We're not a construction zone anymore! But we still feel like we haven't moved in yet, because I need to touch up all the baseboards before we move furniture back inside. It's a process :)
They finished the floors on Tuesday, plumbing hooked back up Wednesday, and stairs finished on Thursday. Feeling grateful to have our home feel a little more calm again! The boys are disappointed the new floor isn't "as slippery for chasing" and I guess I did not factor that into my decision making. But other than that we're super happy and grateful to have this done!
This week was Spring Break and you wouldn't have really known that around here... with Hawaii last month and our eclipse trip to Indy next month, we are lying low through Spring Break and just hoped for a quiet week of double call for Michael. Which luckily we had! The boys said, "We're not going to get new floors next Spring Break, are we?" So they were happy to hear that they're not getting new floors around here ever again :) Haha hopefully next year is less construction and more spring break-ness.
We did go to the Children's Museum in Denver for the first time though and the boys had a total blast! Asher and Camden loved the firetruck room and the bubbles, Bennett loved the ball area with the different paths you can manipulate, Westin loved sculpting with clay, everyone loved the cooking class and just being there with the Baileys.
We went swimming with the Whitneys on Saturday and when the boys got home they were intent on making a leprechaun trap. They woke up to snatched gold (yellow paper they left) and a fruity rainbow and yummy treats. Bennett was so set on catching one, cute guy.We had corned beef has for lunch and green eggs and ham for dinner which ended up feeling like 3 breakfasts and it's fine. :)

Found this little square of wallpaper behind our old baseboards,
and I love seeing past stories from my house. |
 |
| This kid wanted me to hug him for probably a full 20 minutes one morning this week and it was the best. |
 |
All boys home from school this week and lots of flooring construction still happening...
we used Grandma and Grandpa's very kind Christmas Chick-Fil-A gift card to help with being out of the house a lot! |
 |
| Park picnics for dinner as well. |
 |
| Floors in the laundry room! |
 |
| Beadboard still going up... |
 |
| We needed a perfect circle in this template to cut in the beadboard so Michael used his actual geometry tools and I couldn't stop laughing. |
 |
| Can't argue with the results though haha. |
 |
| First coat of green going up! |
 |
| Boys are in a lego phase again, this time all four of them. So cute. |
 |
| Second coat happening! |
 |
This is why you never freak out after the first coat.
Look at the difference in the second!
Also realized I never painted this door even though all the others in my house got a nice couple coats of grey paint haha. This corner just really got neglected after painting everywhere else. |
 |
| Basement is still chaos while lots of things are down there! |
 |
| New banister is up! I miss the runner but these fresh stairs sure are feeling nice. |
 |
This little pantry (Former coat closet) used to be its very own carpet that was no where else in the house.
I love seeing everything flow now. |
 |
| Pie day! Quiche for dinner. |
 |
| First time to the Denver Children's Museum! We had so much fun with the Bailey fam. |
 |
| The little cooking class there was super cute. |
 |
He loved cutting an avocado so much.
Eating it, not the same story. |
 |
| Successful day :) |
 |
| That sneaky leprechaun! |
 |
He made this face the whole time he ate this powdered donut.
Made me laugh remembering Bennett loving on a Mickey beignet from sweet Emily.
|
 |
This looks disgusting.
Corned Beef Hash for St. Patrick's Day and I don't know that I'm up for this to be a tradition haha.
The boys liked it though! No one is surprised by this. |
