Busy weekend

I am exhausted! What a weekend! Courtney's swimming lessons Friday evening kicked it off. Saturday morning we went to visit our friend who has 7 cats. Courtney got a kick out of that!

After nap it was a quick trip to Home Depot for some house stuff and baby proofing stuff! For the first time since we have had kids, we actually have had to do more baby proofing! We had to finally install those cabinet lock things. We had to buy some other baby proofers that keep a cabinet with handles closed. We had to install a lock on our pantry, but that was both for baby and Buddy sake... It's funny to me that it took us until our SECOND kid turned 1 that we finally had to baby proof pretty significant. We have had the basics like stair gates and outlet covers and such, but we had to take it to a whole new level this weekend!

We also got an upgraded handle for our powder room door, and some of that stuff to put on the window to make the window look frosted, not clear. This way we can actually open the blinds in our powder room and let in some light without worrying about the neighbors watching us pee!

We installed a towel holder in the kitchen (also due to having to baby proof stuff). We were tired of just laying the towel on the kitchen counter all the time. So, amazingly enough, we now have a towel holder!

I got a new latch for our gate (for our outside fence). You would be amazed how difficult it is to find a latch that you can use from BOTH sides of the gate. Most are just one sided! Thank goodness for Ace!

And then last night I was at a girl party with friends! That went until about 10pm, so a late night for me!

Today we stopped and checked out Chef's warehouse sale. We found a 10 quart stockpot for cheap. Hubby has been wanting a bigger one than what we have, so we were happy to find it. Of course he thinks this means he can cook lobster. HA! right.....

Courtney and I went to church this morning. I am loving my new Sunday school class. Courtney seems to be adjusting and fitting into her's as well.

We are sure ready for warmer weather, especially since it's now May! But wouldn't you know that Friday, yesterday and today we had snow. In fact today we encountered lots of weather on a short drive! We drove from our side of town over to the west side of town (about a 15-20 minute drive) and on that drive we encountered heavy snow, grapple, rain, snow, thunder and lighting and more snow. Yes, we get thunder-snow here. It's the oddest thing if you haven't experienced it. We have actually had quite a bit more than usual.

On top of all that, we have had an emotional weekend too. While one friend was losing a pregnancy another was announcing her pregnancy.

Well, this crazy weekend has worn me out! Night all!
