You know when you have to put time off in for work? Well, this weekend I felt like we had to do that for everyone in our lives! We needed at least a whole day to ourselves! Michael and I have made of a list of everything we have to do before Aprilish. I am going to work on things during the week I think. Just doing a few hours of tasks a night will make the weekends a lot more open!
Michael took the day off Friday to be with the munchkin! They had a fantastic day together. Jake had to tell me all about it when they picked me up from work. Jake couldn't stop talking about how he got to drive the car at Home Depot. I swear, we live at Home Depot! I love that place! Jake loves to drive the car carts around. When he was napping Michael stepped into a new world for himself. We have had this huge dent/hole/large crack in our wall since 2007. Michael was moving something and it went through the wall. We will not discuss this incident any further. Well we got it appraised and it was going to cost about $100 to fix, paint and texture the wall. Whatever. Michael being Michael did some research and decided to fix it himself. If it didn't work, we would have the guy come and fix it anyways. Well it worked like a charm! He sanded it down, patched it, and even textured it. It looks amazing!! You can't even tell it's been done! He then got patch work happy and fixed everything! It's fantastic! He's such a hand-man! I love it! I got home from work and was completely surprised. Some may think this is a ridiculous gift, but to me, it's perfect! Thursday while Jake took a nap, I taped the whole entry way. After we ate dinner, I got very excited and started painting! We weren't going to start till Saturday but I was too excited. By nine we had 100% of the walls trimmed and 75% painted with the first coat! Ugh, such a relief! Michael and I had a painting date! We turned up the tunes and had a blast! I love that we can make anything we do fun! He's so my other half it's ridiculous! I love him so.
I love him even more because I went to bed at 10 Friday night and he let me sleep till 10 in the morning Saturday! Yes, I was lame and went to bed at 10 on Friday, but we had a very busy week! We only had dinner at our house once last week! We were lucky to have friends open their doors to us! Anyways. I got up, ate some breakfast and by 3:30 we had the whole entry way painting and I even painted the hallway on the main floor. I did that area all by myself. Start to finish! I felt extremely proud! Plus I did it in 2 hours! Michael made fun of me because when I took off the light switches on both walls, I put the screws and the faceplates in a baggie and labeled them. What?! I like to be organized and know what goes where! We then had a real date night of dinner and a movie. We went to see that Percy Jackson movie. Michael really wanted to see it. His kid side coming out! I'm lucky the movie didn't give me nightmares! The kid that played Percy, reminded me of Zac Efon with a pinch of Harry Potter. I loved it because Owen Hunt was in it. Okay, so his real name is Kevin McKidd but still. Something about that man. He's Scottish, so he has an accent. Reasons why I love Clive and Gerald. We then stayed up to about midnight watching "Couples Retreat". I loved this movie! I will now have to go out and buy it! So fantastic! I then stayed up till 2 watching a movie on TV that we own. How ridiculous is that?! Oh well.
Ok, all I can say is there are giant beavers and mean running around with canoes on TV. This has to be Canada....wow. If you could only hear Michaels roaring laughter. Wow, just plain, wow! Beavers, Buble, Lumberjacks, Little Men in Canooes a kid as a hockey puck, inflatable Mounties...wow, just wow.
