Right now I'm sitting on top of my kitchen counter, and every square inch of our kitchen is crammed with our sofa's, and mattresses. We also can't park our cars in the garage because the piano, computer desk, beds, and every other piece of furniture is crammed in there. Can you guess, we are getting new carpet! Yea, I've been waiting for this day since Kate decided
bright pink nail polish would look pretty on our master bedroom carpet. And since Kirk squirted dish soap all over the living room carpet. Not to mention all of the countless other mishaps with food, Dan's health drinks, and dirt. I can already tell that the house is going to feel like new by the time it's all done. The kids have been really good about being sequestered to the kitchen, and backyard. I have taken some before pictures which I'll include once it's all installed. You can imagine what we did all weekend. It started with a long lunch break Friday. Dan and his amazing Brothers, and Brother in-law came over and moved all our furniture. I can't believe how much stuff we've accumulated over the last five years. We've put off getting new carpet because we knew what a chore it would be to move everything. Thank goodness for Dan's Brothers, or else it would have been impossible! Saturday I spent all morning painting our base boards. I figured it was a good time to paint, since it didn't matter if I got it on the carpet. This was the first time I've ever let Kate paint, I figured I'd let her get the chance since 
she could drip and it wouldn't matter. The Kate is a really good helper. She is always eager to pitch in and work. She also helped wash down the moldings, and walls. Dan removed all of the doors, and finished moving the remaining stuff out. We've been sleeping on mattresses which didn't go over well with the kids. And since the doors are off of the bedrooms, there was no way of containing the kids to their rooms. Saturday night the kids played in their rooms with each other, then finally fell asleep on Kate's mattress. I also have some more good news. Kirk didn't have to be taken out of Sacrament meeting a single time for being loud, or crying, or running around the chapel. It was so nice to sit through a whole meeting, and he was really good to. Dan is on the high council, so most Sunday's it's just me and the kids. I hope this is a new trend for Kirk, because usually I'm taking him out several times during one hour. As for the update on our attempts to have a third child, I'm not pregnant. We've been trying for like eight months now, and I getting sick of waiting. But I guess it will happen when it is meant to happen. Here are some pictures of the new carpet. I just love it. It feels like we live in a new home. I am so happy with the way it turned out!

The carpet looks great! Now you just have to ban all health drinks from it (and nail polish)
And congrats on Kirk in church :0) What a good little kid

What a great day it is when you make it through sacrament meeting! I remember that day - although if you watch close, I sometimes still make the long walk (with my 8 year old). Those babies are so beautiful! You and Dan sure know how to make them.
