The Great Kitchen Renovation
After having lived in this old farmhouse for almost 15 years, we decided it was time to change the kitchen floor. Actually, I decided it was time, and started tearing it up when my parents were gone. :) They knew though, that I was going to, so it was all good. My mom was very much ready to change it. Who wouldn't be? After all, it was ugly, split-pea-soup green, faded, cracking, peeling, etc. etc. etc. Just gross.Honestly, it doesn't seem to be a horrible looking kitchen in general...but I do think that it looks somewhat better in the pictures than it did in real life. Maybe just because you can't see all the details of the grossness. So, I invited Nick to come over for a couple of days and help us tear it up, which he did willingly. I think the willingness was more just wanting to be with me rather than wanting to tear up a kitchen floor, but it worked. And he only broke two or three of our tools.

Mom: I'm pretty sure it wasn't a seahorse. *silence* Mary: Are you sure it wasn't a seahorse? "We're triplets. But she got stuck for a year." ~Ashley~ Kevin: I really can't see you breaking hearts. Me: Ohh, I do. Kevin: I don't believe you. Me: You will soon.
Angelica: Help me Becky...I don't know how to make jello. Me: Boil a cup and a half of water and we'll go from there. Angelica: How much is a cup? "You're like an ogre. I mean an onion." ~Will~
