Winter Days

My theory is: If it's cold it might as well be snowing or raining. Well apparently mother nature does not listen to me. I am just tolerating winter right now. The boys are ready to go outside and play. Lately we have been going to the park. The boys could play forever. I last about 45 minutes before i freeze. Other then that we have just been hanging out. Lincoln is obsessed with watching our neighbor's cats through the window. Bentley is learning lots in preschool and started swimming lessons. Chad started a new job with Rio Tinto. He has to wear a hard hat, steel toe shoes, safety goggles and he got fitted for a respirator. I swear he is just doing engineering stuff. I keep asking him if I should be worried. Me, well i'm just doing the same old stuff. We are all great and can't wait for spring. (I know we still have awhile)

Home Sweet Home

So i know many of you have been asking for me to post pictures of my house. Well here you go. I must say it is a work in progress. There is plenty we still need to do, more decorating to be done. But for now we are loving it. The blog entry below has the before pictures. I know it would be great to have them by each other but they were on different computers and it got confusing. Anyways, enjoy.

The kitchen, we are still missing some cabinet doors that are being built.

The family room, i must say i really like having hard wood floors. I don't like that my boys scratch them.

The entry and stairs to basement

Master bedroom, still not sure how to decorate this room

The master bath, instead of towel racks we did hooks and i love them. I never have to fold a towel again.

Bentley's room

Lincoln's room

The basement, sorry this picture is kind of dark i should have turned on the lights. Pretty much this is just the boys play room. There is also a bathroom and 2 bedrooms down stairs that are empty so i didn't take pictures of them.

The Good the Bad and the UGLY!!

So this is what the lovely house looked like before we started. This is the basement. i just wasn't feeling the purple carpet.

Our master bedroom. The carpet is super clean huh!

Lincoln's room, I'm pretty sure they let their kids paint and color the carpet.

The kitchen, the hard wood floors were trashed to say the least.
