Busy Bee

Ok, I promise I haven't posted in a week because I was THAT traumatized from the scorpion...it's just been a chaotic week! I got sick Wednesday night/Thursday morning and still wasn't feeling wonderful when the weekend started. We did manage to make it to Big Cedar this weekend to hang out with my parents at their cabin and had a great, but very short time!! It never fails that when you do something to relax, it goes by twice as fast! Poor Landen (and Richie)...Landen is cutting his second tooth on the bottom and it is killing him. He was SO fussy all weekend, so the relaxation part wasn't as much as we wanted. We did manage to get some shopping in and to Richie's delight, we finally found some new lamps for the top of the entertainment center. He has never liked the lamps I have up there, but to my defense, I don't like to just buy stuff to being buying it--I want it to be something I really like. However, I have had those lamps since my the last time in F. Hills, so yes, it was time to replace them! We also bought a gorgeous new standing lamp for the hearth room that I really love! I will try and put some pictures on here soon to show you....This is all stuff that was in addition to a few things we picked up the weekend before. Richie has also been begging me to ditch the greenery above the kitchen counters. I wasn't attached to it or anything, but again nothing had come along that really struck me, so I just set that up there until I found what I wanted. We also got a new rug for the living room and a new print. Again, things Richie didn't like, but AGAIN things I was using until something better came along! I am not a big "print" fan, in fact this was a picture we bought for our bathroom, but it was too big. When we got to looking at it closer, it went perfect in our living room! Man, I guess we have managed to redo every living area in the house!! It is finally starting to take the shape of "our home"! I love how it is coming together!

On the Easter side of things, I am hosting the big dinner at my house this year. My Meme is not doing very good and Mom isn't up to hosting it at hers, so I guess it's my turn. I am excited though! Wish me luck that I don't burn the turkey! :)
