Today was such an amazing, beautiful day! The weather was fantastic, spirits soared and Shane and I got to spend the entire day together.
For the first time in a while I had enough energy to work on the house. I tweaked with the living room decorations, dusted and swept. The room needed a nice splash of color so I finished of the feel with two vases of fresh cut lilacs and a large vase of Japanese Maple branches. Our living room has become far too neutral and brown.
Shane mowed the lawn, which happens to look fantastic after a strategic seeding in early spring. He then he fixed my car that had decided to start over heating again yesterday. Cross your fingers that it continues to stay at a nice even temperature.
We then hopped in the Benz and went in search of great deals on baby gear. This, of course, meant hunting for yard sales! The first place we went was a gold mind! I am actually kicking myself for not getting more. We got two awesome large Lamaze plush toys that can be hung from a play gym. One is a dog and the other is a butterfly both covered in all kinds of great textures, colors and sounds. We also got a nice shopping cart cover and a really cute pair of 3-6mo cargo pants. After an hour of heavy-duty wash everything looks look great, the toys actually look brand new!
The most amazing part is we got it all for only $4.50!
We search around for several hours and didn’t find any more great stuff but we enjoyed the time together.
Once we got home I was so swollen and sore I had to lay down for an hour before I could anything. Once I had a bit of energy back and had slightly human looking feet I managed to clean the kitchen, pick up the bathroom and touch up the living room.
Shane spent the rest of the time putting together yummy BBQ veggies for dinner.
I am so lucky to have Shane. He has been a godsend. He cooks me dinner all the time and he keeps the kitchen tidy. One thing that I really can’t do these days is empty the dishwasher. It just kills my back! He does it every day with out complaining and I just love it.
