New Floors

When we moved into this house, we were greeted by new carpet. New WHITE carpet. The owners before us obviously did not have dogs or kids. We weren't thrilled with the carpet, but considering it was brand new (so new we had to wear little booties on our shoes as we toured the house prior to buying it) we decided to live on it for a while until we killed it. Well that didn't take too very long with toddlers and dogs in the house. About a month ago, we finally decided that after almost 2 years of the white carpet, it was time to get something a little more durable and stain resistant in our dining room and living room. We went with hardwood floors and are thrilled with the result! It only took the workers two days to put them in.

The kids were fascinated by the whole process and excitedly told anyone who would listen that the "mans" took out our rug and put in some "new wood." When Matt got home from work the day the floors were finished he told him "Dad, go in the living room and look down!"

Here are some pictures of the final result:

Oliver flicking his ears once his rug was replaced... with his little copycat following right behind. He really missed being able to do this nightly routine. During the middle of the construction, Oliver looked at me with sadness and said "I just want to flick my ears!"
