4 day weekend!!

Oh how I love 4 day weekends! Although this weekend has been more work than play. But I am happy to report we are really close to being able to put our house up for sale. I got alot done on my check list thanks to a home depot gift card I got for Christmas. -thanks Mom!
Friday, I started (and finished!) the baseboards in our upstairs bedroom ALL BY MYSELF. My Dad taught me well. I am a master carpenter! Take a look:
Friday night, Charlie went over to Aunt Jes' for a slumber party. While Chuck and I had our own adult slumber party at our house. Friends came over in their PJ's and we played Xbox 360 Kinect, and other games. Just Dance 3 literally kicked my ass. I woke up with sore butt checks!!

Saturday, it was back to work on the house. I started the baseboards and door trim in the bathroom, this time I did not finish up until Monday due to difficulties...nothing a little liquid nails couldn't fix. My bathroom is now completely finished! And then Charlie and I finished up the evening with a movie and some cuddle time.
Sunday, I woke up to flowers!! Chuck and I decided to celebrate our 4 year Anniversary a day early since Chuck had to work on our actual Anniversary. So we dropped Charlotte off with Uncle Scotty, and went out for dinner. We have been together for over 7 years and have never been to Chuck's favorite restaurant- Red Lobster. I have never really been a fan of seafood, but I actually REALLY liked it. Except the part where we ate so much it hurt ;) I tried lobster and crab legs for the first time.yum. But I think my favorite part of the meal had to be the biscuits. oh man are they good. Plus, with my diet I have not had one single carb is over 2 weeks. It tasted like heaven!
After dinner we made an impulse stop at Best Buy and picked up a new laptop. Our last computer finally gave up on us. Luckily, it was after I moved all my pictures and videos over to an external hard drive. It is nice to finally have a laptop that is actually portable. The screen on our last one broke after the first 30 days and we never got around to replacing the screen since it wasn't covered under the dang warranty. So we had to plug our laptop into my old/huge desktop monitor. We learned our lesson this time and purchased the additional warranty that covers ANYTHING & EVERYTHING, with a brand new replacement computer. So in two years, we plan to crack our screen on purpose, so we can get a brand new laptop. Smart thinking.

Monday, more work on the house. Finished the last of the baseboards, painted, caulked- For the very last time in this house, whoo hoo.  We even had time to walk to the park on this 60 degree day in January. Charlotte has really been enjoying going down the slides by herself.


This blog is missing my main ingerdient- pictures of Charlie! Here are some bath time pictures from this past week. Lately, Charlie has been swimming on her belly in the bathtub. I think next weekend we might try an indoor pool for some real swimming. I hope her swimsuit still fits!


Oh! And Charlie has been in her big girl toddler bed for a week now. She's such a big girl.

Overall a pretty good weekend....EXCEPT- I drove into the tree in front of our house and knocked my mirror completely off. waaa!
Back to work tomorrow....BOOO! What I wouldn't give to be a stay at home mommy.
