New Built Ins & Happy St Patty's Day!

The week started with our built ins FINALLY being installed - we had to reschedule the planned date a few times but it was well worth the wait.  Our contractor was here almost 12 hours making sure they turned out just right.  We are very pleased with the final product and even more pleased after this weekend when I decorated them, see the weekend update.

While Clint was working from home to have these beauties installed, Maci was at school having fun with her buddies.  Who doesn't love to paint?!

Our Monday was a jam packed day, in addition to work/school and built ins, we also had Katie Wright visit.  Katie is a friend of Clint's from high school and she was in town for work.  We were so excited she could pop over for dinner and some catch up conversation before heading to her hotel.

Tuesday was Connor's dermatologist check up and they told Clint his skin is looking great so we don't really need to see them any more unless he has a flair up and we want to talk with them.  Otherwise we have a good game plan for his eczema and dry skin.  While they were doing that, I met Maci for the daycare spring party which was Disney themed.  Miss M decided to pick a puppy dog for her face painting - she proceeded to bark the rest of the night - YAY!

The rest of the week fortunately slowed down a bit.  Maci got to enjoy a surprise mystery reader on Thursday, Miss Lindsey.  Miss Lindsey was her former teacher in the earlier pre-school room and she now works at a New Horizon closer to her home.  Maci loved her some Miss Lindsey so was very excited to see her again!  Someone else is mystery reader this coming Wednesday, I need to figure out my book selection :) SHH Don't tell Maci!

Friday was the perfect day for me to work from home, minimal meetings, basketball on TV and lots of laundry calling my name.  I got a lot done at home while the kiddos had a great time in their green at school.  We then enjoyed our usual pizza Friday at home that evening while watching some NCAA excitement!

Saturday - We had the usual dance and then to some errands.  Our last errand took us to Target for the weekly grocery trip but I had also been studying a lot of websites on how to decorate built ins.  I loaded up on all sorts of home goodies for the shelves at Target and I am so proud with the finished product.  It honestly feels like something I could see in one of those pictures online :)

Also Decorated the Fireplace for Easter

That evening we decided to take the kids to Dave and Busters for dinner, games and basketball watching.  Miss M threw some temper tantrums which made the evening not too terribly enjoyable but that was quickly forgotten when she bought a pixie stick and whoopee cushion with her winnings.  The kids loves that stupid fart noise and tries to be tricky but is so obvious when she tries to put it under you HA

We let her get this crazy sugar drink with gummy worms

She thought it was too SOUR - it was straight sugar ICK!

Sunday - Getting lots of little things done around the house while Connor naps and Maci plays in her room.  Clint is enjoying games in the basement and I am about to run some errands.  It is supposed to be almost 60 today so we are hoping to do a playground later today.  In the meantime, we are hoping someone is on their way to pick up our old TV stand from the main living room.  A nice chill Sunday funday around here!

Tomorrow is the start of spring and we can't wait - I want warmer weather, more sunshine and fewer puffy jacket needs!  Let's hope spring temps are here to stay!

We hope all of you have a great week ahead!

Lots of Love,

C, K, M & C
