...without some Griswold home improvements around here. Over the course of the eight years that we have lived in our current home, we have replaced the 70's shag carpet with wood flooring, tiled the bathrooms, replaced termite ridden walls with new beams and drywall, taken out concrete slabs in the backyard, installed new appliances and ceiling fans, painted, re-painted, added moldings, doors, and most recently wainscoting...even built new stairs from scratch. All amidst raising these two boys, traveling, excessive TV watching, reading, baking, beaching, living. This weekend, yep, the weekend before Christmas, finds us deep into one more renovation project I like to call bye bye linoleum. Finally, I won't have to mop 40 years of grime anymore! We can walk through our new front door and stand in a kitchen with wood beneath our feet. Merry Christmas to us. Woodn't you like to be a Majors too?
