my day off

Saturday I had a day off from work and Paul and i had an awesome day together! It was so fun to just hang out with each other and actually get some things done. First we went around and ran a bunch of errands and went to some stores i wanted to go to. A little bit of a tight squeeze getting out of our parking lot!

At one of the stores we got some new shelves for our family room! This is one of the changes i've been wanting. Something to give us a little extra storage and just make it look different, but something that didn't cost a ton. We got a super deal on these shelves (thanks to Paul's excellent negotiating and some luck) so we were so excited to put them up! We brought it home and loved it. We rearranged all the storage downstairs and it's way better now. We also decided to paint our huge speakers that we have and i think they look way better now. It's always fun to have a change!

Hallelujah! after searching far and wide... THE shelves.Paul spray painting the speakers. He wore the mask thing because i told him to for the picture but he was actually glad for it being as he kept it on for the rest of the time. The finished product. I love it! I STILL wish i could paint my walls but it's fun to at least do some things! Paul is such a good sport to put up with all of my design ideas and he's such a good helper too!

That night we went to "Color me Mine" with Jeff and Melissa and Taylor and Missy and the boys and it was a lot of fun. I had never been before and i loved it. Paul and i both worked on painting a little canister and we did it cheetah print to go with our family room. I hope it turns out cute but we won't pick it up until wednesday night so.. to be continued. Jeff and Melissa did a spponrest with a sweet longhorn on it and Taylor and Missy did two plates with each boys footprint and name and date on them. I'm so excited to see how everyone's turns out!

Paul was a pro at the blowdrying between coats... such an essential part to our creation. It was really funny to see the boys' reactions to having their feet painted! Calahan hated it and was crying the whole time, Mason was just super chill about it.

It was such a great day. i absolutely love just hanging out with Paul and doing things with him and spending time together. I love that we can start a day with absolutely no plans and find things to fill it to make an awesome day!
