TA - DA!!

After 2 1/2 weeks, 4 days out of our home, 4 more days with only one available bathroom/toilet, many meals at the table...located in the front family room, a couple cuts, and three separate cases of the stomach flu thrown in for fun....we finally got tile laid in our hallway, kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room!!! I have wanted this for some time now, because our hallway carpet takes ALL the household traffic and was impossible to keep clean! We thought we'd update the other hardsurface rooms while we're at it - I really do love the tile!! (and a lot less vaccuuming)

hallway before:

tearing out the carpet:

o.k...this next picture deserves a bit of an explanation. I had to run Harrison and McKenna to playgroup and had told Adam that Tyler was in his chair at the table. I came back 10 minutes later to find Tyler on top of the table and Adam at the other end of the hallway. I just stood there trying to figure out why Adam would've gotten Tyler out of his chair and set him on the tabletop?!? Adam was just as astonished as I when he caught a glimpse of Tyler! I guess he can get out of his chair now - and good thing Harrison's leftover lunch was still there to keep Tyler busy!!

and....hallway AFTER!!
