Two days later!

My parents left Sunday after helping put the floor in AND my sister arrived Tuesday night! She and her little family stayed with us until the following Monday. We stayed plenty busy visiting the Denver Mint, Hammond Candy Factory, the Denver Zoo, swimming at the rec center and playing in the sprinklers. The weather in Idaho has been anything but warm, so they were able to enjoy three days of the sun, but it seems as though the clouds followed them. Jason and the boys went to the Rockies game Friday night and enjoyed the game, food, mixed with a little rain! Turns out that four hours at the zoo is more than my girls can take, i.e. the picture of all four children in the double stroller. Eli sporting the pink stroller is another good picture. The Mint doesn't allow strollers which was a treat in and of itself carrying the 24lb kiddo to, through and from the tour. I was more than eager to relieve my arms when to my surprise, I had no stroller! Des had hers, thus Eli in a pink stroller. He is comfortable enough with his masculinity, he pulled off just fine I think-hehe!

New floors

We have hated the carpet in our house since be bought it-carpet in the dinning room? So we had an estimate on having the floors installed. When it came back $2200- just for the labor-uuuh we decided to try another company. The second bid came back at ONLY $1000 for the labor-for 450 sq feet! Are you kidding me! Being the cheapo that I am, and having the father I do, decided to make a phone call and informed Aaron that his weekend was booked. He was not soo keen with the idea, but I reassured him that it would be no problem. Long story short, it was a sliiightly harder project than I had anticipated-But no worries! Here are the before and after's!
