Ok...ok... I am way overdue to give an update!!

I thought it was time to publish a post about our finally finished basement. When we bought this house last year, it had an unfinished basement. We figure it to be an additional 1200 square feet. We went to work on it soon after we found out my family was coming to visit before Christmas. Janin and his dad did most of the work themselves. We had a family member help with the dry walling. It was a lot of very late nights and lots of noise in my final month of pregnancy but so worth it. We now have an additional bedroom, bathroom, entertainment room, slide/play structure for the kids and storage areas. I can't say enough about how great it is to be married to a man who can do things like this. He is such a helpful, creative, handy person to be married to.

When we moved into this house, Janin had the idea to build a slide for the kids in the basement. Originally it was going to start in the boys room closet upstairs and then they would slide from their room into the basement. It ended up not going to work. So he and his dad build a play structure with the slide and a fireman pole for the kids to use all year round! It is awesome!!! I would also like to note... my awesome husband decorated the basement bathroom all on his own!!
