I LOVE IT!!

Today I got my birthday present and I couldn't be happier. On my birthday the carpet guy came out to give us a quote and measure for new carpet on the main level and today the guys came out to put it down and it looks awesome! It looks so good it makes everything else look bad :) I think we'll have someone come back and do the stairs so at least everything you see when you walk in the front door looks clean and new. The upstairs isn't so bad and the downstairs was new when we bought the house so we can leave those things alone but something's gotta be done about the stairs...

Anyway, I tried to take some pictures of the carpet before the kids toys once again fill the dining room and living room (at least they'll now be crawling on clean floors!!)

The living room - isn't it pretty? New curtains too - Kirk hung those on my birthday. I made the house nicer for my birthday - I'm so excited!! I've been celebrating for a month...



The dining room - had to make a minor change as to where the changing table was - the girls were standing up and trying to pull everything off the shelf that is now above the buffet.



Trying to get a close-up of the carpet - this isn't about the toy (although they do love this toy)...



The family room - now the couch looks bad but no, I'm not getting a new couch - I'll just have to find some ultra strength upholstery cleaner - any suggestions?



The office - Kirk is finally getting a new computer so we've moved things a bit to accomodate the new and the old. The kids are very excited - Kirk is too - I think their excitement level is a tie. Kaitlyn and Caleb will be using Kirk's old computer when the new one arrives - Kirk wanted me to explain why they were excited :)
