House project updates

We got our new flooring installed at the very end of October and are loooooooving it. Seriously. Evoke luxury vinyl flooring is amazing. We are so pleased with the results. 

It is so so nice to have all of the main floor except the bathroom the same. We eliminated 3 of the 4 different floor types and now just have 2. We are still deciding what to do about baseboards and other things, but the cabinet knobs and drawer pulls are up in the kitchen. 

All in all, even though we still have quite the list of things to get done, we're very happy to have things mostly put back together. And because this was mostly boring and for our own record, I'll include the cutest picture of our sleeping boy. 

Halloween

When my mom was in town to help out with the kitchen cabinets, she lovingly agreed to help me with Dean's costume. We love Duck Dynasty in our house. So we found a beard beanie tutorial and figured out how to add on longer yarn pieces to make the beard look more like the crazy Duck Dynasty beards. We were all a little hesitant not knowing if Dean would even wear it. 

We had the stomach flu come through our house this week starting on Monday night. Dean and John got it first and we all lost plenty of sleep. On Tuesday I finally got all of the long yarn pieces strung into the beard my mom had crocheted and we tried it on Dean on Wednesday night. He hated wearing it. He bawled and bawled and bawled. 

I was very sad that this awesome costume that mom and I had spent so much time on wouldn't get used. John said he'd wear it since he tried it on and it fit! So after some tweaking, John wore it to work on Halloween. 

Unfortunately, I woke up Wednesday night with the stomach flu. I started feeling ok enough that I took Dean to John's work trick or treating, but that was the only Halloween festivities that our family participated in. Hopefully next year will be better!
