Well yeah our Robotics competition is on the 31st and we have a TON to do between now and the 29th...so yeah that is enough excitement in itself...however ....
My sister picked us up one whiz banger of a deal on carpet ... they drove it in to us (we live an hour away) and dropped it off at 10:30....at 10am Lowes called and said they could be out around 12 to "detail" (aka measure for carpet and pad) ... so they came out and did that. ...so...
we got the carpet for the whole upstairs (3 bedrooms, hallway and stairs) for $250 (less than one room's cost) and just have to pay for $139 for install....plus the pad and then I think it is 43 cents a square foot for them to rip up the old, haul away, and move our furniture..........!!!!!!!
Now my dh is talking that if we are going to do that...we might as well paint Brian's room (he has lego bricks painted on the wall)....and has a LEGO bunk bed (upper bunk...underneath was his tv and chair)

....and build Brian a new bed (drawers underneath his bed)...and if he is making ONE new bed dealy...why not make one for the other son too?
Goodness this is going to be amazing!!!
Our carpet upstairs is matted down gold shag that probably was put in the year the house was built...we're the 4th owners I think and we've lived here 17 years...so guessing it is like a 30 year old house....our new carpet is a tan berber carpet with a long loop (terminology?) with some brown and black in it...pretty neutral.
