This week's happenings...

We've had a relatively calm week this week, so I don't really have anything too exciting to blog about.

• Monday - Holiday - see weekend wrapup post.
• Tuesday - Tristen was home from school sick. He had a stomach bug, so I got an extended weekend. :)
• Wednesday - Colby's first practice on his new Select Baseball Team.
• Thursday - Jason was off all day Thursday so he spent the day taking apart his new toy - 1964 VW Beetle - that he is starting to restore. I will post pictures in a separate post.
• Friday - boys will go to their mom's house until Sunday afternoon.

Tristen starts his private Trumpet lessons on Tuesday. He is pretty excited about them. Luckily, we were one of the first people to sign up so he gets to do his lessons from 7:45am-8:15am on Tuesdays, which is perfect because I drop him off at school at 7:45. The first bell doesn't ring until 8:35, so it works out great!

I'm still on the search for drapes for our breakfast nook/kitchen. I know EXACTLY what I want and found some that I absolutely love, but of course they have to be uber expensive - $400 - and I'm just not going to pay that! We are having our first 'house party' with our families on the 27th of this month and for whatever reason (me being a perfectionist) I wanted everything perfect, hung, painted, etc. Honestly, it really doesn't matter as it is our family that is coming over. We'll see how successful I am in completing all of these little tasks I want done before the 27th.

**Update on the solar lights**- yeah, they didn't work. Jason packed them back up and I took them back to Lowes. We are still on the search for some solar lights or other landscape lighting.
