Step 1 was to move all the junk out and rip up the carpet. Step 2 was prying off the baseboards and painting the walls and ceiling.
Next, came the plastic wood floor, and cabinets! I included this picture of Dad in his cover-alls especially for you Spencer! I'm sure by now you miss them.
Also, Spencer, as you can see, Mom and Dad did pretty well in picking out the color. I don't know if you can remember colors from the shop, but they chose one called "Kevin's Brew w/ black glaze". Jesse had the time of his life staining and installing these. But he had a lot of help from all the brothers: Special thanks to Ben (master painter), Alan (logistical manager), Dave (wood floor specialist)... and Annie (a very petite helper), Amanda, and Sara (the baby-watchers).
Now, on to other things! Halloween was the cutest one in memory, with Cooper as a purple dragon, Jesse as a prince, and I being the damsel in distress princess.
All Cooper's cousins dressed up as well and brought knew definitions to the names of lion, fairy, ballerina, and skeleton. From left to right: Cash, Maddie, Elyza, Cohen, and Cooper. Happy Halloween everyone!

Oh my goodness, look at all those adorable little kids! I can't stand it! So who do they all belong to? Maddie to Annie, Cash to Ben, Cooper to you, who does everyone else belong to? They are all so cute!!! Also, you need to post pictures of the three of you on Halloween! That would be so cute!!! And Cooper is the handsomest purple dragon I have ever seen!
