Legos

Two neighbors decided to have a garage sale this past Saturday. No idea why but I guess they both did pretty good. I know we contributed to both.

C found a bucket of Legos for $2. I'm pretty sure this same bucket was at this neighbors last garage sale for at least $10 more. Anyways. I digress. C was very excited; immediately came home and paid Daddy back with money out of his piggy bank. He and K played with it for a few hours and then I decided to see how many pieces were actually in it. The side of the bucket said there were supposed to be 650 pieces. There was also a list of exactly what pieces were supposed to be in there.

It took me awhile (I also Lysol-ed them in there too). He is actually only missing 11 pieces out of the entire bucket! For only $2! You can't beat that! There were a few extra pieces that weren't listed, too.

I wish I would have taken a picture of the Legos actually in the bucket. They only filled up about 1/4 of that big ole' bucket. Very mis-leading. Oh well.

I hate allergies!

My allergies have been so bad this year. Every year I have issues but it's been a long time since they have been this bad. Daddy heard the other day that a high pollen count is 12. Ours here in Indiana was 11. My cousin who lives in Atlanta said her formerly white car was recently yellow.

As I looked out our front door last week, I figured out why my allergies were so bad. We have such a pretty tree in our front yard. It flowered at the beginning of spring and then did this......................

As the wind blew, the pretty little flowers full of pollen blew to the ground looking like snow! This picture doesn't do it justice. I tried to get a picture as it was blowing down but it didn't run out at all.

I've been taking non-drowsy 24 hour Claritin--helps some but not til late afternoon. I then take Benadryl before bed every night. Helps til about 5 am when it wears off and my nose starts running. Today I bought maximum strength Benadryl to take tonight. We shall see if that helps any better.

Spring is so pretty and I was so ready for spring this year, BUT I'll be glad when this is all past.

The Fridge and I

We went from this....................

to this........................ (overnight, I might add. So I had all my fridge stuff in coolers and my freezer stuff across the street in a neighbor's freezer)
Ta da! To this! Isn't it pretty? It's HUGE! Our old one was 17.4 cu feet. This one it 24.7. I love it!

Right now it holds more than normal food due to company coming. AND THERE IS STILL ROOM!
It's a French door style with filtered ice and water on the door.
The freezer is a double tray freezer. LOTS of room.

Don't tell my hubby, but the first day we had it, I would go open it just to look inside. It's fun!

Am I just crazy, or is it fun to see what's in some else's fridge? I always look at other people's cart at Wal Mart to see what they are eating. I betcha can't guess what we'll be eating this week.

(Notice I've been using "Shakespeare-like titles lately? No reason.)

My Potty and I

My potty and I have become good friends lately. I WILL NEVER PAINT A BATHROOM AGAIN.

I painted our 1/2 bath that is downstairs. I must say, I think it looks very nice. BUT. It is the smallest room in our house-which should have made painting easier. BUT. It is the smallest room in our house--so it was very hard to paint.

The only new thing I bought for the room so far is the mirror. I really like that mirror. Daddy did a great job hanging it (on the 1st try!). I will be buying a new rug because it accidentally became a paint drop cloth. Oops.

So that is why my hands, clothes, hair, rug,.............. have been green and white. And here is a picture of why my potty and I have become good friends. You try fitting down there and painting.

Easter 2010

Easter was beautiful this year! It wasn't "frost bite cold" but just a little chilly.

We got C a Galatic Hereos set that he had been wanting for a very long time. K girl got a "polly-pocket-type" Princess with little plastic (seriously) clothes to change.

After they opened presents and changed, they had a egg hunt downstairs (too muddy to do it outside). Looks like the "easter bunny" laid an egg in Daddy's new chair!

Here is their "egg stash" It was a good day!

So this is a blog?

I can't believe I haven't done much blogging lately. I have been very busy. As I type I have white all over my hands and shirt. More painting. What now? You'll have to check back and see. I have one more thing for hubby to hang and then I'll take pictures. Hopefully it will get hung tonight. Plus another cool item will be delivered Wednesday. That will get blogged about after it's here. Family is coming into town Saturday to help with a big house project. Hopefully I can blog about that next week. Wow! I've hinted at 3 different posts! Tomorrow's post (Easter) isn't even counted in that! Oh dear. I hope I didn't just set myself up for failure.

Happy Anniversary to us!

It's hard to believe that we have been married for 11 years. Interesting note: We got married on Saturday, April 3--the Saturday before Easter. Sound familiar?

So let me tell you what we did to celebrate today. We went and spend A LOT of money on ----wait for it---- are you ready?----- shingles for a new roof! Yeah! Oh, sorry. Guess it's not that exciting.

Family (you know who you are) is coming in 2 weeks (side note: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) to help put it up. It will be fun to see them but it will be a lot of work to get done in one week. Please pray that IT DOES NOT RAIN THAT WEEK.

Back to my anniversary. Actually we did go out Thursday night to Red Lobster, with the kids. Next Saturday we are going out, with out the kids, to PF Changs. And my honey got me roses! So sweet! And he brought K girl some flowers too! So sweet! And a dart gun for C. Nice.
