Like I had hoped when I typed last week's post, the first full week of 2016 was a success!!  The basement is more or less finished (the carpet is in, there's just a few odds and ends left to finish up) which means all of the toys are back downstairs!  Which means the main level is no longer a disaster zone (I cannot wait to get my hands on my cleaning supplies to REALLY clean it up) and no one puked this past week!  Like I said--SUCCESS!!!

Pictures of the basement have to wait until the electrician comes and everything is fully finished :-)
