Visit with the smiths

Our visit with the Smiths was short and sweet, not that it has to be that way but it was, they were only here for four days. Anyways, the kids had a great time seeing the grandparents. There wasnt that much time between preschool runs, and when Eric and I had to work, we did have time for bonding with our new dog abbey, visits to our panera and out shopping. Barb made us a couple great dinners which was yummy and awesome. Eric and I got to go on a date, we decided to go to the mall into all the stores we'd never set foot in with kids, anything with small parts, breakable and expensive. Anyplace with a water feature or a hazard, it was fun and we felt a sense of freedom in it. Then we went back to the house, put the kiddos to bed then went back out to a movie. First movie we've been to in a theater in like a year! It was a good night for us. Thank you smiths, then they watched the kids one day all day for us and we painted the ceilings and walls of our living room and kitchen. It was a hard effort because the two walls that had wallpaper needed dif and scraping, the other ones needed tsp to be cleaned. Lots and lots of prep time! But the first coat looks great! Next weekend the second coat will go on, and we'll be finished. our house is feeling refreshed!

Hope you all had a great weekend. Take care!
