still need to add a few more shrubs/plants and some mulch on top of the beds but I really like it so far.  I think it will look even better after everything fills in in about 5 years!

We also got new carpet this week (finally!)  Look at the old stuff.  Gross!  I love the lovely black track down the side too. Not sure where that came from.

 Our kids were nice and patient with us while our house was torn apart for a little bit.  Here's what our kitchen looked like

 And Mabel's room.  Sorry Mabes!

 They even had to eat breakfast out in the living room before the new carpet came.

 And here it is after!  They love it!  I did not love that I had to fill it back up with furniture and everything but fortunately it went pretty quickly.

 Here's everything all put back together.  I love it!  It's seriously amazing what a difference new carpet makes.  It feels so much cozier and we all love it!

This isn't really a project as much as it is a fun thing.  It has the word project in it though so that counts right?  Doug broke down and brought a projector.  He has wanted one for FOREVER and finally found a good deal on the one he wanted.  So far we've really loved it but are going to try really hard to not abuse the novelty factor!

 This room is a little displaced too.  Another project for this week!
