Busy Weekend






Before Edward and the house, weekends were something to look forward to. Don't get me wrong, they are still wonderful . We just can't sleep in on Saturdays and there is always a BIG project looming.
Nevertheless, Friday night was a lot of fun. We went to an Iowa Cubs game in Des Moines. My Dad had a bunch of tickets thanks to Farm Bureau. Thus, some of our friends and family got to enjoy a beautiful night of baseball. Edward and his little friend Myra really enjoyed their first game... except when the crowds would roar. They would both jump, look really frightened, and cry loudly. It was rather cute and funny at the same time. Poor things.
Saturday started out early as normal due to little Edward and his restless night and morning. I wonder if the loud noises from the game and fireworks gave him bad dreams. Anyways, we then began the long and tedious project of laying our wood flooring. Many thanks for all the hard work Brian, Josh, my brother Daniel, and Dad. We couldn't have done it without you all. Despite all the great help, we still have a long way to go. We hope to finish it all next weekend, or the next. The flooring and paint have already made a huge difference. Here are just a few pictures from the weekend.

We got our paint colors from Lowes Eddie Bauer collection. The dining room is called Fig and the living room was a special mix that we came up with based off of the Fig.

Leaf blowers work great for cleaning dust/pet hair off of wood floors. However, don't use the "high" setting or pictures may come crashing off the wall. I learned that lesson the hard way.
