August 29: Fun times

Mame bought this go go girl costume after halloween one year. Haley loves it...I think because she looks like a disco ball. She had to have her picture made!
My boy Austin is a strong little boy. He can now hold himself up while standing. He can do it for about 3 minutes and then his legs get tired and he looses balance.

Currently we are in the process of ripping out all of the carpet in our house!!!!Yeah!!!! If you have seen our carpet lately you will know why , it was gross. In place of the carpet we are putting in handscraped handwood floors. They are reeally pretty but it is quite a process. They rip out the carpet then they nail plywood to the foundation, then they nail each individual wooden slat to the plywood. After they have done that to all 7 rooms (4 bedrooms, dining room, gameroom, and living room) then they will sand it, scrap it up, sand it agian, stain it, and then cover it with a poly finish. So like I said it is quite a process and of course while this process is going on we have to be out of our house. Luckily for us we have someone to stay with. Unlucy for my parents we are staying with them. hopefully we will be home soon! Below is a picture of our bedroom. It is before being sanded, scraped, sanded agian, and stained! It is just raw wood!
