Wow am I tired... I overdid it this weekend working at the house. Stupid me for thinking I could still do the things I could before being pregnant. While technically I can still do them - I just can't do them as fast as before. We did get a lot done.
Friday night Nathan and I went picked up a pizza, rented a movie and then went over to the house and had a carpet picnic and watched the movie on my laptop. It was fun, but laying on the floor for two hours was not the greatest thing in the world.
Saturday morning we met my parents for breakfast and them mom and I went to that mom-to-mom sale. I swear we were there at 9:45 (started at 9:30) and it was like a zoo! SOOO many women - apparently you need to get there early if you want to get the good stuff! I got a little reversable spring jacket and shoes and a baby carrier thingy (one of those that is like a backpack, but the baby sits in front.) - all of that for $6. Mom bought me a baby blanket too - it is SO soft. I liked it. That was about it. THen we went and met the boys at the house. My parents really liked it. It was the first time they had been inside. We got a lot of work done. Dad and Nathan are going to paint the garage first (REALLY needs it) plus it will give dad a chance to show Nathan all his little tricks and tips for painting. (My grandpa owned a painting company my dad worked for growing up so he is a VERY good painter!) We are going to re-do the baseboards so we pulled those off too. Mom took downt he wallpaper border in the kitchen and I took down all the outlet covers and such. We did a few other little things, but mostly it was getting organized and going to buy the things we need. We met Kyle, Sarah and Tommy for dinner and then brought them back to see the house. THey really liked it too.
Sunday Nathan and I went over by ourselves and I took down the rest of the wallpaper in the kitchen - kicked my butt! I was so tired and took tons of breaks. Nathan did some stuff outside that was on the inspectors list of things to do, he took down doors, sanded the garage and did some re-mudding where it needed. We did a few other little things and went shopping again - bought paint and priced out other things we still need to buy. Good times.
We'll go back over tonight to do a few small things - won't be there for long. Mom and Dad are coming over tomorrow to work and then we'll take a couple days off before going back this weekend. I think we will start painting so I may stay home and pack while they paint - we'll see.
