Busy, Busy, Busy

Last week was crazy busy, sorry for the lack of blogging. B.J. had the week off of work and we had plenty of home improvement projects going on. We got a late start since Monday we had to take Mia to the doctor, she had a weird bacterial infection on her head. There were small crusty bumps that oozed, they were gross, so her doctor wanted us to bring her in. She is all better now, we had some ointment and washed her head with an anti-bacterial soap. She did develop a cough and runny nose a few days later. No fever so I don't think it was anything serious, she was very crabby though, so I didn't get anything done the first few days.

Tuesday B.J. and I went to dinner for our anniversary (3 years!). Luckily our babysitter was available during the week. We went to McCormick & Schmick's and had some delicious seafood. Also some killer desserts!

We got a new front door, one with a window, and that needed to be painted. Twice. Two different colors. The first one was too bright a green, you could see it from down the block! It was like a beacon calling us home, and also a bit embarrassing. Now it is a nice forest green color. We also installed a new eco-friendly inside light above the door. That was a huge pain to put in, but it will save us money on our electricity bills.

B.J. waterproofed our privacy fence, luckily we were able to borrow a sprayer from a guy he works with. If we had to hand brush it, it would have taken a month! My big project was painting the kitchen. It is now no longer bright yellow, but now a nice shade of light cream. We just need to replace all the light fixtures and get a new refrigerator. That will have to wait since yesterday we ordered a new dining room table and chairs. All in good time, no need to fill up the credit card before Christmas.

On Saturday Anne came down from Ann Arbor to hang out for the weekend. We went to see Dashboard Confessional in concert at the Newport. Fantastic show! Sunday my parents came over and we all went to lunch at Scrambler's, which was delicious.

That's about it, this week is much more relaxed. I still need to finish painting one wall of the hallway between the living room and the kitchen, but I ran out of paint. I think that will wait until the weekend. I think this is the longest post I have ever done, so I will stop boring all of you. Have a great week!
