We got new carpet on Monday. Ughh!! We have been putting it off for a very long time - the old carpet had defnitely had better days - but we got the most out of it - 16 years in fact - and now it's gone!
It looks great - the house looks like it got a face lift - and it smells new! It also made us clean the house more than it's been cleaned for a very long time.
The easiest room - the Master Bedroom. Not much clutter. We have decided it's time to upgrade to a King size bed - so just to make sure we do it - we didn't set up the bed - yes we are sleeping on our box springs and mattress on the floor!
Parker's room - was cluttered in a Parker sort of way - and was very dusty! There were shoes under his bed from when he was probably 10 but the funniest was his 72 hour emergency bag! I'm glad we haven't had an emergency - but if we did - he could provide the entertainment. His pants were now "man capris" and the shirt was a midriff - and the underwear, well let's just say he could sing soprano!
Meranda's room - well - let's just say she utilized every bit of space in her room! We packed away her softball life - Bonnet Ball with the Pink Bubblegummers when she was five - her All-Star Uniforms from Bonnett Ball - some of her Accellerated uniforms - the Venom (spiders on the uniform) - the Starzz (her least favorite team) - the Extreme and her beloved Renegades! Then came the Hunter Wolverines - the SLCC Bruins and the USU Aggies! The craziest thing she had saved - swim suits!!! We counted 36 still in her room - figured she had probably already thrown away at least 15-20 more! Thats close to $2,000 in swim suits!!!!!
Family room and living room wern't too bad - just HEAVY - hired piano movers - and went without TV for a whole day!
Glad we have the carpet - glad the house is getting back to normal! Oh - and the D.I. is well stocked!
