no couch potatoes here

Yikes! It's been forever since I blogged - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone. We got back into town on the 31st and rung in the new year here. Tom & I also resolved that our first project for 2009 was to get Owen a proper bed (he only has a mattress on the floor) which prompted us to begin painting his room. It wasn't that simple, we needed to do some musical beds and extra furniture to empty the room which helped to identify project #2 - painting the basement bedroom so that our next guest wouldn't have to try falling asleep with the orange walls screaming at them. The first week of work felt very long after 2 weeks of vacation bliss. Friday couldn't come soon enough and we made sure to celebrate the first weekend of 2009 with Don Q.

We woke up saturday morning to no cable - note: we still are without cable and not sure what went wrong, cableperson comes tomorrow. The weather was gray and icky and made for a prime couch potatoe weekend. However, I actually enjoyed this past weekend without the TV - I've been very productive with pulling together mom's birthday gift, finishing my book, and putting Owen's big boy bedroom together. We shopped at IKEA on Saturday, spent 2 hrs and could've probably spent another if we had the option. I've put together the nightstand and dresser with Owen's help finding the hardware needed to assemble as well as his pretend screwdriver handy work.

Luckily, our internet works and so Owen & Maia had a chance to draw together.
