Our basement project is going full-speed ahead, now that we are all over the flu! Steve is still not 100%, but at least he can get off the couch now:) Steve and Jarrod got all the drywalling done this week and another friend will come over to tape the drywall and make everything smooth so I can start painting, yea!!! It's hard to tell from the pics what's what. The 1st pic is going down the stairs, and on the right is the bathroom and Zach's room. To the left is the playroom/spare bedroom and the big main room will house a big entertainment center and either a ping-pong table or pool table. Steve picked out a huge mural from Cabela's to put on one whole wall, I'm kind of scared to see what that's going to look like! It is 8.5 ft. tall x 14ft. wide and has deer and ducks on it. Maybe we'll get camo furniture too! (just kidding about that, although Steve would be all for it!) Well I better go for now, Ally keeps getting into stuff. She had Valentine's candy for breakfast! I'm the best mom ever she tells me:) If she only knew I was ignoring her needs!

Ahhh, it's February...
Hunting season has sadly come to an end( Now our basement project is finally in full swing) Ally has been spending most of her days coloring, playing barbies and helping in the basement.
Steve and his buddies did all the framing, wiring, plumbing etc. I am in the process of putting in all the insullation, it's pretty easy, but itchy. When that's done the walls can go up and I will be painting and staining. I just seriously can't wait to have double the living space. No more toys in the living room, no more bedtime drama between Ally and Hayley, they will now have their own rooms. Pinch me, I must be dreaming. I'll keep taking pics to show our progress, it already looks different now from when I took the pictures two days ago. Ally's been doing her best to keep us motivated.
