News from our house.

Nathanial Michael Phelps II died last night. Not quite so sad this time, but we decided that the little tank we got at Salvation Army maybe wasn't such a great idea. So far Cadi's fish is hanging in there.
I decided after getting the allergy reports back on Josi that the old carpet in the living room had to go. So with the help of Uncle Bud and both girls we got the carpet, pad, staples, nails, those gnarly carpet strips, and all the mess out of the house in 5 1/2 hours. What a great feeling. I think I'm going to paint the floor a deep red color and that will do us until after the winter. We'll see if there is any money left after the winter fuel bills.
After working with my two as they pulled staples, moved furniture and gross old carpet I am again reminded of what amazing kids I have. I had told them I thought we should do something together as a family today and then changed my mind and decided to do the carpet. Cadi said, "This is together as a family stuff and it's actually fun." During the entire time I didn't hear one of them complain. I am blessed!
I'm heading to the shower, pajamas,and the recliner. I may just sleep there tonight because I might not be able to get out of it!
