Recap

Well this weekend didn't go according to plan. One we didn't start potty training because on Saturday Aiden woke up at midnight stayed up till 4am. Finally got him to go to sleep in our bed...woke up at 8am with him, almost 40 pounds, on my back (I sleep on my tummy). Needless to say my back was killing me ALL weekend. Bummer! But maybe next weekend. I think my lack of sleep and soreness should have been a sign to stop but I wanted to at least get some things accomplished and not be a complete bum.

Saturday: Bye Bye ugly death trap of a security door. I swear I never open it because everytime I change out our wreath I'm running away in horror because I see wasps. They love to hide behind it. Well NO longer my friends! It feels so good!

Fill up the holes in the frame while I started on the door. Prep. Clean Clean Clean. Scrap Scrap Scrap. So gitty to start. Bye Bye ugly gray door.

Hello beauty! It's bright and cheery and will look even better once we have my hydrangeas near.

Now what went wrong?!?! Do you notice the big blue spot on the concrete?!?! Yeah...I'm painting next thing I know Murphy has knocked over the can. WTF!!! Could have killed him. Oh and other causuality? My birthday wreath! UGH! Had to take out half the balloons..Just another project on my list again.

So did you know that a security door weighs like 5 million pounds?!?! OMG! I about died. Where you see it in the picture above is as far as I could move it. The goal was to move it in the garage on Sunday and resell it. Well the wind had other plans...while I was cleaning the living room on Sunday I hear a loud crash and shatter. Open the door and the security door is on the ground. Glass EVERYWHERE! Took me half an hour to clean. FML! I was put way behind schedule on Sunday and didn't get half the things I wanted to get done because of it. Living room is still a wreck.

Since we are ripping up the concrete I'm not even bothering with pressure washing it. Guess it was a sign to get rid of it. Because of all this missteps I didn't even get to replace the exterior light! UGH!. On my list for next weekend. Bye Bye ugly rusted brass light. Hello beauty!

But with all that good/bad news I will share some more good news! We completely finished our bathroom! YIPPEE! I was in love before, but now I love it even more! No pictures yet I still have a Pinterest project for decor item but once that is done, pictures galor. (Note: I hate painting! Just doing our small bathroom was a pain. Back when we moved in the house I was still pregant with Aiden so my mother-in-law painted the whole house. Ceilings, trim, walls. I don't see how she did it without going crazy! Appreciate it even more now!!)

Next painting projects: The white trims around the house, the siding, and our kitchen ceiling. Taking a few weeks off before I start any of that.

Found a hook for Aiden's "message center". Now everything is off the table.

Friday night I headed up to Macys with my MIL since they were having a blowout sale on mattresses. She was getting my neice a twin set for her bday present and I was looking for a trundle mattress. Man was I glad we went! She found a set that was originally 400something for 169 and I found a mattress originally 200something for 89. SCORE! Originally my FIL was going to build Aiden a trundle for his birthday but they found one that matches his bedset pretty good on LandofNod for about the same price it would cost to make. Even better! Can't wait for it to get here. Let the sleepovers begin! I'm going to make natural rope handles for the outside to make it easy to pull out and keep with his nautical theme.

Leaving with a picture of Aiden. Caught him trying to sneak out of bed during nap time. That little chair of his is multi purpose. Used for reading and as a climbing stool for him. His bed is quite high off the ground.
