Thankfully, Jim and Shirley were willing to let us borrow their digital camera to take pictures. I called Canon at the end of last week, and they had to order a part for our broken camera. It's frustrating, but hopefully we'll have it by the end of this week or beginning of next. As long as it gets here before September 30th!
Hopefully these pictures will give you an idea of what the house looks like before we get our carpet. Erik and I have worked almost every day for a couple of weeks to get Kayleigh's butterflies and flowers painted on her walls. Tonight I hope to finish cleaning them up, and then we'll be all done with them. I hope this is the last time I have to paint something like that!
You will also see a picture of the carpet with a paint stain on it. After Erik and I moved in, Valerie came up to visit and help me paint what is now Kayleigh's big girl room. While I was gone that day, Valerie accidentally spilled part of the paint and left the ring that's on the carpet. I just admitted to Erik today what that stain was from. He never asked about it, so I always kept my mouth shut! :) You're welcome, Valerie! The stain has always been covered by either a dresser or a bed, so she spilled in the perfect spot! I do remember her telling me about the stain on my way home from my errand, and I had been so worried that it was in the middle of the room and would look awful! I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was something that could so easily be covered.
Erik has recently talked about buying a new bedroom set. If it had been a couple of years ago, I would have jumped at the chance. Now, I'm content with what we have, and don't feel like buying one, especially since we still have to buy furniture for the baby. I told him today that he has the chance to have new bedroom furniture for the night since our "bedroom" is the living room. He LOVES the big screen tv that is in his room!
Okay, enough with the stories. Enjoy the pictures, and I'll get some more up tomorrow of the carpet. I'm not sure when the house will be completely back to order, but I'll continue to take pictures along the way.

I would like to say, in my defense, that I did not spill paint on the floor, I put the lid on the sheet that was on the floor and the paint leaked through.
We have a small red paint stain in our guest bedroom that is hidden by a dresser that was left by a family member.
I'm safe - I don't think I painted red at your house. :)
