Saturday morning we had planned on getting up and making our way to Momma and Daddy's for a belgian waffle breakfast with everyone before my little niece was scheduled to attend 2 Easter egg hunts. Morning rolled around and the snooze was hit (more than once...or twice. Okay, okay...I hit the snooze for almost an hour).
When the phone rang to see what my plans were, I was only slightly grumpy before telling my sister that I would call her back in a little while. I dialed my parents' number only to find out that we were rescheduling our big breakfast. Therefore, I decided to pass on the first egg hunt and meet up with my family.
Not too long after, my body told me that it was not going to let me fall back asleep. On top of that, Mr. Ican'twaittodothelandscapingforSpring was planning on meeting his parents for breakfast and to start hunting for a new lawn mower.
With my newly open schedule, I was invited to join him. This resulted in getting ready in five minutes before heading out the door.
We met his parents at the "old house" (they're currently building a new home) and sat down to enjoy a warm breakfast. As soon as we finished, we were back in the car and on our way to scope out mowers.
As I stepped outside, I thought about how dreary it was and how it was too cold for a 3yr old to be out and about hunting eggs. I talked to my sister and requested that we postpone the festivities until next week's events. Then, we kept on trekking.
After 4 or so stops, we made the logical determination that we were going with a Honda. Don't ask me why, but all of the "goods" it offerred was better than the Snapper, Cub Cadet, and the many others we researched. Also, we enjoyed a yummy hot dog from the 50th anniversary cookout at Smith's place...I like them.
We dropped of his dad before heading back to the house. Mr. Handyman started texturing the ceiling until we had to rush out to Lowe's to pick up some more texture and wall paper stripper. Surprisingly, we ran in and ran out with only what we needed (or so we thought).
We rounded the corner for Buffalo Wild Wings when we noticed multiple parking lots were full. Then, we kept driving on until we hit the local Taco Cabana...tortillas and queso...ymmm.
We took it back to the house so that we could work and eat at the same time. That's when it hit me that I forgotten to grab the wallpaper remover from the checkout stand at Lowe's. He worked his arms to death while I worked my mind going through brochures and magazines for hours. Soon enough, he had finished the entire living room and I had officially picked out the color pallette for each of the rooms in the house. The inspiration was an article called, "Vintage Chic" which featured soft corals, sages, and chocolate browns with creams. I cannot wait!
