What a Weekend!
8:45 AM Edit This 8 Comments »WHAT A WEEKEND!
For Starters - We were on fall break from school and re-painted our condo! (Just the kitchen and living room) - but it took a lot of work! Last year we got our paint from Wal-Mart - DON'T! Nothing matched what we picked out, trying to go back to get the same color was impossible, and it was just in bad shape, so after a whole year of staring at it - we finally found time and money to do it! I mostly worked while Merrill was napping, or late at night while Mark was at work and Merrill was down for the night. But, Merrill played with his Aunts - Mary and Anna all day on Saturday and Mark and I had a great day working together and listening to conference! (I am so grateful for Mary and Anna!!!! THANK YOU GIRLS!!!)
Merrill and I were playing with painters tape - then he started watching TV - I had to sneak up on him to get this picture! He wouldn't take it off of his forehead!
Second, after reading Jamie's Blog about pumpkin pancakes I wanted to make a fun breakfast for Sunday morning - I just about killed my husband with Chocolate Waffles a la mode! They were awesome, but really sweet.
Third, I had a great time with my side of the family for our Priesthood n' Pie night - and I am excited for my two new nieces! Congrats to Dan and soon to be congrats to Mary!
Then, of course Merrill is just as adorable as ever! He has started talking into everything as if it were a phone - this is the first time he as starting talking to something without buttons! (Note that we no more have bright unfinished red paint on the wall behind him!)
So, in conclusion: Thank you to Mary and Anna, My moms, Mark, and Lowes for knowing how to make paint a decent color!!!

Lame-O Wal*Mart - or as I now like to call it - Sam's Slums
Yeah, Spencer oh-so-lovingly refers to wal-mart as Babylon or the Great and Spacious Building.
Yeah for getting things painted though. Way to go w/the Chocolate Waffles.
Merrill is so cute. The things kids do with objects... Glade got a marshmallow stuck to her forehead once. It's a funny sight
Oooh. I want to see pictures of your new niece. So Mary is expecting too? That is fabulous. Send my congrats to everyone. I miss your family!
Man, those waffles look yummy! But, I don't think I could handle that much sugar in the morning :o)
Wow, busy lady! Way to be. Getting stuff done and being a top-notch mom! You are amazing!
How fun Deb! I'm glad you had a great conference weekend! I wish I could paint! Oh to have a place of my own. :) I bet it was nice to have time off from school. Our fall break is next week and I'm looking forward to it! I can't believe how big Merrill is getting!!!
Instead of trying to match colors, just call it "Eclectic" and people will think you are cutting edge. And then if they question it, you can look down at them and laugh, making them feel stupid.
