Productive Weekend

This was a very productive amazing weekend here at the Lamberts.

1. All christmas lights are packed up and in the attic!
2. Finished 3 coats on the trim for the vanity. I think that might be it, but I'm wait for it to completely dry. ALMOST done!!! Once that is up next is the mirror and putting up the handles.
3. Kitchen is CLEANED, under the sink is organized, pantry organized and labeled (FOR REAL!!!! I never thought I'd get around to that)

As I have mentioned before being out in the country brings little creatures aka field mice in during the cold weather. I have been the dominant mouse killer in the garage, but I think I have officially been beat. So as me and Wes are cleaning under the sink he notices something in one of the bins. Little beady eyes! A MOUSE! So then we are running around trying to get things to capture it with, check, slowly take everything out and find NOTHING! Where did that little guy go?! Before you know it I see Murphy growling mean at the oven. I look underneath see nothing, but he is continuing to growl and bark. So we decide to pull it out..OMG a mouse! It pops into the warming drawer. Then Wes slowly opens it and out the mouse jumps. And before we know it, like it was a scene from Animal Planet, Murph scoops up that mouse in his mouth and kills it with one bite then drops it. OMG COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!!!!!!! At that moment we were like holy crap I knew there was a good reason for him to be in the kitchen. Protecting his family from the deadly mice. hahaha So for the rest of the afternoon he was guarding the oven double checking if there are any more. Such a good dog!!!!! Needless to say he got treats that day!

4. Organized the Man room. Put both desks on one wall, moved the filing cabinet to the wall, organized the desks, hooked up the new printer, and hung pictures! YAH! Still have some more things to hang, and we are still on the hunt for the perfect bookcase but it is a GREAT improvement!

I will post pictures later of our progress. The main thing I was excited to hang was our 1 year anniversary present (PAPER, which is supposed to symbolize the strength obtained from the interlocking fibres). Once I hung it I warned Wes "Now you better never forget our anniversary!" haha. It looks like the picture below, but with our information. I loved it the moment I saw it, and knew it would look awesome in there. I hope every year we keep up with the traditional gifts. That way everything is thoughtful and special, and doesn't have to be the typical flowers, jewelry, etc.

Good teamwork all weekend! It is amazing how much you can accomplish together ;-) YAH!
