Our Weekend

We started our weekend friday evening when we went to Sam's Club and got hot dogs and flooring and gas...not in that order and not the gas that you think....the stuff for the car. LOL. After our adventure, I got to go play Bunco at the neighbor's home. There are several girls who get together every month and have a girls night. I think it's always Bunco. I got one of the booby prizes for my bad score. I am awesome!!! After the game, I stayed and talked with some friends for a long time. It's really night to have people to relate to!!!

When I got home at 11pm, Eric was painting, so I stayed up and painted with him till 2am. We finished painting our room and put our bed back together(no more sleeping on the couch WOOHOO!). I just have to say, what we have so far looks GOOD!!! I will take pictures of it after it is done being decorated. I think we finally got to bed at about three.

We were woken up at 8:30 by Baeya trying to find us downstairs. I hear this "MOMMY!!!!" along with a terrified screaming and crying. Yes folks, she actually likes me! Shocking but true.

At 10:30 Eric left and got instructed on how to install carpet on stairs. At 11:30 we went to Johnny Corino's for lunch with Eric's work for a "New Comers" welcoming. BTW Anyone who comes to visit us just might end up eating there one night! :D At 1pm we went to the Verizon store and signed up for the discounts Eric gets through his work...really nice!!!! BUT it took almost two hours there....the kids were just gems......LOL I THINK THAT IS THE FUNNIEST THING I EVER TYPED!!! Baeya almost died right there in the Verizon store! And Ethan was just exhausted. THEN Eric decides we need to run to Lowe's to pick up some supplies for the stairs.

When we walked into the store it was BARELY snowing. When we walked out 45 minutes later, we had TWO INCHES of fresh snow on our car!!! That makes a total of like 4 or 5 inches this week!!! Luckily it has all promptly melted...Yeah there is really weird weather here in IF!

When we got home, the kids went down for a nap and Eric went to go pick up a futon we bought for $40 on craigslist.com. It's actually in really good condition too! He was gone for about an hour and a half looking for a rental store for a carpet nail gun. I can't believe how many TYPES of nail guns there are! It's mind bottling...yes I said it...mind bottling.

When he got back, I left and got my hair done...and ha ha ha...this is what it was all leading up to...I LOVE MY HAIR!!!! Dina did a GREAT job!!! If anyone needs to go to anyone for hair....GO TO HER!!! I think this is the darkest I have ever gone! So, what do you think?
