Short!

Unlike most weeks, I worked on Friday to make up for being off Monday with my parents and Jason. So this was a really short weekend!

Tyler survived being grounded... and I think he might have learned his lesson! He has been having a hard time listening to people lately - his parents, his grandparents, his teacher and even his brother. Hopefully the thought of being grounded again will help his ears work a little better.

I realized that I had not yet showed you our finished patio. Oops! We've been working really hard on the garden - I'm growing a vegetable garden from seeds (except for four tomato plants) and so far only the green beans have sprouted. They are growing really quickly though so it's fun for the boys to watch. Aren't they cute?

We have had a fun weekend. Saturday I skipped my workout because my iPod was dead... so we did a half ass clean (read: we used Lysol wipes to clean the bathrooms and kitchen, a swiffer duster to half ass dust and then half ass vacuumed). Then we headed down to Shawn's parents' house to pick up his mom and our niece and headed to the Farmer's Market. Even the boys love a Farmer's Market because of the samples and friendly people... it's always a fun way to start spring! Next, we couldn't be so close without going to lunch at Croc's. Besides, my Mother-in-law had never been there! It was my duty to introduce her to our favorite downtown restaurant! :) Next we spent some time with Shawn's parents before heading to see a movie at Harkins. They have a kid center there so we didn't have to worry about a babysitter and the kids had a blast while we were being entertained! It was a pretty good movie, but then again I'm not usually disappointed where Zach Braff is concerned!

Today we ran around all morning like chickens with our heads cut off... While we were at Home Depot we looked through the paint rejects ($5 each!) and found a gallon of paint in a color we'd been wanting to use to paint the powder room, so we picked it up. Fortunately for me, the bathroom is too small for both of us and I'm too short to paint 10' ceilings, so Shawn painted while I planted seeds and worked on my garden. It's hard to see the color well here and it's not quite dry yet, but here's a pic of it in progress...

So now we have two rooms that don't have white walls... I'm not sure what we'll paint next, though we have some colors picked out so it's just a matter of time now that spring is here and we can open up the windows a bit!
