Are we in the right house?

Things look a lot better in our kitchen. Is it really even the same room? We really like our new floor and it only took 6 people 9 hours to install it. Mark only cut himself three times I think. Overall a successful adventure. Thanks so much to Sandy, Andy, Mom, and Dad.

Pretty Color!

We've been busy stripping wallpaper and painting. We decided to have a "fun" summer project and that included getting rid of the wallpaper in the kitchen and start painting bedrooms. Surprisingly, we didn't start with the pink room.

Back to the sauna

So we enjoyed a nice weekend in Estes Park and the cool weather there. Once we returned to Kansas it seemed we brought the cool weather with us, but knowing Kansas, it won't stay long! We had a great time visiting family and meetin our new niece, Mary.

4 and counting!

Only 4 days left of school Five is you count inservice, but I never do! If I can unbury myself I might make a quick getaway. Really though I have no place to getaway to. At least until baseball is over!!

Dirty Jobs

So we have been moving a lot of dirt and trying to get our basement put back together. Here are some fun pics of all the work!

The end is in sight....or is it?

I always forget how exhausting the end of the year is, but this year has to be even more exhausting. Between baseball, and cleaning up a flooded basement, things are ultra crazy! Yes, i did say flooded basement. Joy of our week! We ended up getting 4.5 inches of rain last Sunday and Tuesday we had a LITTLE water in our basement. By Tuesday night, we had an all out flood. No towels were enough to stop it and there was no shop vac quick enough to vacuum it all up. By the time we put a towel down, 10 minutes later, the water had rolled past it and taken over the basement. Finally, yesterday (Monday) the water is almost dry. Only a 1 week flood, feeling pretty good about our purchase! At least school is almost over!!!!
