I loved

the weekend.

This was a good one. Almost perfect if not for this blasted cold I can't get rid of. Friday I dragged the hubs to the Goodwill after he got home from work. See I am really wanting to reupholster something. So I meandered over there to see what rocks-so to speak- I could turn into gems. I found two couches- one for $70 and one for $40- OK, so I am thinking $110 for two couches - sweet! Oh but wait, it gets better. I remembered that Goodwill has a sale every other Saturday and everything in the entire store is 50% off- and guess what, this weekend was THE weekend. So the couches would really be $55 if I could wait til Saturday to purchase them. (and of course be the first one to nab them- you might be thinking easy peasy- but have you ever been to the Goodwill on a Saturday SALE morning? Mayhem I tell you- pure mayhem. There was already a line of people waiting there when I got there at 8:55 Saturday morning!) Well, the hubs wasn't feeling the couches so we decided not to get them. I went to the sale Saturday morning anyways to pick up some cheap frames. After I hit the sale the hubs, me, and baby went out. First stop Costco for what is becoming a staple in our house- Pita chips. Then the hubs said it was my day- I love it when he says this cause it means I can drag him anywhere I want and he can't complain. And out of all the places I could have chosen I decided to hit up more thrift stores. So glad I did. Not only did we have a super fun time but I even found some stuff. A cute little mirror in perfect condition for $4- originally $8. And at the Savers (which can I tell you has an even sweeter sale then Goodwill) a couch that was $40, but was on sale for $20- but, get this, on Monday it will be 99 cents! Ah yea, jackpot! First stop Monday morning- Savers for my 99 cent couch that will be my first victim of re upholstery. We also found the most darling vintage school desk that we want to buy for Rowan. It too is a fixer-upper but we have a vision and it is going to be awesome. We just have to wait for it to go on sale & hope it does not sell in the mean time. Saturday evening was spent eating chips & salsa (we're addicted right now) and laughing with (possibly at) the baby for being just too dang cute. The things that crack this kid up I tell you - hilarious. Sunday I was sick so the hubs went to church and taught our class while I attempted to get some rest (it's hard when the baby is not sleeping). I got our Christmas decor down and in storage so now I can check that off the to-do list. We then proceeded to watch Finding Neverland (gets my water works going every time!) while the hubs put a chair/rocker/swing (yes, it's all 3) together for Rowan. And it made me happy. Sitting there with my boys while the hubs did a fatherly thing for his son. After Rowan fell asleep I was able to finish up my craft- the crayon roll. I again had a happy moment as I sat at my sewing machine. The sewing machine that the hubs just bought for me out of the blue a couple years ago just cause I said in passing that I wanted to learn to sew. What a sweet man. The hubs and I laughed about my silly crafts which he seems to understand how to do better then I do. But he is a dear and supports me and all my crazy ideas and tells me not to give-up. I am so lucky to have two beautiful boys - one who is sleeping away in his crib (and looking cute doing it) and another to snuggle up to in my own bed. What more could a girl ask for? Perhaps a longer weekend.
