This That and the Other

This probably won't come as a huge shock to everyone ....

we've been doing some work on the basement.

So now standing at the top of the stairs looks a lot different.

We painted the existing paneling. Replaced the carpet and the baseboards.
Installed laminate on the landing.

Look what made it downstairs ... the wii and our t.v.

Where there was once a 5th bedroom(?) there is now more play space and toy storage.
And we have learned that my hubby is a master drywaller.

There was a 1st experience this Saturday.
First 'friend sleep over at our house'.

They all bunked in one room and we moved a t.v. in there so they could watch a pre-sleep movie.

But they didn't forget their dear mom.
They were up this morning to give me hugs and cuddles and a card.
And my sweey hubby was up with my french toast breakfast in bed!
I can't even believe sometimes that I am the lucky parent that gets to spend time with these kids. And thanks to my husband who makes it possible for me to 'be a mom' as my profession.
