So here, at last, is the long awaited picture of the finished floor. Now tell me, isn\u2019t that totally awesome?!?! And it only took a month. We have just finished moving everything back into place and are still adjusting to the slipping and sliding now that we have lost carpet traction. The animals, in particular, are still confused and spend a lot of time sliding into walls and furniture. Very amusing.<\/p>\n
Last night I forced Kevin to carve pumpkins. For those of you who don\u2019t know, Kevin is a class \u201cA\u201d grouch. He is the ultimate Bah Humbug person. You have to practically drag him, kicking and screaming, into most projects but once you get him started, it\u2019s like a kid in a candy store.<\/p>\n
When I announced we were carving pumpkins, the mumbling began. \u201cI don\u2019t wanna carve any stupid pumpkins. I worked all day, why do I have to do it? This is stupid. Grrrrr.\u201d So I sent him on a walk with Artie and proceed to gut the pumpkins and get all those yummy seeds out. When Kevin returned, I sat him down at the table with a knife and a big pumpkin. Guess what? After five minutes he was laughing like a kid. I think he had forgotten how much fun carving a pumpkin can be. It got even better when I suggested he use his Dremmle to cut out his design. Power tools! Now that set his eyes glowing.<\/p>\n
So here are the results. Mine are the three baby pumpkins and Kevin\u2019s is the big scary one. Not too bad, eh?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
