Living in Chaos!

Last Friday the painters were at our house. They were not able to get everything finished so they left most of their equipment so they could return to finish up....problem is they wouldn't return for three days so this is how our house looked all weekend. It drove me CRAZY!!!

We had to take down all of our Christmas decorations and everything hanging on the walls and scoot all of the furniture to the middle of the room. Britton's bedroom and the kids bathroom are the only rooms in the house that didn't get any damage so we had to pile every thing into those two rooms. Britton has been so good about it too. He's so nice to let his room turn into this...


And the bathtub is full of junk.

I didn't think to take a picture of my kitchen before I started to clean it up. It needed a major overhaul before I could get dinner on the table for our guest. Tyler's brother Jordan was in town and we had invited him to stay for dinner......had we known. All of the painting should be finished by Monday then we will get the carpets cleaned, I'm not sure what we are going to do with everything then, could be interesting. But after that we will be back to normal...YIPEE!

Saturday we went to see Santa Claus. More to come on that later....Saturday night Jordan (Tyler's brother) needed help with Soccer registration. Jordan is the head soccer coach at Iowa Western Community College and was in town for recruiting. We went over to the soccer facility and took registration forms and money and handed out shirts. We even made some money off of it. Jordan was nice enough to give each of the kids a dollar for helping out. They thought that was the coolest. Jordan got back to our house at 11:30 that night and we stayed up until 4:00am visiting. That made for a very long Sunday.

In other news we got our Christmas cards sent out. I got them out a little later then I wanted but at least they are done. This is the picture we used for the card. I don't love it but it was the best one we could get. I hate using the timer on the camera but it works I guess. I'm sure both of my blog readers have gotten theirs already so this shouldn't be a spoiler.

I had to add this picture just because it makes me laugh. We took several pictures trying to get Shayna to cooperate. She was upset because I didn't want her stuffed animal in the picture. She reminds me so much of me! She's the best!!
