This was the flooring weekend.
The one I have been dreading because I didn't have enough faith in my husband.
I thought, NO WAY could we do this by ourselves.
Guess what?
WE DID!
Of course, it took us moving all the furniture out on Thursday night, BT taking off work on Friday to remove the carpet, padding, and all tacks and nails, and us cleaning the floor and laying the vapor barrier Friday night so we could start first thing Saturday morning....
Then it took working from 9am until 10pm nonstop Saturday, followed by finishing touches, molding, etc. on Sunday morning from 8am until 1pm, but we got it done.
We got to use a miter saw, a jigsaw, a nail gun (with a pretty cool air compressor), levels, hammers, and more.
In other words: my husband's dream :-)

I am so glad we did this. And even better, that we didn't kill each other in the process!
Thank you, GRAMPS, for keeping Thomas all weekend! I think they had a blast together: feeding the ducks, going to the zoo, and the children's museum!
We met BT's dad to pick up Thomas in Clanton yesterday and fit in the Pumpkin Patch, which if you haven't been to one,
THIS is definitely a great one to go to.
Thomas LOVED all the people, the pumpkins, and especially the helicopter. We had a fantastic time. Nothing like a little indian summer, too. It was a beautiful day, and even a little hot!

On that note, this momma's gonna be a bit sappy this week, I think, as my baby boy turns TWO on Friday!
I can't believe it.
