So the weekend wasn't exactly as we had planned......

Around 12 on Friday I got a call from the kids’ school- Charlie wasn’t feeling well- complaining that his stomach hurt.  They said they knew something was wrong b/c for the 1^st time ever Charlie Stevens refused lunch.  Lunch is his favorite part of the day (per a questionnaire that he took).  Got him home, relaxed on the bed watching a movie and it seemed like he was getting worse.  Took him to the quick clinic—nothing! By the time we left there seemed like he was feeling better- and by 7:30 that night he says “yeah I think I’m ready for that chicken sandwich (which is what they had at school that day for lunch and were nice enough to wrap his up for him to take home) now.  J The rest of the weekend he was fine! Needless to day I didn’t make my sleepover at my sisters that night L. 

We ordered some really cool canvas pictures a few weeks ago and I have been so excited to hang them.  Mike informs me that the only way we are hanging them is if we repaint our living room—which we have wanted to do for a LONG time now.  Since the pictures will be here soon; I wanted to speed up the painting process and last night we got busy.  I started patching up some of the holes and with hammer in hand decided to pull out all the nails that we no longer used.  Turns out a “nail” with grooves in it that fit a screwdriver is not actually a nail but a screw.  This was also a “special” screw as it was attached to a toggle.  What do I do?? I try to pull it out-- J Thank goodness I had been patching up these holes all evening—it was prep work for having to fill in my crater I created!!! J

If you all could have seen mikes face and how hard he had to try to remain calm!!  And he did. 

In the end our talk about the repaint of the living room turned into ripping down wallpaper in all sorts of rooms, holes, patch work, paint, tape…. I would say we started something here and now there is no turning back!

So although the weekend wasn’t exactly as we planned… it turned out way better!! J

since i try to include pictures- i didnt have one from this weekend- so i thought i would put this one from em's 1st bday!! :) enjoy!
