Progress

This is what our basement currently looks like. It's getting close to being done! Paint and carpet should be finished within a week. The built in cabinets won't be done until the end of Jan., but that's okay because the toy closet will be finished and all the toys can go back downstairs!

In the meantime this is what I have been living with most days. Dust and little footprints everywhere, random people in and out of the house all day, not being able to leave because of all the guys coming and going, people saying they'll show up then not coming while I wait around for them (contractors can be annoying!). But it's almost done and I'm so excited!

Some days I do miss my privacy! Last week Isaac had a severe blow out and so I was trying to hoist this smelly, heavy naked child with poop all over him up to the kids bathtub. As I climbed the two concrete stairs in the above picture one of the guys working on the basement had just come up the stairs. The poor guy took one look at the situation and all he could say was, "Oooh"! My response, "One of the joys of Motherhood"!
