Our Life

We had a pretty relaxed, yet busy weekend. We didn't get to do as much as we had planned due to my foot (oh so annoyed with my lack of taking care of things for myself and ending up spending 2 days on the couch!). Saturday morning we decided to go for a drive through the neighborhood simply because there have been numerous garage sales it seems every weekend. We have been wanting some shelves/armoires of sorts in the dining room. I would love to have the boys' school boxes in armoires and put away but easily accessible, as well as things we use on a daily basis. We also want to build/find a kids' table and chairs for the dining room. And we had to leave many of the big and outdoor toys back in Bellevue since we simply didn't have room in the truck, so were hoping to find a climber/slide for the kids. These have been the random things we've kept our eyes out for and we found them all this weekend! I was so excited. We got a climber and four chairs at one garage sale and then found matching armoires for the dining room at another. Mike also found some kid golf clubs (not a full set, I think there are 4 or 5) for like $2 which is perfect to introduce the boys (and Addy when she is bigger) to golf if they want. We probably looked a bit funny, Mike drove around with me and the kids riding but not getting out. Oh the boys did get out to try some scooters - which we ended up taking home too. So then we got to work this weekend on the kitchen for Addy and starting to fix up the chairs. I wasn't thrilled with the pencil look they had and they definitely needed a redo for paint.
We really did get a good bit done, amazing how much you can do sitting down =) which I did a lot of. There's a hole in the kitchen for the sink and now it is fully primed (minus the oven door). The chairs are 90% primed as well. We picked some colors (chopped chive for the kitchen and a bluish color for the chairs and armoires). We also I think figured out a way to repurpose one of the tables that was in the basement in Bellevue to make the kids' table. Some 4x4s and 1x3s should create a solid base which we'll paint to match the chairs. We also went to small group tonight - so it was a busy but good day.
