Our floors are in and they look great. We are getting used to the new sleek floors and the house is almost back in order. Many thanks to Gran and Pa for entertaining Christian over the weekend while Mommie and Daddy put in hard work getting everything back in place. I even painted the office nook that really needed a fresh coat. We also went on a little shopping spree to get new rugs. The got a DEAL on the large rug for the living room from Lowe's.
Here are the official Before pics:

More on the floors ***UPDATED****
Well progress was made on the floors last night. Our hope is that they will be done so we can stay at home again. (Update: we have another night in a hotel. They missed demoing the tile in the entry way so that will delay them another 1/2 day. Things look good for being done on Friday. We were originally told they would be done on Thursday, so Friday really isn't so bad. That is unless you have been trying to sleep on a HARD hotel mattress being 6 months pregnant and trying to put a 2 year old to bed in a hotel room, with little success.) 
Here is the whole slide show of the pictures for the floors and the rugs I have looked at so far. My favorite rug is the one that looks like a patchwork pattern.
The whole family is feeling the effects of not being in our own house, in our own beds. We are all a little cranky, and the 2 year old isn't the worst one sometimes.
We had several little weird things happen to us yesterday and we just had to laugh. Chris and I both headed to the house for different reason at lunch yesterday. While on the way home, the Le Sabre started overheating....fun! Good thing I was headed home too. So it is sitting in the front of the house waiting for a tow. Guess we will be carpooling the next few days.
We also noticed the floor crew hadn't demo's the entry way tile....hmmm wondering if they remembered that part. hope so!
Then we head to Culver's to grab some lunch before we ran to Lowe's to get some paint ordered. We accidently got someone else's orders...OOPS. Again we just have to laugh. Hope the teenage girls in front of us liked our burgers. We enjoyed theirs.
Then we headed to Lowe's. I ordered paint for the office/hallway area that I will be painting on Friday night and Chris ordered trim paint for the floor crew. That went well. Surprisingly I ended up only taking 1 hour for lunch.
After carpooling home and getting to see the first room with the laminte in it, we headed to dinner and then to the park to let Christian run around. Aunt Sassy met us at the park and chased Christian around. It let Mommy and Daddy have a few mintues to just sit down and rest a little. Aunt Sassy doesn't know how much we needed that.
Christian rewarded Aunt Sassy for her efforts with a sweet kiss, that luckily I captured on film.
We rewarded Christian with a visit to Starbucks were he got his very own shaken green ice tea with syrup (just like Mommie orders). I think it took him about 3 mintues to drink this down. He was busy on the park and needed a little post-park refreshment.
I can't express what a little trooper he has been through all this. He is a little confused when we stop by the house to check on the animals and we don't stay.
Hopefully tonight we can all sleep in our own beds and get a good nights sleep and the crankiness will go away.

Post #100 and Major Changes in the Wenck World
First major milestone....This will be post 100.
Second major milestone...we are getting new floors!!!!!!!
That is the major change in the Wenck World. We are getting new laminate and tile floors. The tile floors are in process of being complete as I type and here is proof. Chris is at home today and I made him send me a picture from his cell phone.
The only area of the house getting new tile is the boys bathroom (guest bathroom) pictured to the right and below.
The laminate floors get installed tomorrow. I am giddy with excitement. We were aren't as brave as the Choates and so we hired a custom flooring company to come in and do everything. We are very happy with the way things have been handled so far. I will right a complete review of them once the whole job is completed.
