Weekend Wrap-Up

 This weekend was certainly a busy one for us...again. It seems like weekend always are busy these days. Is it only us? We headed out Friday evening for dinner and to get paint for our weekend project; painting the living room. While Stephen was showering I snapped the much awaited bump photo that many of my readers have asked for in the past week:

I am almost 19 weeks in this picture and feeling rather large...I know it's only going to get worse...the important thing is that the baby is growing and thriving!

Louie felt left out and wanted some picture action too:

How sweet is he?

We had dinner at Culver's before shopping at Wal-Mart. Sometimes I like Culver's and sometimes I really don't. On Friday, I really didn't. Stephen loved his burger though and the few bites of his that I had were wonderful. That's what I get for trying to be healthy and ordering their new Asian salad. Take my word for it, it looks good in the picture but it is not good in real life. Promise.

Saturday morning the work started in the living room. Stephen's Dad came over around 8 and they got right to work. One wall in our living room had some damage from a leaky roof prior to us purchasing the home. The paint on that wall was peeling so it needed scraped. Then it also needed some drywall compound and sanding. It was more work that I would have ever imagine and I am so thankful that Dave and Stephen were able to take care of it! The painting went on almost all day, and well into the night/early morning for Stephen. I believe he came to bed around 1am Sunday morning...1am after the time change, so really 2pm. Yikes!

Some pictures from Saturday:

You can see in some of the above pictures that the color of the room was a dark tan color. It really wasn't a bad color, but with our carpet and furniture being tan I just felt it was too much tan. I also wanted a lighter, brighter color to brighten the room. Watching the new color go up always excites me!

While the men worked on Saturday, Louie and I were on the couch for the most part. I think that Louie really enjoyed all the snuggle time with me and I really enjoyed reading my book! :)

Sunday morning we woke up to dry walls and a messy living room! Since neither of us really slept in (thank you time change), we had plenty of time before church to put the living room back together, hang things back on the walls and clean up the painting mess. I am so glad that we were able to get this done before church, because the only thing on our agenda for Sunday afternoon was resting and watching movies. That is just what we did!

I snapped some photos with my phone before we left for church, so these aren't the best but you can tell the difference and see the new color. What do you think?

Like I said, on Sunday afternoon we watched movies. 3 actually. Well, I slept through half of the first one and Stephen slept through half of the second one, but still! We have actually been watching lots of Christmas movies trying to find a family friendly option to show at church in December for a family movie night. We need something family friendly and something that will hold the kids attention...any ideas? The one we tried this weekend might fit the bill, but I cried at least 3 times during it so we would need to make sure the sanctuary was well stocked with tissues!

On Saturday we also took Louie to the vet for a heart worm re-check, but more on that another day this week!

Today is the day we find out Baby D's gender. I am so anxious...totally not sure if I will get anything done today while waiting for this appointment. It is at 2pm, please pray with us that Baby D is healthy and that we can determine the gender today! :)

Happy Monday!
