New Carpet!

I am sooo amazed! This morning at 8:40 the carpet men came and totally turned our house upside down. But when they left, it was BEAUTIFUL!! I didn't realize what a difference new carpet would make. Of course, the 20 year old berber carpet that was in here was disgusting and when they pulled it up, it was even sicker...you would not believe the number of stains and then there was standing dirt on the carpet pad. It looked like someone poured dirt in our living room. YUCK!! There were more stains than clean spots...that is pretty bad.
The girls and I mostly played outside...it was a beautiful 100 degree day, but it felt great under our big shade tree! Grace starts school on Wednesday and she is sooo excited. Of course, her teacher was pretty funny. We went to meet the teacher day on Friday and she tells us that they will learn how to count to 10 and learn all their letters. I hated to tell her that SUS can count to 15, and Grace has known all her letters and sounds for I don't know how long, but that's okay. She is going for the social part...she needs to learn how to get along with kids her own age and sit still outside of watching T.V. She is so very happy that we are letting her go to school, I just hope she has a great time. She is such the cute trooper with her little Barbie lunchbox!
Oh, I forgot. Aaron and I have teamed up this year to play in a Fanasty Football league. We had our draft this past weekend. We got to pick 11th out of 12 owners....pretty sad. We got a pretty good team, hopefully T.O will come back and be nice to his team and score us some points. I'm off to watch some pre-season football....Cowboys vs. Seahawks (a Searcy boy is on their team, so I might have to become a fan if they let Jeb play!)

Vivian and I pulled up our living room and dining room carpet at Spring Sing and I thought I was going to be ill at all the dirt under the thing!
Take pictures of Grace on the first day!
Love you!
