Weekend Recap

Friday night the girls stayed at Scott’s parents’ so Scott and I spent the evening watching Big Bang Theory. It’s so silly but Scott and I are really enjoying laughing so much together.  To be honest, we haven’t done that a whole lot lately.  We’re so busy working and getting kids fed and driving them to and fro and when we’re not busy, he’s playing his video game or I’m baking or spending time at my computer or in a book and we just don’t have an occasion to laugh a lot. That sounds so sad but it’s so easy to get caught up and forget to have fun on purpose.  We are now randomly saying “Bazinga!” to one another.  It’s pretty great.

So Saturday morning we got up and listen to this fun…went mattress shopping!  In all of our years of marriage we have never, not ever bought ourselves a new mattress.  Well, Scott’s side had gotten so bad that I really felt like I was being pushed into a ditch when I rolled over to his side.  He was complaining about back aches every single morning.  When a LivingSocial deal came up, it was just the green light we needed.  We’ve also being eyeing furniture for our master bedroom.  The deal also came with a 25% coupon on any same-day furniture sales so we snatched up a lime green couch and two chairs.  And Scott would like to state for the record he picked out the lime green couch.  Seriously.  A man after my own heart.  Or, has my heart.  Or whatever.  Everyone knows I love green.

 

Aren’t those chairs so fun?  I love that they’re in my sight while we watch Sheldon.

 

I can barely take all the fun and laughter.

 

I guess you can’t really tell but that’s a pretty new Tempurpedic-ish mattress.

 

To be honest, it’s as hard as a rock and I don’t like it much.  Scott loves it a lot and it’s not actually causing me pain so I guess I’m going to live with it. I surely can’t afford one of those sleep number beds with separate sides.  Well, technically I could probably afford it if I really wanted it but I couldn’t bring myself to pay that much.  I already about had a heart attack at the cost of this one.  Did you know brand new king mattresses aren’t cheap?!

So we probably still want a new bedspread and headboard.  That black leather I think is just too severe and the bedspread reads more purple than the brown that it is. Once we get that, we can figure out the wall above the bed and of course decorate the wall with the couch.  It’s slow but it’s all coming together.

The rest of the weekend was pretty easy-going.  The kids had their cousin over for Saturday afternoon, I fixed a nice steak dinner Saturday night, we watched Dangerous Animals of Australia or something Saturday night.  Watching documentaries on Netflix is now Scott and the girls “thing”.

Sunday was church and dinner.  We went to Jason’s Deli.  We’ve only eaten out one other time since going gluten-free (oh my word at all the cooking! breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack, it never ends!).  I had to take butter and sour cream for Emma to have on her potato and also bring her cookies since she couldn’t have the ice cream.  I was officially one of “those moms” pulling food out of Tupperware from her purse.  Whatever.

Sunday afternoon and evening we did a whole lot of nothing.  The kids spent the entire afternoon playing with a neighbor and Scott had a meeting at the church.  I baked (surprise) and the kids finished up the evening playing a few computer games and watching TV while I checked out the Oscars red carpet. 

I found this note between Emma and Lexi on my desk just as Scott stopped in today for a break from work.  Speaking of laughing together, this one had us rolling.

Emma:

Love, Emma

Lexi:

Big Fat nooooooooo

Bwahahahaha.  Can’t you feel the sisterly love?
