Weekend Visitors










Auntie Carrie and Uncle Matt and Bear (their puppy) came to visit this weekend. Both Benjamin and Ada had a great time with them (we did too)! Ada has always been a momma's girl but not this weekend! She went right over to Auntie Carrie and Uncle Matt right away. She enjoyed reading books, taking the puppy for a walk, relaxing/wrestling with Uncle Matt, and just hanging out and being near her aunt and uncle. Benjamin enjoyed showing his aunt and uncle his cute little underwear, how to write a "B for Benjamin", play playdoh, memory match, and showing off his puzzle skills.


Carrie and I got to go into to Sioux Falls and do a little shopping (just the two of us). It was great!! I had a good time. Now if only the traffic and people wouldn't be so crazy in Sioux Falls it would have been a great morning! We found some good deals. While out, Carrie and I picked up a can of paint for a kitchen project. Dave had the most confused okay, maybe concerned look that I had ever seen. He shouldn't complain as he didn't have to do any of the work! Carrie did all the taping and all the painting (I tried my hand at it but was NO good). Carrie had to do a lot of fixing of my mistakes to make it look great. It turned out wonderful!! We (err, Carrie) painted the shelf area in my kitchen green. We then pulled out all of my garden type decor and gave my kitchen a make over. There are a couple of other things I would like to do it the kitchen but for now I am HAPPY! Too bad we didn't do a before and after photo. We also tried a couple of new recipes this weekend. We found an awesome recipe for homemade rolls. You can even make up the dough and shape the rolls/buns and then freeze them to bake them at a later time. But Dave can't understand why anyone would want to make their own buns when you can just buy them!

I would have loved to see before and after pics! You should post some after ones anyway, in my opinion. :)
