After work we went over to Rich and Tif's to hang out with them, Jacob and Ken. We had some dinner and played with Jacob before he went to bed.
On Saturday, we were up and out early. We were originally supposed to go swimming but we had more storms so those plans got ruined. We decided to take advantage of the crappy weather and ran a bunch of errands. We went to breakfast, Home Depot, Whole Foods, Costco, Target and Lowes. We also did some carpet shopping. We are looking into replacing all of the carpet in our house. Everything is crappy builders stock that we didn't get to choose. It's really starting to show wear so we want to get it done.
After running around for a few hours we headed home to unload everything. We decided we wanted to do some baking and make a big pot of marinara sauce to freeze for dinners. Michael made homemade marshmallows to make s'mores pops and s'mores bars. We also got the sauce started.
While we were doing some cooking Michael heard from Rich and he asked if we wanted to come over for dinner. We decided on having an appetizer night. Luckily we had bought some stuff that would work so we didn't have to run back to the store. Michael made BLT's, I made a new recipe for pizza pull-apart bread and then we made the s'more pops and bars. Recipes coming this week for the new items!
Tif made Taco dip and Ken made his famous cream cheese rolls. It was all very yummy! After dinner we just hung out, played with Jacob and then watched a movie. Jacob was cracking us up as usual. I actually remembered my big camera too so I got some pictures.
I think Jacob's favorite part though, was dessert! He was loving the s'mores bars I made. He was grunting and screaming for more! He had it all over his face, it was hilarious.
This morning we woke up to more storms. The whole house was shaking from the thunder, it was pretty crazy. We laid in bed for a while waiting for the storm to pass. We finally got up and moving and then we headed out again to run some errands. We went to breakfast and then headed to IKEA. We wanted to get there right when it opened because it tends to get a little crazy on the weekends. We got in and out in under 30 minutes which was really fast.
We went to IKEA to get a TV stand for the man den. We wanted to expand the office in there and needed more space to put things on. The TV was on our filing cabinet before and we bought a new printer that we wanted to put on the filing cabinet instead. We came home and started putting together the new TV stand.
Now we have plenty of room on the desk and the printer and router fit perfectly on the filing cabinet. The new TV stand came out great too. Another project done!
I did find a few other accessories at IKEA while we were walking through. I found a few cool picture frames and some candle sticks I can use on our mantle or in a tablescape.
After we were done putting together the TV stand, we put our marinara sauce that we started on Saturday back on the stove to continue cooking. We had some lunch and then next up was blind installation. I ordered the same white blinds that we have down in the man den for the windows in our living room, master bedroom, master bath and the guest bedroom. We only got the living room done today, the rest will have to wait until next weekend. They came out really nice, it just finishes everything off.
After the blinds we were both pretty wrecked and we both conked out on the couch for an hour or so. After we woke up I made some homemade turkey meatballs to go along with the marinara we cooked all day. We also bottled up all the extra sauce to freeze for future dinners. I love doing this because for $15 we made enough sauce for 11 dinners. Plus, it's my sauce and I know what's in it. It was a really yummy Sunday dinner.
The rest of the night we have just been relaxing. We got a lot accomplished this weekend. Hopefully the weather will be nicer next weekend and we will get to be out and enjoy it instead of working in the house! I hope all of you had a great weekend and have a good week ahead!
