We're Home!

What a fun week!  While workers were busy refinishing our hardwood floors all week (before and after pictures coming soon), we stayed with friends here in town.  While having eight people descend on anyone for 5 nights, including Thanksgiving, would be daunting, they never once made us feel like we were imposing.  The Randalls are great friends.  Sadie followed 17-year old Miranda around, loving all the attention, not to mention the manicures, hair-do's, and make-overs.  She was in 5-year old heaven.  The boys got their fill of Nerf Gun wars and wii games.  We don't allow sleepovers so Savannah was thrilled to spend 5 nights staying up late and laughing with the girls.  The adults even stayed up late most nights, sharing stories and laughing like kids.

The food was amazing.  The Randalls know how to do Thanksgiving!  I take a lot of shortcuts when I prepare the meal myself, but Paula does it all from scratch.  Everything was so good.  My only regret is that my fridge isn't filled with leftovers this year.  Mmmmm...  Nothing like a cold turkey sandwich after it's all over!  We had way more pie than any of us knew what to do with.  So, so good!

Now we're home.  Our house smells like floor finish.  We have no furniture in the living room.  My feet hurt because there is no place to sit down.  The kids are fighting because being good for a whole week was apparently all they could handle.  But it was worth it!  The floors are beautiful and I can't wait to have everything back to normal.  It's been a great week!
