HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!

Well... I haven't blogged in awhile...busy, lazy, tired, working, working out, ... But there couldn't be a better reason to start up again - celebrating Mothers...

Yesterday, I took the kids to the Fred Meyer's store to pick up cards. They each picked out a card. Then, we went to pick out a cake. The store had single layer cakes that the kids could decorate themselves. So, we took the extra 15 minutes and made a cake for momma...

Today, the kids were excited to give their cards (and mine...and the one from the pups) to Lisa. Meanwhile, I whipped up an omlet for her... Afterwards, I took the kids to the Seattle Aquarium. They didn't enjoy it as much as the zoo...but we had a pretty good time. We got back home just in time for their nap...

I barbequed some steaks and whipped up a margarita for Lisa. After cleaning the kitchen (while Lisa watched a movie with the kids), I was beat... I went upstairs afterwards and played with the kids for awhile...then, rested on the floor until it was time for bed...what a long day...

We tried to call my mom, but (as expected) she was still at the casino. The kids were happy to talk to grandpa though... we'll try again in the next day or two...

Hope it was a good one for my sweetness...I'm exhausted!!

Goin' back to Cali (cont'd)
Lisa started on the inside pictures and figurines, while I worked on the garage. Only 2-weeks and a couple days before the movers come. I think we're in good shape... I've got about 50 boxes in the garage ready - plus, my trailer is packed and ready for my trip down the weekend before. This week for me is all about boxing up the loose stuff in the garage. Next weekend, I take down and box up he weights... Lisa is going to continue with the pictures.

The Plan
I'm driving down on Friday the 25th. I'll be at the new house sometime after 6:00pm. I'll pull the trailer into the garage, unload some stuff and tape off the kids room. Saturday and Sunday will be about finishing the garage (texture, primer, and paint) and painting the kids' room. Monday, I'll hang some room darkening shades in the kids room and do any other work that I can do... I'm flying back up to Seattle on Monday afternoon.

On Tuesday, May 29, the movers come to pick up our stuff. We're headed down on Wednesday...going to try to make it all the way in one day...
