Getting All Dressered Up



Sheesh, I got a lot done this weekend, with the help of Pat, of course. Would you like the play by play? If not, don't keep reading!

Friday started out with Pat getting his haircut (a task that's needed done for weeks) and then we were off for shopping and lunch at IKEA- who doesn't love a little meatball in their life? We came home with two new dressers, put Sam down for his nap, and spent the next 2 hours putting them together. Then I went to town with serious reorganizing in the kids' rooms. It feels so good to purge and get rid of crap! Now that we have a great piece of furniture in Addie's room exactly where I want it, I can finally hang some of the art/stuff I've been accumulating. I'll have to post pics soon as I get her room more the way I've been wanting it! Friday night was our turn to babysit, so it was a fun night with cousins playing.

Saturday morning was our visiting teaching conference- a brunch with about 30 sisters. I spoke on giving as a visiting teacher, then another sister spoke on receiving your visiting teachers, and then our Relief Society pres gave some brief closing remarks for only maybe 25 minutes of talking- it was great! I helped clean the chapel and then hurried home to continue to seize the day! I pulled weeds, we made a Costco trip, cleaned house, and then prepared a primary lesson because we were subbing for the CTR 7 teachers today. It feels so nice to have gotten so much done! It's a busy week ahead, and our fence installations starts Friday, so if anyone has yard planning advice, let me know!

I almost got that top dresser last time I was there. They had it in red and I loved it. But I had to be honest with myself- how transitional is a red dresser?

Great job organizing! I need to get doing that myself.
