Crash. Bang.

Many of you may know that we are finishing part of our basement, and decided to put in a full bath downstairs (off the kitchen, to replace the current powder room), while we had everything in the basement torn up...So, today was a big demolition day. I opted to take the kids to visit Pappy and Grandma Buckwalter, who live at Garden Spot Village in New Holland. We don't get there near enough, but the kids always have fun when we do get there. :)

Great Grandma Sara with Kaycee (4) and Calli (4 months)...Campbell would not cooperate. :)

Pappy with Kaden (5 1/2), Kaycee (4), and Campbell (23 mo).

Our smiley girl Calli...
Meanwhile...This picture was taken last weekend as a "before"...we had to find places for all this "stuff". All you girls who always think my house is in order should really come check it out now...there is stuff EVERYWHERE. I am trying to grin and bear it.


You can see the bathroom is no longer there. They took out 2 walls today, to make one large room for now. The posts on the left were where the old basement entrance used to be. We now put the basement entrance in a previous closet off of the office.

To the left of the window were my washer and dryer, and to the right of the window was an old, old, old heavy upright freezer. Thanks Joe for coming over last night to help Matt move all that stuff...it took some major maneuvering for the freezer, and took several hours..



We were hoping the floor looked a little better than this, but weren't too surprised. A lot of the wooden floors, which I LOVE in this house, have a lot of "soft" spots in various places, as you can see here. :) So, this will be "fixed" tomorrow.

Not sure if we will hang around here tomorrow or not? Probably more than likely, then the wedding fiasco begins with rehearsal dinner tomorrow evening. Can't wait.
