I am sorry that I neglected the blog this past week. It has been a whirlwind! I really don't feel like a whole week has gone by...But, here we are back at Friday again. Wow, life really needs to slow down. I'll give you a quick recap of what we have been up to since last Friday.
We started the weekend paint shopping and prepping for our big Paint-A-Palooza weekend. After deciding on the three colors for the rooms downstairs and piling the cart full of the many needed accessories we had to get out of Home Depot to save the bank account ;) and get Lucas some much needed R&R. Saturday morning bright and early my brother John and Justin arrived to kick off the festivities. John loves to paint and does a great job so we were ecstatic to have his help. Especially since Todd feels his abilities are lacking and we also have Lucas to entertain! So the more the merrier! In fact, two more wonderful friends came over to help out too, bless their sweet souls ;) Maria and Kevin joined in that afternoon and in no time flat we had a freshly painted family room, kitchen, and primered dining room. Dad came down too to stain Lucas' bookshelf, there is nothing as fantastic as team work I tell you! I cannot thank them all enough for every bit of help, be it with Lucas or painting, we could not have done so much on our own!!!! Sunday, John and I got rolling again and knocked out the dining room and he did the hall bath. Justin helped too, he got to paint some primer, and decorated a beautiful birdhouse for aunt Heather! Plus he played tons with Lucas, I know Lucas enjoyed every minute of that.
We of course took moments out for fun too. Lucas got to go swimming in his pool, practice his so almost there crawling skills, and of course he eats like a champ, baby food is almost out the door completely. John made blueberry pancakes for breakfast Sunday morning, yummy!
We were whipped starting out the week and it just seemed to continue with our normal weeknight activities. I really think that 40 hours of work per week is totally overrated, especially when you have to add in lunch, driving to and from....depressing is the word that comes to my mind. I can think of a bazillion other things I would rather be doing!!! :) Work has just been really busy for me this week. Not much downtime at all and it seems like that will only be getting worse because we are understaffed right now, help is desperately needed! :( I digress....
So here we are again, it is Friday and I am so thankful for that! We are excited to go have dinner with one of my college roomies/sorority sisters/really good friend who I don't keep in touch with nearly enough!!! :) and her hubby. I will try to get one of the nice waiters to take our picture and share it next week. As for the rest of the weekend you ask? Well we get a slight reprieve tomorrow, we won't start painting until the evening hours when John and Karen get here. Until then Lucas and I will return to Home Depot for more paint....relax and play with daddy and the furry friends...and start paint prep....exciting, huh?
But I am psyched to have gotten so much painting done is such a short time frame. We are tackling our bedroom and bathroom this weekend, wish us luck!!! ;) Only two more weeks until vacation and we are looking so forward to it!!!!!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend!!!
