Weekend Recap

Monday already!!

This weekend flew by but I feel like we got a lot done.

Friday night we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner, we've had a gift card for over a year and haven't used it and after eating there I wish we had more gift cards.

I forgot how good it was and of course the girls were happy because they had pizza.

Afterwards the girls wanted to ride the "choo choo monga express" that's what the train is called at our mall.

Anyway I told them that they could go on with daddy while I ran into Pottery Barn, Kayla quickly replied with "okay, maybe next time we can all go as a family".

Ummm, No we go as a family tonight!

How do I not go after that?

  It was worth the $9.00 it cost us and listening to Kayla laugh so hard she couldn't breath plus I actually got a picture of them both looking at the camera at the same time ;)

After a short ride on the 'choo choo' train I dragged the family to Anthropologie so I could use my last gift card from my birthday.

I picked up these towels I had been wanting

and this cute little basket to fill with strawberries or a numerous amount of other things,

On Saturday morning Kayla had a t-ball game at 9am and the rest of the day was spent running some errands and relaxing.

It was supposed to rain all day Sunday so I wanted to get everything done so I could spend Sunday in pj's relaxing all day.

Of course when we woke up on Sunday morning there wasn't a cloud in the sky.

I made our Sunday morning breakfast which was Chocolate Chip Waffles.

After everything was cleaned up I sat down to catch up on some blog reading when I decided I think today is the day I want to paint the Living room.

So I told the hubby my plan and he was just as excited as I was, weren't ya babe?

I told him I was sick of wanting to do it for the past 2 years and I was just going to get it over with.

Off I went to Home Depot and at about 10:30 we started painting, we actually got it all done pretty quick.

By 6:00 we were done, good teamwork!

It looks so much better and now I don't have to walk by the room everyday and think

'I need to paint this room'

The paint color before was a dark brown and this room doesn't get much light so it always seemed so dark to me.

Now it's so much brighter and looks a lot bigger.

We painted it Silver Sage by Restoration Hardware and it's a gray/green/blue depending on the lighting in the room.

I've been in love with this color for the past 8 years but just never knew exactly where I should put it.

I always thought it would go in my all white kitchen but since I don't have an all white kitchen it will have to do in the living/dining room for now.

 I'm glad I love it as much as I did before considering sometimes once you get it up on the wall you change your mind which is not fun after spending all that time painting!

So even if I didn't get to spend my Sunday in pj's relaxing like I had planned it still ended up being a good weekend.
Now I need to get back to doing all the cleaning I didn't do this weekend
