The Weekend:

I was really busy over last weekend and didn't get a chance to keep up with my blog.

Friday Night - we went straight to supper after I got home with Piper from the sitter. Went to Cebolla's - had a margarita to kick off the weekend. After supper went to pick up the movies and then headed home. Steve suspected we had another leak with the pool. This time in the yard where the pipes run - because we had a mini swamp in the back yard. The leak guy was coming to our house Friday night at 7:15 so we had to be home. It all worked out good. I had the best intentions to get the girls rooms flipped and Ashley's needed painted! So, Friday night I moved all Ashley's stuff out of her old room and stored it in Riley's room. His room was full by time I got done. I spent from 7-9 moving as much of her stuff out so I could put as much of Piper's in. By time Piper went to bed the only thing left in her old room was her bed, changing table and rocker. Only thing left in Ashley's old room that was Ashley's was her dresser. I had put several of Piper's thing in the room though. Plan was Saturday morning - move Piper's bed and changing table out of her old room and start painting to make it Ashley's room!

Saturday- it was Steve's mom's birthday so he called and invited everyone over for a cook out that night. I really wanted to do it - but I had big plans for the day. So I got to work. I moved the bed and changing table out of the room and started painting. I did a good job - I only had to paint the bottom half it turned out. I was painting her room the yellow color that I had used on the top half of the nursery walls. I thought it wouldn't blend together and I would have to paint the whole walls - but it did! SWEET! By 11 - I was done painting and had my shower already!!

When I put Piper down for her afternoon nap - Steve went to the store for food for that night and I worked my butt off! I got Ashley's room pretty much put together. Bed, with new linens, nightstand, bookcase all moved in her new room. After Piper was awake we moved Ashley's dresser out and the recliner in. By time everybody came over for the cookout - the room was pretty much done except for the closets. I was exhausted. So was Steve, he had to get up at 6 that morning to start pumping water out of the hole where we DID have a leak and work on diggin the hole bigger.

The family came over and we had a cookout for his mom's birthday and had a cake. Everybody went swimming too. Some funnies from the night.... Lilly picked out Gloria's birthday cake - it had a princess crown and wand on it and Lilly picked out Gloria a Barbie princess birthday card! Piper pooped in the pool.

Saturday night after it all chilled out Steve and I watched the movie The Other Boylen Girl. I liked it alot. Steve didn't so much care for it. Friday night we watched 21 ! Awesome movie! Really worth the time!

Sunday - Steve had plans to go biking. He still hasn't been feeling the best but he was determined to go! I called my mom to see what she was up to. Piper and I headed for Huntington. That worked out great. I needed to get her baby bed out of the house. So, I packed it up and took it to Huntington with me. We went down for a visit. We ran over to Wal-Mart to get some fabric for mom's friend to make Piper some pillow cases. I don't like to go to the Huntington Wal-Mart. I see people I know.... and here I was on Sunday in the Wal-Mart with NO MAKE-UP on! I can't believe I went to the HUNTINGTON Wal-Mart period but without makeup - holy shit! After that we went back to my parents and ate some lunch. During lunch I felt a good headache coming on. So, I had to head for home. By time I got home - I made it to the couch and Steve put Piper down for a nap. I slept for 2 hours like Piper did!!

After our afternoon naps, we went to Target. Yes, I was having withdrawl and needed just a few things. With Ashley's big room move she was getting lots of new things, nice new things. I wanted to do something nice for Riley. I told Steve what I was thinking. I was thinking about getting him something we normally would NEVER buy him. The one thing that came to my mind was Guitar Hero game for his Nintendo DS and they had it on sale (if you call that a sale) So, we got him the game.

When we got home from getting the kids, I didn't tell Ashley her room was done - she was surprised when she went upstairs. I asked Riley if he had been in his room yet - and he hadn't. But we heard him when he did go in. He was so excited. He told me he has been wanting this forever! Ashley was very happy with her room but kept telling Piper how big her room was. I think she just meant with all her(Ashley's) stuff out of it. Everybody seemed happy and mom and dad were exhausted!!

Yesterday started the week off for Steve. I just have to work Monday and Tuesday. Since he still isn't feeling good he called and made a dr. appt for today. So, hopefully we will find something out. Him and the kids just kinda hung out yesterday. He had supper cooking when I got home. That was nice and that made our evening feel like forever. We were done eating supper at 6 o'clock! But that was good because we still had to move closets between the girls rooms. I thought it would take forever - but it didn't ! Watched Jon & Kate plus 8 and went to bed! I have Ashley and Riley addicted to the show now!
