Low Key Valentine's Day~

This year we didn't do the typical Val day celebration. Normally I am preparing a big dinner for 100 or so people at church. Aaaaaaaah, sweet relief!!!! Moving on, my grandparents came for a short visit. And then we packed up to go to Lowe's to buy home improvement supplies. You know you MUST keep busy while waiting for baby. So, we got paint for our entire (downstairs) house except the kitchen because the paint that is there is in great condition and we didn't want to go hog wild.

Now we have paint for our bedroom, the boys bedroom, and the livingroom. We're also going to stain the floor in the kitchen which is concrete & right by the back door so LOTS of mud gets tracked in. After it is stained I will be able to put down some throw rugs to make it more homey. We did have linoleium (how in the heck do you spell that?) down but because of where it is located mold was growning under it. GROSS & not good for allergies or anything else either! I love basements but they present some challenges at times!

Also for the past two weeks we have been moving things around. The good thing about living in an unfinished basement is that you can play musical chairs with everything. Sam & I have had our bedroom in every space of this 'house' and I think we've finally found home---for our bedroom. In order to do this we had to move the kitchen. Basically my dad did all the work while we paid for supplies but we now officially have two bedrooms & a kitchen, livingroom. EVENTUALLY, like maybe next year we will put in a bathroom.....oh, that sound so SWEEEEEET!

After our trip to Lowe's be came back & I cooked dinner and dessert. CHicken parmesan with pasta & garlic bread. And chocolate covered strawberries. Sorry no pictures our memory was full & we were pooped from our shopping trip. Sam & I waited till the kids were asleep and watched the Mentalist together and toasted with sparkling peach (sammy's fav) & ate our strawberries--oh the romance that happens with two kids & one on the way. It actually was very nice!!!!!! And one I will remember!
