Hotel life...

is not for me! I am a germifobe (sp?) and so the thought of staying in a hotel always gives me the shivers. I guess I need to back up... we have been thinking about moving the last couple of months but have realized it is not time for us to do that yet so we are staying put for now... well its been 7 yrs in this house and so if Im going to be in this house Im going to do some fixing up and changes that I have wanted to do for a long time SO first on my list was refinishing our wood floors. The wear and tear have gotten them not to mention the installers who put them in did a crappy job to begin with. So we got kicked out of our house for a couple days this week and stayed at a nearby hotel which is brand new and was actually very nice a clean.. the bathroom still looked brand new which was a + for me!! BUT that didnt stop me from pulling out my Lysol and spraying everything and I do mean everything before I allowed the kids to walk around and touch anything. I pull off the comforters and spray spray spray... even the floors! The kids think Im nuts and wanted their comforter to stay on so I cringed and said ok but of course really sprayed the crap out of that sucker!
We ended up having a good time and Malia did surprisingly well even though she only got 1 very short nap. (thank you Tami) Tami let us chill at her house all day until we could check in and it was so nice to just get to relax over there all day rather than worrying about naps and stuff!! Anyways we went out to dinner and then came back and let the kids swim, and the pool was all ours which was super nice!
The kids all did pretty dang good, Malia had her moments, I think she was missing her toys and routine but thats alright shes all happy and rested now! AND the best part is my floor looks AWESOME the guys did an amazing job, we went for a darker color with a little red cuz I like dark and I like red so combine it and its my dream come true! So YEAH Im a happy camper and can check that off my list of things to do this year! Im dreading having that first scratch put on my beautiful floor so I kinda hope it just hurries and happens so I dont stress about it happening!

My sweet girl
She looked so springy and sweet

And yes shes chewing on my blackberry!

Your floors look awesome! Thanks for spending the day here it was fun! You should have spent the night too! I would only have been slightly offended if you threw our guest room comforter on the floor and ran around my house with your lysol!
