I'm writing this for yesterday (sorry)... I didn't get to bed until 11:30 and I wasn't going to try to blog about the day!!

Yesterday we completely redid the livingroom floor! Matt came over and he and Steve got to work at 8:30/9:00. I made breakfast (ham and cheese hashbrown casserole) and then took Gus upstairs to play for the morning. It was rough being secluded to the upstairs, but it wasn't horrible.

Here are two pictures taken at 8:04 am:

So... as you can see it was a VERY busy day!!! I'm so thankful for Matt for coming over and helping Steve with this. There's no way he could have or would have done it alone, and they worked so well together and were very patient with one another!!!
