The beginning of the renovations...
We've lived in our house for 10 years. We've done things like new windows, a new AC, ceiling fans. We've never really redone something.
Our carpet had seen better days and we finally bit the bullet and decided to take action. New flooring was slated for installation during our Spring Break trip. We wanted to scrap the ceilings first, I use we lightly...
all scraped!
It makes a big mess! Lots of vacuuming and a little injury.
Then the contractor came and started demo, first the carpet

We came home to this!
We still needed to texture the ceilings, paint everything, install baseboards, install vanity, put everything back in it's place and much more.
Still working on all of that, but getting closer!
More updates on the way!!
Spring Break!!!
Several years ago we started trying to make sure and take a just for our family trip during Spring Break. We have some LEGO fanatics in our house and it had been a few years since we had gone to Legoland. Plus there is always tons to do in the San Diego area.
We started Spring break at home doing some things around the house getting it ready for some new "things" (another post on that later) and the kids spent some time gathering ladybugs!

We also had to opportunity to help a friend, Thomas, with his Eagle Project! It was at our elementary school repainting the map of the US!
We headed down to San Diego on Wednesday morning and went to North Island to grab some lunch at the Navy Exchange and pick up tickets to the USS Midway and a harbor cruise.
The USS Midway was an excellent way to start the trip. The kids loved exploring and N8 and I loved the history of it all. We spent 3 1/2 hours there, it was well worth it!
After that we headed over to the beach and Torrey Pines and watched the hang gliders and N8 and the kids searched for a geocache.
Dinner at noodles and co rounded out our day.
The next two days were full of LEGO! All 4 kids loved Legoland and had a blast!
N8 took this awesome picture!
Star Wars Legos were a big hit!
Water rides were a hit too (someday we'll have to do the waterpark!)
We even forked out $5 to use the huge dryer!
Emma and Benjamin (with Mo as a helper) participated in a 45 minute Mindstorms activity programming their own robot!
We ended with N8 trying to win a giant fluffy unicorn. He thinks the game was rigged :)
Then we headed down to La Jolla and had dinner to Naomi and Bret!!
Saturday morning we drove down to the harbor and went on a 1 hour harbor cruise. The weather was beautiful!
It was a fabulous trip!
