| Weekend...Dinner & remodeling |
Well, this weekend was- BUSY! Makena had a b-day party on Saturday for her friend Sarah. They went to Jump Planet, or 321 Bounce, one of those inflatable places where they run the children silly, pump them w/ food and send them home. She had a GREAT time. The kids seemed really well behaved and all was well until Sarah's dad had too much fun on the inflatable obstacle course. His ankle swelled up really big and seemed painful. I took off w/ him and drove him to the ER. Luckily it wasn't anything major, just a reallly really bad sprain.
Saturday evening was uneventful. We had wanted to go out, but didn't have a babysitter at the last minute, so the Stourals stayed in.
Sunday we were up early, PJ had a soccer game in Northgate - so we headed south. I kicked around the ball while PJ found out that he wasn't going to be playing afterall. :( He came to fill in for people, but turned out they all showed up (first time this season). He was really disappointed. So was Makena. We were having fun playing around and she wanted to watch PJ play. We headed south to Ikea.
I'm not a huge fan of Ikea. We liked it when we were younger, but it all seems so cheaply made and more like 'College Dorm' type stuff. It's not really our style. But we were looking for some storage solutions. Checked it out, not what we wanted.
Our plan to head further south to Bonney Lake (1hour 35 mins south of our home) was to pick up a new stove. (well new for us). KitchenAid, slide in stainless steel to match the rest of our new appliances. So, we've been looking for a while for 'the right' stove. Without going into much detail, PJ felt like the area was sketchy. The stove wasn't cleaned up and for the amount we were planning on paying - let's just say, it should've been wiped down and cleaned up. It's not like we were buying a $50 stove. It had a dent and she said she had the receipt but when we came the paperwork showed 2004/05 and couldn't find the receipt. Too many things didn't seem to be adding up. Off we went, to Sears and Home Depot. We decided we'd rather spend twice as much and feel comfortable with the situation rather than unsure. Back to the drawing board. I'm going to look at some deals tomorrow and by the weekend this dilemma should be solved.
Oh--- you want to know what's for dinner at our home tonight?!? LOL! I threw in 3#s of Pork- and we're having BBQ pulled pork sandwiches/hoagies for dinner. Mmmm- LOVE the crockpot!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Planning on a busy week. |
