While you were out!!!!

Have you ever seen the television show, “While you were out?”?

Well, this past weekend, I decided to do my own makeshift “while you were out” to surprise Sean.  The plan was to think when Sean would arrive back home from a long day of work, he would have to help me rip out our VERY badly stained carpet….yes- we somehow managed to mock a murder scene by spilling red food dye all over our cream carpet.  Anyways, new carpet is on it’s way and we could save by ripping out all of our carpet in the bedroom, loft and two closets on our own.  Once started it seemed like this task would be easy, but little did I realize that I had to take a part the bed, move two dressers, a loveseat with a pull out bed then take the carpet (and padding) down two floors, then out to the dumpster...all before Sean would come home from work; we had 4 hours, and we needed to remain focused to get this task completed.  

Well, the plan worked!  It was great, I called in the recruits; my two nephews and cousin to help with such a task and we did it!  In the midst of not knowing his arrival, we even called to see when he would be home.  

It was a lot of fun, we found that sometimes it’s easier if you would scream really loud.  Even better, if you scream “ouch!!” even though it didn’t hurt.  It just makes you feel better if you say ouch!   

Sean’s reaction was pure shock, and he took us all out to dinner…..Cici’s pizza!  And, the boys even got to play some arcade games!
