Nothing really interesting happened. Luke was home with me today and we did some shopping... I really wish this shopping would end. (Me, of all people...) It feels like every project needs something that we don't have. On a plus side, I told Luke that next time we move, hopefully we won't need to buy as much stuff. Hedge clippers? Done. Weed whacker? Got it. Lawn mower? Coming tomorrow. (Ok, that was free) But still... these were all things we never thought of when we registered for our wedding cause you don't need to worry about lawn maintenance when you are in an apartment. But slowly but surly things are starting to come together. At least this Saturday we have AC!
As much as I am complaining about buying things for our new place, I'm still excited when little by little everything is starting to fall into place. For example, Luke took all those bushes in the front out yesterday, (raining today so I couldn't get a picture) and he bought a weed whacker so he cleared out a lot of scary things in the front of the house. It is looking so much better already! We also bought solar lights for the sides of the driveway. They look so pretty and inviting... I love it. Luke did a great job out there. Tomorrow, he is going to attack the backyard. Yikes. Luckily, Mom and Dad Overton and Grandma and Grandpa Thomas are coming out to bring us their old couches and a lawn mower so hopefully, Luke will get a little help back there. It's scary.
Meanwhile, while Luke was toiling in the yard, I bought paint and started to paint the closet in our bedroom. This way we can buy more/new shelves and organize the closet a little better than it currently is. My plan was to have the whole thing painted by tonight so Mom Overton could help me design the closet and we could get shelves. Well... turns out I ran out of paint about half way trough and we need a second coat. Shoot. So looks like I'll be heading back to Lowes in the morning. Grrr.
And I believe, unless the plans have changed, that Mom O and I will be looking at all the paint swatches I took home and try to pick out colors for the house. We don't want to start hanging anything until we have everything painted. I'm excited to hear some of her ideas!! :)
And that was our day! Poor Kylie had to spend some time in her box today while we were out, which she didn't seem to mind because she usually goes in there and sleeps most of the day anyway. But when we got back and I was in the closet covered in paint and Luke was outside with the week whacker, she also had to go in her box. I didn't want to leave her unattended until I know she's good to only 'go' outside. She was NOT a happy camper and she let me know!! I finally gave up and told Luke to tie her outside with him so at least she wasn't in her box crying at me. Then she was happy. Actually, it was kinda cute. Before she went in her box and I started painting, she kept sitting by the window and watchingLuke's every move. We thought she might be afraid of the whacker sound, but she just sat there watching. I probably could have just left her out but just in case... Why set her up for failure?
A fun fact about Kylie I learned today was that she LOVES ice. I was filling my cup (the same cup the cousins have that I LOVE) (and mines prettier, FYI) ;) and I dropped a piece of ice. Kylie immediately ran and grabbed the ice and took it in her box where she pounced it and sent it flying all over the place. Then she came back to me and sat down. I opened the freezer door and gave her a cube. Again, she ran and chased it all though the living room. By this time, I was in the bedroom emptying out the closet. I turned around and saw her sitting and staring at the fridge waiting for the ice to come out. Hysterical! I gave her one more piece of ice but that was it. There were puddles all over my house! I texted the picture of her looking at the fridge to Kaylyn and she said that indeed, Kylie is an ice fiend! So funny. She doesn't beg for people food EVER but ice?? She loves it! I'll share the picture tomorrow... it's on my phone and it's too lazy.
Anyway, that's about it. It's Saturday night and I'm blogging, Luke is upstairs playing video games and now that I'm done, I'm going to bed. Stop us. We are some crazy people. Enjoy the post that again, was longer than I anticipated and sweet dreams.
Goodnight from all of us Overtons :)
