VIRTUAL TOUR OF OUR BASEMENT!!!

So, we finally finished our basement after who knows how long. John did close to 95% of the work. We did have to take in account his 11 month maternity leave when I was pregnant with Gabby. Despite what he says, John has just as much OCD as he claims I do, just in a different way. He was a perfectionist. At times it drove me a little crazy, but know his hard work paid off. This is probably the most finished room, because it has a bed and dresser. Cameron loves his new bedroom and has no problem sleeping down there by himself.
Enjoy the tour!!!!
Of course, the first thing we, and I mean my husband, had to purchase and set up was our TV. Unfortunately all we have is beanbags to sit on.

Soon to be office/den/homework area/storage room.
I am taking any suggestions for decorating ideas!
This is my favorite room. I am so so so glad to have the toys out of the kids' closets. This room definitely has the most furniture.
Mitch practicing his peeing in the toilet. Potty training, how dreadful!
So grandpa decided to venture out and take some of the grand kids ice fishing. It sounded a little to cold for me. They headed out to Devils Creek, and Cameron had the time of his life. He didn't stop talking about it for days.
Here they are doing their dance and song ritual around their ice hole to call all the fish to the top.
Cameron and Ellie's pride catches. It was the first time Cameron had gone fishing and he had more questions then we could stand to answer. We had trout for dinner and surprisingly my kids loved it.

The basement looks awesome. That was a risky move to get purple carpet, but I think it turned out.(j/k)
