Weekend Warriors

We were all feeling like defeated warriors yesterday morning. Tired. We wanted to stay in bed. Roll over and snooze for a few more hours. The night was short for three of us. What a busy weekend!

I managed to prime the dining room and hall way. I felt good when I crossed that project off my list. I also painted the first coat of yellow on the walls. I wanted to paint the second coat this weekend also but time and other activities denied me that satisfaction. Our island is almost finished. We have two pieces to purchase and attach. However, it looks grand! So nice and I just love it. The bar stools look great with the island and the countertop. And they are so comfortable. We are happy with our purchase. The kids have been eating every meal at the bar. I'm hoping this new love will fade and they'll join us once again at the table for dinner.



Not only did I prime and paint, I watched my husband clean up a lot of pee on our new floor. We brought home our new puppy Friday night. Our son wanted to name him Ruddie after a character from the movie, Ice Age, Dawn of the Dinosaur. Ruddie is the newest member of our family. He is eight weeks old and is adorable. He’s a German shorthaired pointer. A bird dog. He’ll be a family dog first and a hunting companion second. He has sharp teeth and big paws. You can hear him gallop across the floor. He is still getting used to the size of his paws as they trip him up often. Run Ruddie, roll Ruddie. Too cute!
