She is now officially a Daisy Scout!
Here she is with her troop.
Thanksgiving weekend was fun. We got our Christmas tree up, did most of our shopping, AND...
put up Christmas lights outside!
Corey and I have never had lights on our house, and we never had them on our houses growing up either!
We started out slowly...just a few! But it was so cheerful to see them when I drove in from Bible study last night!
We still have a lot on our plate as well.
This is what our kitchen floor looks like right now:
About a week and a half ago, I stopped up the sink to fill it up to wash off Noah's crocs. Sometime later I discovered a completely drowned floor and countertop.
The dishwasher had been running so I didn't hear the water running and we got busy with schoolwork. I have no idea how long it was running....probably over an hour!
I thought it was going to be okay, but a few days later we saw the edges of the floorboards start to buckle! agh! More investigation showed that the water had accumulated to about an inch in several pots and buckets inside the cabinets!
So...Sunday afternoon Corey pulled up the damaged boards and all the rest as far as it was wet underneath. At least the damage was on the edge of the floor and not right in the middle! AND we still have an extra box of flooring to use to repair.
PLEASE pray that we can get the boards back in easily!
The original project was not one we ever hoped to repeat, so we are hoping it goes smoothly this time!
That's what we're up to.
That, and getting ready for a cookie swap Friday night, and our Disney trip next Wednesday..
Good times!
UPDATE: I have actually gone ahead and rescheduled the cookie swap.
Regrouping the rest of the day I just realized that there were TOO MANY things going on this weekend and the floor still very iffy..... so ....
it actually has already worked out better for several people...*whew*
I hate to reschedule, but it always ends up happening to me! ha ha!

The sweetest Daisy scout...love the lights...so glad Corey can finally have some on the outside of the house...hope the floor fixes quickly....
I love the Daisy scout pics. Canaan keeps asking if he can be a boy scout - now I feel like a slacker!
Why didn't you tell me about the floor?!?! What a crazy mess. I am so sorry. Hope it doesn't end up being too much of a bother.
I LOVE the lights. We haven't gotten anything out yet, and I need to get busy. I am feeling the Christmas spirit.
I am really sorry about your floor! I can't believe that happened! It's so easy to get distracted though. I hope you have no stress leading up to your trip and that the floor is an easy fix. Take care!
