Under Construction and Halloween!

Our tile was popping loose because they used a bad batch of adhesive when they built our house. Our house is only five years old so this is kind of frustrating. Scott and I decided to save $1000.00 and take the tile up ourselves. Our friends kept Cooper for the day because it was Halloween weekend and then Sunday Cooper and I stayed at my friends house so Scott could finish. It was a lot of hard work but we got it done. We covered every opening and spent two days with only access to our bedroom! Even though everything was covered with plastic the dust still got everywhere. I'm talking in my cabinets, all over my dishes, and anywhere you can imagine. I cleaned house good on tuesday and all the dust is already back. I am having to take everything out of the cabinets and my pantry and clean all the dishes and food! They are coming to lay the tile tomorrow and I can't wait! We are going with a tile that looks like wood. I am anxious to see how it turns out!


We were just popping up the tile and Cooper had to put his knee pads and gloves on too!

Look at the dust!




Saturday we went to church for the Trunk or Treat instead of going out on Sunday. Cooper was a baseball player and won the costume contest! He was not in a very good mood that night due to a short nap and didn't want the black paint on his face so this was the best I could do.

This was the best picture we could get of the boys. This is Cooper's friend Tripp (Shrek)

The costume contest.

He had to take his bucket to church on sunday and school on monday...haha!

Oh my goodness...I don't know if I could handle doing that. I'll remember those pictures in case I ever get a crazy hair! I like both of those shirts too!

Oh my goodness all that dust. I am surprised you did not end of sick from breathing it all. Can't wait to see what your tile looks like. I have never seen any that looks like wood and I am sure you are ready to get everything all cleaned back up and in place.

Cooper looks cute all dressed up in his little baseball suit and congrats on the "win". Looks like he knows exactly what to do on getting that candy. It is funny he had to take that with him to church and school. Guess he wanted to make sure he stocked up in case Mommy and Daddy got into his goodies. Ha!

See you next weekend!!!!!
