::new carpet::

In August we were up in Taos for the weekend and sadly we had a mini flood from the swamp cooler tubing. It flooded the garage and also Sandy's room. It really wasn't too bad except that it made the carpet stink. It was so wet. Who knows how long everything was so soggy.
Anyway, Kris had to rip up half the carpet right there and then when we got home because it was so stinky. It was time for new carpet.

This is not a bad thing in a lot of ways. I really hated the carpet that was in there. It was ugly and had some bald and ripped up spots. I just wasn't quite ready to replace it just yet. And of course Max's and Sand's rooms match, so we had to redo both.

I'm so happy we did it now though. The rooms look so much better and cozier now.

(Max and Emily working with Max's electronics set in the nice empty room.)
We picked a nice shaggy beach colored carpet and it turned out perfect.

The baby was very skeptical of it at first though. He didn't want any parts of his body to touch it and if I laid him down on it he would get quite upset.
He warned up to it pretty quickly though--luckily, since it's not going anywhere!



So there you go. Not big news but news nonetheless. And now you've seen some of the pictures that have been haunting my desktop for days, waiting to be posted.
And if you want to come and feel our nice shaggy carpet with your feet anytime soon, you're welcome to.
