Since many of our family and friends (read most of them) have not seen our house I thought I would do a Holiday Home Tour. Now you get to see the good, the bad, and the boys rooms.
I will start with our living room. Notice how I was able to avoid taking a picture of the T.V. I think Doug was watching something with the holiday spirit like Dirty Jobs. We spent 45 minutes walking around smelling trees until we found what we thought was most smelly....in a good way. What???? That's not how you select your tree?
Now we move on to the dinning area. These rooms are long and narrow so instead to trying to fit my large furniture in the traditional areas we have moved thing around to fit us. We enjoy having the fireplace by our table with a chair to snuggle into while reading a good book. Plus I have a beautiful mantle to decorate and hang our stockings with care.
The kitchen....what more can you say. Although this is where I spend most of my time (making breakfast, lunch, and dinner) it is not the most exciting room.
Now to the upstairs. We have this great loft area that we turned into an office/play room. The idea is that the boys don't have any toys in their rooms but as you will soon see that doesn't happen.
The boys rooms. First I would like to point out this is what my boys think is "clean" when I say clean up your rooms. Let me put blame where blame is due. The mess is Nate's. Matt does attempt to keep his room clean but when you have Nate as a roommate, it next to impossible. I am sorry to all future missionary companions, college roommates, and most importantly future wife. Next you can now see why I just avoid these areas all together. It is much easier to just shut the doors than to have to continual fight about having clean rooms. After all, I don't have to live in them.
On to the master bedroom. Since this is a room I live in it is clean. Notice the plastic skull with the captain ABU hat sitting on top of it. That is Doug contribution to decorating. How would you like to wake up to that every morning? (a personal favorite)
Now I know I have missed a few rooms but I can't see where anyone would really like to see a bathroom unless you are buying the house. Or the garage full of all Doug's stuff. If you do then you will just have to visit.
