Getting ready for new carpet

Today we got the kids rooms and playroom ready for the carpet installation. We had to take everything off the floor, which meant taking the girls bunk bed and crib apart (so Molly is moving to the lower bunk bed). When I was putting their mattresses on the floor they all thought it was so fun and were excited to sleep on the floor that night. Well, Graham asked if he could bring his mattress in also and sleep next to the girls. He doesn't have school tomorrow so I said yes. Wow, I have never seen my kids be so excited to go to sleep! They actually asked if they could take a nap:) They never actually went to sleep but I didn't mind since that meant they would be more tired at night and go to sleep better.

Here they are getting ready to "nap" (Graham always does something silly in pictures lately). The three mattresses took up almost the whole room:)



Tonight they did great going to sleep. They, of course, talked for a short time but then they all went to sleep and there were no problems - yeah!

Getting the carpet installed has been a bit of a pain moving all the furniture, but it looks so great. Here is the difference:


We went from berber (the light color) to friese (darker one). Just an FYI, if you ever move into a house and don't like the carpet, figure out a way to change it before you move in. It will be so much easier!

Not yet

We were supposed to have new carpet put in downstairs and in our bedroom on Tuesday. Well when the installers went to pick it up, they didn’t have the padding?! Marty and I had gotten these rooms completely ready for install, which meant that we had moved everything out of these rooms. Since our living room was empty Abbie, Molly and I had a picnic lunch on the floor.

(Marty put the chair and table in the room so we could have a place to sit.)

Then Marty suggested we set up our tent inside for the kids to play in. They all had a blast eating dinner in the tent and playing.

The installers were able to put the carpet in Wednesday and it looks amazing! I will post some pictures later. We got rid of our ugly berber and now have friese (a type of shag). It is a drastic difference!
