Driving 26 hours with 4 kids with a movie playing 24/7 is really not that bad! The kids LOVE watching movies in the car which is a huge blessing! The first day on the road, Regan drove 18 hours! I was exhausted...he seriously was just so anxious for us to get back home to Ohio! The next day we only had to drive7 hours.
Elle loved singing the songs from Frozen...I think she forgot she was wearing headphones...
When we got home, we opened up the garage door to find a pleasant surprise on the door! The Allender kids across the street had been taking care of Sweetie and made us these cute signs!
When we got home, the kids ran into the house to see Sweetie sine they had missed her so much. I was the last one inside the house and I began to freak out because I knew right then what Regan's summer surprise was for us!!!
NEW WOOD FLOORS! I started to freak out because I hated the tile floors that we had! White matte finish tile with white grout does not work well for our family-it always looked dirty!
Regan had worked so hard to find the kind of wood floor, someone to take the tile out and install the wood floors, and he even put a light and fan in our master bedroom! Seriously, he is husband of the year in my book! He went above and beyond the honey do list for sure!
BEFORE & DURING PICS:
He chose wide slats of dark wood that are hand chiseled. I LOVE IT! The guys that installed it kept saying, "Dude, are you SURE your wife is going to like this?" knowing that I had NO idea that he was doing this. He kept saying, "ya, I think so..." The truth is, I would have chosen the same wood and I couldn't be happier! It is so low maintenance and gorgeous! Our home now feels complete!
Being back in Ohio now honestly feels like home. I had the most amazing summer, but there is something to be said about being back into your routine and in your own home!
