Well, it's official Spring Break has arrived! yay! The weekend was great but very busy. I stayed up until 3:30 am Friday night throwing out stuff. Yep, I went through EVERY drawer,closet, dresser, nightstand and room and got rid of everything we have not used or seen in the past year. Today, I dropped everything off at Goodwill. They met me at my car to unload everything and it felt good cleaning . I haven't blogged in a while, but I know many of you know, we have been contemplating redoing our floors since Valentines Day. Well Wednesday, Tim's dad came out and did our dining room floor while we were at work. We had picked out our materials the weekend before and he was on spring break, so he spent the day doing a fabulous job on our dining room. It turned out so good, that Tim wanted to go ahead and do Houston's playroom . So once again, he came out and spent the day doing the playroom. I was so impressed! Houston is excited to have an even surface to roll his race cars and play with his toys on. The carpet had been in our house for the past 8 years and was in good condition, but we thought it was time for a change. So now, the entire front half of our house is hardwood, tile or laminate. I was so excited about the floors, I went crazy cleaning. I scrubbed every baseboard in the house, bought new airfreshners and it feels like we have a new house. I am posting pics of before and after.

I have a praise post/update. A week ago, my new neighbor's huge dog attacked my dog Paws. She is the best little dog ever and is just a little mutt. It was an Airedale that got loose and came over and jumped on poor Pawser. It happened during the day, so she took her to the vet and got her stitched up. I am so glad to say, Paws jumped up on Houston's bed the other day. I was so happy to see that, because her leg had a hole in it and her stomach had been ripped open last week. Pray her dog doesn't get out anymore, because it is so scary to think Houston could have been outside. God is sooo good though and He is always watching over us.
