Pure Shambles

This time we can't blame Jack for the house being in shambles...but this time it is for real in shambles. We are having wood floors installed in the living room and hall (compliments of Jack's stomach bug last week...of course this couldn't have been done all Summer when we were home). They delivered the floors last week so they could get used to our house and came today to install them. Nick and I had to officially report to work today so with everything prepared for the installation, Jack having a terrible night, and having to be at work earlier than ever...we set off. Patrick so KINDLY offered to work from our house to supervise....well...long story short...some of the wood was scratched, the house is in shambles, and now the new wood has to get used to our house and it will be installed on Wednesday. The one day project didn't go as planned which isn't easy with a 16 month old and us trying to get into a work/daycare routine. I think tomorrow will be a bouncehouse night after work so Jack can actually play somewhere other than the little bit of carpet in front of our bed.

Here are some pictures of the shambles...I think it is going to look great though once it is finally complete...Anyone local want to supervise on Wednesday?

Jack's playroom/storage until after the shambles.
Two good things did happen today- Jack's backpack & lunch box name tag came in the mail. They didn't come out quality wise as I expected but are cute, will do the job, and saved the backpack/lunch box from monogramming which means we can reuse it...practical huh?!? AND Jack's Halloween Costume came in the mail...you'll have to wait til October to see our little man all dressed up though :)
