Life's S'MORE Fun When We're Together: Get ready to be FLOORed!

The weather has been so nice lately that we decided to enjoy a fire in the back yard. Of course, we HAD to make some s'mores. Jon got the marshmallows out then I realized we were out of honey crackers. Eating s'mores turned into eating roasted marshmallows. Though, I'm pretty sure M didn't care. She loved the idea of having a treat (or two) before dinner!!

After what seemed like forever, it finally rained. Guess what. NO LEAKS!!! Yay! *Happy Dance* Which means we were finally able to start on the flooring. We started with pulling up staples and more staples. And. More. Staples. (Seriously, I'm pretty sure they went a little staple happy when they put the carpet in.) We pulled staples for several days. Even M helped out!

Saturday was a relaxing day. Jon went golfing with two of his buddies that were both transferring. We spent the evening just doing nothing. M played in the yard while we sat on the porch with C. Sunday morning Jon watched the kids so that I could have a few hours to myself. C is still exclusively breast fed and doesn't like to take bottles. He also likes to eat constantly. Me getting more than 30 minutes to myself is pretty much unheard of. I pumped that morning then went off to enjoy almost four hours of doing absolutely nothing by myself. It was glorious! But I started really missing my babies and it was so nice outside. I knew it'd be a good day to play outside and work on the trailer.

That afternoon Jon started laying down new flooring! We decided to go with Style Selections Peel & Stick Vinyl from Lowe's. It looks like wood laminate, but it's more lightweight. After making sure all the staples were up, Jon sanded down a few spots on the sub floor to make sure everything was even. He vacuumed like a mad man. He primed the floors using Henry's Self-Stick Tile Primer. He had to wait about two hours for that to dry. Then the moment we've been waiting for finally happened. He laid the first plank! It's taken him two days so far. Working around military schedule is hard, especially when the boat is in port and you have duty days. Anyways, the first day he did the kitchen/dining area. Day two he worked on the living room and bedroom area. It looks amazing! Check out those before and after pictures at the bottom!
