The Perfect Weekend

Today was a beautiful day! Isn't it amazing how inspiring the right kind of weather can be? I felt like I had enough energy to do all of the projects on my to do list. How come it doesn't last when the weather starts to be nice everyday though?

So we made a punch list of things we needed to do to finish up the theater room and went to Hope Depot for supplies. Lo and behold we bought what we needed and now with a few minor exceptions the project is almost done.

Well wait, let me go back and start from the beginning. Friday we started out by going to the library for Mother Goose on the Loose for singing and all that jazz. We left there to pick up the travel swing I found online. Whenever I get around to putting together my list of essentials I'll put on there having a swing or bouncer on every floor so you always have somewhere to put baby in a pinch. So I get to the lady's house and she's like oh you know, could you use a bouncy seat? I was like I already have one but she went on and on about how her kids loved it and even though it doesn't vibrate anymore they still loved to look at the fish and stuff and on and on so I relented. Of all the thousands of dollars of baby gear that we have what do you think she likes the most? The free bouncy seat that doesn't vibrate anymore. It turns out that as far as bouncy seats go the one we have is very stiff this one (I think it's an ocean wonders one or something like that) is like a glorified coat hanger. So when she kicks her legs it bounces vigorously. Our other one doesn't do that. Anyway we must have done something after that but I can't remember now.

At any rate, back to Saturday. So we went to Hope Depot and got the rest of the carpet tiles and another gallon of paint and miracle of miracles the theater is done! Well, ok, with the exception of some finish work but it's so much more comfortable than it was before. I love it! If only we could get down there to watch a movie. We watched Little Miss Sunshine and Stranger Than Fiction this weekend but neither on the big screen. Both were great movies. I love Toni Collette. We took the dogs to the park too, they loved that. Best of all, Chase slept 6 hours straight last night. She never even woke up and needed soothing. Of course I didn't get to bed til 1 so I still only got 2 hours. I never learn. I think we'll settle on between 8 and 9 as a suitable bedtime.

Today we took it easy, we got a slow start and lazed around in bed for a while. Eventually we got ourselves together (me and Chase that is) and went to the mall for a while and then to Trader Joe's. It was so nice out today it's unbelievable. Best of all for Sunday... we didn't go to Costco! I was feeling a little bit like a slave to wholesale pricing. :)
