Weekend Recap

We had a fun and very productive weekend. On Friday after work we headed over to Rich and Tif to hang out with Tif and the kids. Rich and Ken were at a corned beef dinner they go to every year. We had fun playing with the kids. We also had most of the things that they bought in Disney since we could put them in our car so they didn't have to bring them home on the plane. Makayla modeled her new Mickey ears and was cuddling with her new Minnie Mouse doll.

On Saturday we met up with Michael's family for breakfast. We went from breakfast to meet my family at Flattop for lunch. My parents, Arla, Teddy and Lily met us there. We had a yummy lunch and had fun catching up and passing around Lily like a hot potato. I hadn't seen her in a few weeks so I had to get as much Lily time in as possible!

After lunch we made a couple stops on the way home at Home Goods and Babies R Us. When we got home we both felt like a nap was in order. We passed out for a couple of hours and then headed out to celebrate Valentine's Day at Wildfire. We ate way too much on Saturday by the way! We had a really nice dinner. I had my favorite thing at Wildfire and its only available on Saturdays, their beef wellington. It's delicious!

After dinner we stopped at the grocery store to pick up a couple of things and ended up doing our grocery shopping for the week since it was so dead. I think we'll have to do our shopping at 9pm more often!

On Sunday we got up and went out for breakfast and then headed out to run a bunch of errands. We hit up IKEA, Container Store, Home Goods and Five Below. I was excited to get all of the frames for Ethan's wall collage in the nursery at IKEA. They have the best frames. You can't beat getting 15 frames for under $100. I also finally found a basket for his changing table at Home Goods.

After we got home from all of our running around, we had some lunch and then went upstairs to get started on our projects for Ethan's nursery. Our goal was to put his crib together, get his closet back in order after having the carpet installed and to apply the vinyl alphabet. 

Ethan's crib!

Ethan's closet all finished! We installed the wood pull out drawers and got everything back in order.

The biggest project of the day was applying the vinyl alphabet. We thought it was going to take us a few hours to finish it since we had to apply 52 individual pieces. It actually only ended up taking a little bit over an hour. We got a good system going and we cranked right through it. It looks so good, we are really happy with the finished product. The full reveal will be in tomorrow's nursery progress post, but here's a sneak peek!

After finishing the vinyl, I worked on framing pieces for the collage wall in the nursery. I don't have everything yet but I was able to do most of the pieces. My favorite one so far is this giraffe kiss poster!

For Sunday dinner we made homemade Chinese takeout. Sesame chicken, fried rice and homemade potstickers. It was really yummy!

I hope all of you had a great weekend too. I'm already looking forward to next weekend so lets hope this week goes by fast! Have a great week everyone!
