We have finally started the process of replacing the floors in our entire downstairs. The process of nailing each piece into the floor is very tedious! Ross is doing a great job, and I must say I have done all the cutting!! We chose a very hard bamboo that should hold up great with all the kids! Here are some before and afters...... there will be more to come when the kitchen cabinets get here.
BEFORE
AFTER!
A good friend of mine invited my girls and I to hang out with them for a night.... We suprised all the kids and met at her house. I told my kids we were just going to play..... Then, someone knocked on the door and it was the limo driver.... not just any limo, but a HUMMER to take us to see the Disney channel's Jonas Brothers. It was a chance of a lifetime. 
So, unlike all of my midwestern friends and family, we love getting snow here. The difference ??? Well, its still 30 degrees here when it snows, so it isnt so cold that you cant even go outside. We played outside for hours! Another difference here is that if we get any even centimeter of snow, EVERYTHING CLOSES! Schools, jobs, everything. Ok- so not starbucks- we wouldnt want a total catastophe!!
