What we did this weekend

I have alot to say today as we have been doing alot of the past several days so if you don't want to read a long post....leave now!

We went out to eat Friday night and my husband asked if I wanted to go get paint for the upstairs bathroom. I am always ready to conquer the numerous house projects we got going on so I took him up on it. We picked out a paint that looked gray in color at the store; however, when I painted it the color looked more green. In fact the color almost matches what is in the kitchen and the paints were from two different paint companies! We like how it turned out; however, it bothers me that the colors in the two rooms are so similar. I am not one to keep things the same for too long so I will probably paint one or both of the rooms again in the next 2-3 years or so.

Here is the bathroom before (wall Kilzed):

And after:

There are still a ton of things to do in this bathroom. The vanity and cabinet on the wall will be painted. The sliding shower door will be removed. We are going to put a shower insert in the tub. A new mirror and lighting will be put up and the floor will be tiled. Then of course, once we get all of this work done we are selling the house! But that is still several years off.

On Sunday we went to a BBQ at one of Coach's best friends parents house. The boys went with us and we played several games of volleyball and had some good food.

Sunday night I drug my husband to the movies to see Momma Mia -the sing along version. Oh my goodness! This movie was so written for me. Beautiful setting, fufu costumes, love, romance, tons of dancing and horrible singing. Yes, I was totally in my element! If I would have know about this movie I would have certainly went to the casting call and I am sure I would have got a role. We also saw a preview for a movie called Fireproof that stars Kirk Cameron that I can't wait to see.

I am still trying to learn how to take pictures with my new camera. I am like the world's worst photo taker. Here are some photos I took in my training:

Meet My Family

Coach: My husband who is "obsessed" with sports. If he isn't watching them on TV he is playing them on the PC. Thank goodness his coaching days are over because that was yet another corner of the world he devoted his life to. He will tell you he is not obsessed with ALL sports because he doesn't care for tennis or hockey. Coach doesn't have a romantic bone in his body but still manages to make me feel like I am the princess of the world. =)

Nemo: As in finding .... is our oldest child who is currently out "finding himself". Against the way he was raised and his family's wishes he took off at the age of 17 (is 18 now) to move in with his girlfriend who is BBB (Bleach Blonde Bimbo). I pray to God everynight that BBB does not become my future daughter-in-law someday because I do not know how I can find it in my heart to like her. Nemo has thrown away college, wrecked cars and burnt bridges with his family all because of BBB. I do know he was raised right and I pray he gets his head out of his $#@ and turns his life around real soon.

Energy: Is our second oldest. Energy is somewhat like his father and is obsessed with sports but for the mere fact for something to do. He cannot sit still and must be shooting baskets whether it be outside in the driveway or inside with his Nerf goal. He has even got out of bed after being in bed for 2 hours and came to us and told us he couldn't sleep and felt like "shooting some baskets". Get back to bed! Energy is currently playing his first year of school football and basketball. He is also going through a growth spurt as he wants to eat every 30 minutes!

Cupkayk: Is the only other female in the house besides moi. However, now that she is 13 she likes to be referred to as only "Kayk" which I pronounce like "cake" and she pronounces is like "Kay Kay". Whichever way you say it she is our girly girl who has alot to say and can say it in an extremely dramatic way. She likes clothes, texting and is "in love" with Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers. Kayk is a straight A student and plans on being a teacher and actress someday.

Master G: Is the youngest. Master G stands for Master Gamer. This little fellow has an obsession with video games. If we do not take the Nintendo DS at night time he will stay up all night long playing it. His future hopes are to become a game developer. When Master G can put his video games down he loves to run. Although he is little he is extremely tough and can run fast but we can't get him interested in playing football. If he ever changes his mind his opponents better watch out!

Koko: Is our beloved four legged friend. Part Beagle part Boxer she is a sweetheart, who is afraid of thunderstorms, loves Peanut Butter and Chapstick, and can bark your dog under the table any day!
