We noticed they have school supplies out at the stores already. Guess that's a sure sign that we're on the tail end of summer already. Hard to believe!
It was a pretty productive week for us. On Wednesday night, we decided to go check out some local furniture stores. Our kitchen table, coffee table, end tables and recliner are all hand-me-downs (some of them hand-me-downs several times over!) and are on our list to upgrade at some point. Our first stop was at an unfinished wood store, and while the pieces were very nicely crafted, they weren't quite our style. On a whim, we stopped at another store on our way home. There, we found a three-piece table set (two end tables and a coffee table) we liked for half off! Score! We somehow timed that stop perfectly as the week-long sale ended at closing that night...so we signed on the dotted line and are now waiting for the new pieces to come in (hopefully by next week).
The weather was pretty nice on Thursday, so we decided to take Peanut to the dog park. Apparently a lot of other people had the same thought, so the park was filled with dogs. Peanut really enjoyed playing with a goldendoodle, and he also defended Old Yeller's twin. (Apparently a dog was growling at Old Yeller, and Peanut stepped in between them and barked at the old dog to go away. Which is doubly hilarious given the fact that Peanut is about a fourth of the size of Old Yeller!).
It poured all day Saturday. We got about 1.5 inches in four hours. Surprisingly, though, our yard is not a swamp today. Guess we needed the rain! This morning, we met Kim's parents for breakfast (they'll officially be our neighbors in two short days - hard to believe!) at a hole-in-the-wall diner. Both the omelets and pancakes were delicious! Eric then headed to his soccer game and got to break in his new cleats (and he has the blister to prove it). This evening, we made chicken Caesar pitas (mmm) and played ladder golf. Not a bad way to end the week - though we wish it weren't over quite yet!
Current gas price: $2.31/gallon.
