Paint, rain and soccer

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were spent painting Kim's parents' house. The dining room got a second coat of paint (gray), and the laundry room got two coats of paint (celery). We also helped unpack several boxes upstairs, and we got all of the boxes out of one guest room.

On Friday night, Kim went to a bridal shower/bachelorette party for one of her friends at work. While she was out, Eric met a friend for dinner and watched a movie.

We spent Saturday helping Kim's parents move furniture around (Since the paint in the dining room was finally done, we could move in the dining room furniture out of the living room and family room. And that meant we could finally put away boxes in the living room and family room - phew!).

It also down poured on Saturday. Of course the storm happened while we were out running an errand. The sky just opened, and...bam. We ended up doing about 30 mph on the highway, and we had to take an alternate route off our exit because the street was so flooded. This storm, coupled with an all-day-rain earlier in the week, meant we got about 3 inches in five days. No drought here this summer!

Today was a lazy day. We worked on a few projects around the house, and Eric had an afternoon soccer game. The best news? They won their first game! The downside? There were no subs, so Eric played every second without a break. Needless to say, he's pretty tired tonight!

Current gas price: $2.44/gallon.
