Unplanned Weekend House Project

Scott is becoming more of a handyman all the time.  He has learned to fix so many things around the house, and I think he really likes it. We were planning to go to Pittsburg last weekend.  We were all packed up and actually ON OUR WAY when Brooke started throwing up.  We went home and cleaned her up and set off again, thinking she just put her fingers down her throat or ate too much breakfast, but she threw up again!  So we went back home, sat in disappointment for a while, and then decided to start a project in the house.  I say "we", but it was all Scott. 
 
(And Brooke was fine the rest of the day.  Ate and drank like normal.  I guess we just weren't supposed to go to Pittsburg!  God must have been protecting us from something!)

 
This is what the steps looked like before.  We actually rememberer to take a before picture! They were very shiny, squeaky, and slippery.

Ahhh, much better.  They aren't shiny anymore!  And they are a little darker too.  We wanted them to be even darker, but the type of wood it is didn't take the stain very well and this is as dark as it would get.  They don't creak and squeak as much either!
