pardon the mess and a winner...

Here's what we've been up to this week...



We had some water damage on the wood floors in the kitchen and back guest bathroom that are being repaired. The wood is still raw and being sanded and scraped today and then we pick out a stain- I think we're going dark!

Since we already had the wood floor guys here we decided to turn the carpeted formal dining into wood floors also... we have officially outgrown the little kitchen dinette area with Eden at the table.

And we didn't want milk spilled into the carpet.

Cuz with 4 kids there is bound to be spilled milk once or 122 times.

And milk + carpet = yucky smell.

Hence the need for wood floors in there...



We also pulled out the sink and toilet out of the back bathroom and the half-peeled (thanks to the kids) hideous wallpaper is coming down...



Hard to believe that wallpaper was ever "in".

Also hard to believe we have lived here for 3 years and it still looked like that!

So I picked out a new sink (a cute pedestal from Lowe's for $44!) and a new paint color (cuz alllll of that wall paper is coming DOWN) and Ryan picked out a toilet (he gets the exciting jobs).

I will show pics when it's all finished!


After all of those ugly pics I will leave you with a cute one, Eden got her first pedi...



And a winner...and would you believe that the random number generator picked the oh so sweet anonymous poster as the winner of the "heart and stone"??? who said:
