Ok, so my birthday was on Labor Day, and it was so nice that Patrick was able to be off work and spend the day with me. We haven't seen much of him in the past few weeks, so it was great to actually be with him all day! He secretly arranged for some of our friends to watch the boys while he took me out to lunch, I love to go out to lunch with him, I guess thats because I never really get to since he is at work at lunchtime. So he took me to the Cheesecake Factory. It was our first time there, and I must say, I am now a HUGE fan! Way yum! Since we just bought some new furniture, I told Patrick that was my birthday present. I only have a picture of our hutch taken so far. We also got new living room furniture, but I'm waiting to get the room decorated before I post pics of that, it's getting there. So here is our new hutch that is in our dinning room. We found one that matches our dinning table exactly! I LOVE IT!!
(please never mind the fan and boxes still out, my whole house is still a work in progress!) Also in this picture you can see our new floors. We ripped out all the old ugly flooring downstairs, and put in Pergo throughout most of it. There is carpet in the family room (on the left side of the pic) and in the living room (on the top right side of the pic by the front door)
Another one of the highlights of the week was that Conner started Preschool!! He absolutely LOVED it! When I came to pick him up, he came running out with the biggest smile ever on his cute little face. His teacher told me he did really well, only he tried to give himself a haircut with the scissors. Luckily his teacher caught him before he had a chance to do any damage. 
The sad, and horrible part of my week was one day I decided to be all productive and get things cleaned, and then unpack more stuff. So I start with cleaning my bathrooms, which by far is my least favorite chore. As I'm finishing up with the boys bathroom, I went and tried to hold the Clorox Wipes, Lysol toilet bowl cleaner and brush thingy, and Windex. Of course, I drop the Lysol on the bathroom floor. Not a big deal I thought, it didn't spill hardly at all. So I pick it up and hold it with my arm against my body and head downstairs to clean the downstairs bathroom. When I got down there and started unloading my cleaning supplies, I realize there was a bunch of Lysol on the side of the bottle that I didn't see before, and OF COURSE it has bleach in it. So it completely ruined one of my favorite shirts!!! SAD!
It was one of my fav shirts, not that it was all that special or expensive. But it was comfy, and kinda cute, and just one of those shirts you want to wear all that time because it is just relaxing, but looks better then just some old t-shirt. So I told Patrick this is why I need a maid to clean my house for me, then we could avert such a tragedy. He still isn't convinced! Dang it! I thought it would be a good idea! :)
Most of the rest of my week has been filled unpacking, organizing, and hanging things up. Last night we went out to dinner with some friends and we went and had Thai food. We have never had Thai food, and for the most part it was good. I wasn't a fan of the curry because I HATE coconut, and it's all made with coconut milk, but the rest of it was really good. We liked it, we'd go and eat it again. I think that I'd like to try the curry that they had that didn't have nasty coconut milk in it, I think that might be better.
It has finally started to cool down a little here, fall is on the way! It's nice enough in the mornings that I walk Brayden to school with our neighbor, her daughter is in Brayden's class. The kids love it, and it helps me get out the door on time when I know the neighbors are waiting on us. I have suddenly felt really grown up and old this week. Not just because I turned 28 this week, but because Brayden is in school, Conner is in preschool, (so for 2 days a week in the morning I have no kids!), I asked for furniture for my birthday present, and I'm now driving car pool! Doesn't that just scream MOM or OLD?? Ok, so I realize that I'm not that old yet, but 30 is looming!! And it is hard to believe that, I don't really feel like I should be that old.
But quite possible the best part of all is that I don't have to teach Primary tomorrow because it is Stake Conference! YEAH!! After last Sunday, I really need a break!

Love the floor and the hutch. We are waiting to put the new flooring in our house. I can't wait much longer though. Especially since we just finished putting some in our rental. Grrrr. Anyhoo, sorry to see the shirt. I do that all the time. I hate it.
Love th hutch too. I am searching for a half-hutch since my dining wall is covered in pictures.
Busy week.
Wow! You had a lot of accomplishments last week! I love your hutch! Can't wait to see more pics of your house. You must be old because I don't have any kids in school yet...
That is a way cute hutch...I can't wait to see what the rest of the house looks like. :)
You should wear one of Patrick's favorite comfy shirts the next time you decide to clean. He might be more sympathetic to getting a maid after that. Hee-hee. I'm evil!
That is what the doc suggested I do at night, but the mask only works when upright...it stops working as soon as I try to lay it down, so I had to wake him up and do it. He did a good job though. :)
