“A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.” ― Leo Tolstoy, Family Happiness

Carpet......
We got Braden a big boy captains bed with a matching dresser. I was forced to clean out his room so that it was ready to go when the delivery guys came on Thursday. I noticed some stains on his carpet before we moved in and decided this was a prime time to investigate. I pulled up the carpet and pad. The pad turned out to not be a pad at all but half an inch of pink foam. The carpet has a multiple stains one being so large I have no idea what could have possibly made it. Then I spotted the bugs. Yes there were bugs under the carpet in Braden's room. I freaked out and spent the rest of the afternoon gutting the upstairs. The kids will not be allowed up there until we get new carpet. Since the carpet is getting trashed I guess I will just have to finish removing the popcorn ceiling in all the rooms. I will also be pulling out all the trim. It is so old it actually crumbles. Tobin wants a monkey/jungle room and Braden wants a wilderness theme with bears. I see a lot of work in my future. At least I will feel okay with letting the boys sleep upstairs once it is done.
