Pre Halloween party

Off the guys go to the ward Halloween party. I woke up feeling nasty today, but went to work anyway. Now I'm home taking it easy while my boys party at the trunk or treat.

MMMM...I WONDER

Did you ever wonder what your home would look like if you tackled a big flooring project? Wonder no more. Some rooms would be empty...

Some rooms would echo...












Some would be packed to the gills...

Some you would look at and think "how am I going to get my underwear out of the dresser?"

But then you begin your mantra "it will all be over soon" and you repeat this to yourself many, many times. In fact, every time you pass one of said rooms. It also helps to get out of the house as often as possible. I'm spending tomorrow at work!

HOME IMPROVEMENT-the sequel

The Sullivan clan is not afraid of a little hard work. We are DIYers! Before I reveal what we're up to now, how about a look back at what we've been crazy enough to do ourselves...

We started with a nice home, and a lovely back yard.

Then we wanted to build a pool room. While Sid was serving as bishop.

Oooh, a pantry would be nice too, please!

Sid decided he should have a shed to put more stuff in (the garage was getting full)

Angela wanted to add some cupboards, may as well put in a new silestone countertop.

While we're at it,let's do the floor too.

Wouldn't a slate floor look great in the bathroom?!

We're slowly getting rid of all the carpet because Angela has such bad allergies. Here we are putting bamboo in the office.

At this point we lost our slave labor (Seth & Marcus) so Angela pulled the carpet off herself. We did hire someone to install the laminate.

Putting bamboo in the bedroom, right before Marcus came home from his mission. Needless to say he won't sleep in there.

It sure would be nice if the counter matched the floor...we hired someone for this too.

And last night the carpet came out of the pool room as we prepare for real wood floors throughout the house. As you can see, one half of our slave labor is back (Marcus). He's indebted to us for his car, thus his willingness to work. We hired someone to do the install, but we have to do all the demo. It will be done before Halloween, so come see!!!

RACER GIRL

Yes indeed, I did a race! This is my 3rd race as an adult. I did the 5k walk with 2 of my girlfriends. Sid met me at the finish. He didn't see me walking super fast (I finished in 50 minutes) and I looked really cute. Race on!
