Friday Night at the Parr Home

Friday night late party at the Parr Family Home. Maegan and her two friends Brooklyn and Lexi made a treat they learned in TLC Foods class. You take a biscuit and marsh mellow and Cinnamon/sugar and roll it and bake it. I totally remember making these in middle school. How funny. They had fun.



So for the family room the carpet was coming on Saturday morning . We had pulled out all of the carpet and we had carpet coving around the walls. I really wanted baseboard. So luckily we looked up in the bonus room and there was some molding - enough to do the family room with baseboard.
So at 5:00 Rob started panting the base board. We were having a neighborhood party out front and so we were visiting and our good friend Dan Gearhart asked if he could help Rob. Dan is a professional door maker etc. Very good work. So at 9:00 p.m Dan shows up with this big cutting saw table and ready to help. Mike Warren was also there to help, another one of our good friends. So the wives, Tiffany and Collen and I were able to visit and have fun just hanging out with each other. It is so nice to have such wonderful friends who share their skills to help each other out. We are very blessed with a wonderful neighborhood and wonderful friends.
So it was midnight when we were all finished. We helped pack up Dan's tools and we now had the baseboards that are PERFECT in every way done by 3 wonderful guys. Thank you for all your help. We love it.

Then on Saturday Morning the carpet came and Brother Rod Parry installed it. He started at 7:30 and did the pad and was done with everything by 11:15. Love it, Love it. It is SO soft and makes the room look brand new. don't you think....Rob said he had to take this picture of me because I was so excited of the new look.


We have all the furniture moved back in and it looks like a brand new house. Thank you for all those that helped on this project. We love it. You can tell the kids love it. They all want to play on it. In fact, Heidi fell asleep on the carpet yesterday. Funny.
