Good morning! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Ours was productive. But before I get to that I have to tell you that my guest post for Elizabeth at the Chasin' Mason Blog on being a mom to boys is up on her site! Here's the link. Go check it out. ;) On Saturday Daniel and I (I was mostly his gofer) installed new laminate flooring at my mom's house. My grandparents are coming down for Christmas so she wanted to cover up the concrete that was left after she pulled up her nasty carpet.

We installed the darker stuff. Eventually she'll do that throughout the house but it's better than what was there, for now. Only took us 6 hours to do but man were we exhausted afterwards. If that weren't productive enough, yesterday we finished painting all our kitchen cabinets!!! Hooray! Just need to touch up a couple spots by hand and attach the pulls on the pantry doors and we'll be done done. After Christmas we'll tackle the back splash which should only cost us about $40 and should be able to be finished in one day... That's the plan anyway. LOL You know what they say about "best laid plans" though. We're making headway on our kitchen remodel on a dime, thank Gawd. I'm taking till after the new year to relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor. I think we've earned it. Anyway, that's about it for now. Probably won't hear from me till after my "vacation". Until then, have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year! With love, Holly
