We spent the early part of the week over at Kim's parent's house. We took on the task of painting and decorating her brother's room since he's at college and won't be home until Thanksgiving. It took us awhile to pick the exact paint colors (yes, colors) we wanted to use, and we finally got the first coat up on Monday. A second coat followed on Tuesday (and a third coat on one of the walls), and the trim got a fresh coat of white paint later in the week. It looks pretty darn good, if we do say so ourselves. Now we just have to put everything back together...that's the plan for this week. We'd give away more details of the room, but it's a surprise...and you-know-who reads this blog ;-)
On Thursday night, we went over to Mike and Katie's. We enjoyed a delicious plate of chocolate chip cookies and cookie skillet ala mode. Mmmm! It was great to catch up and see pictures from their vacation.
This felt like a long weekend (in a good way!) even though the real long weekend isn't until next week - neat! On Friday, we went to a concert with Julia and Tony. The opening act, while they have good songs, was not so great in concert. However, we really enjoyed Creed. (Eric has seen them three times now, but he was a good sport and took Kim to see them since she'd never been.)
The rest of the weekend has been a mix of errands and relaxing. We picked up around the house, weeded the garden, went shopping (Eric got 5 new shirts, and none of them were gray!), sat on the new patio, went for a walk, played the Wii, drafted for one of our Fantasy Football leagues and cheered on the Bears.
