Friday 14th - Our ward had a wii bowling tournament as a fundraiser for YW's camp. Ryan and I started out in different teams and demolished our competition. I shouldn't brag, but I never usually beat anyone because I'm always playing against Ryan so it was fun to win for once. Then I had to play against Ryan....Yes, I lost. But he beat out everyone in this second group so he continued.
He ended up coming in 3rd in the entire tournament and we won a nights stay at the Marriott hotel. Yes please. Ryan's dad is out in Florida already and has been for about 3 weeks now, but his mum is still here until the 29th June. So she came up and watched the wee ones while we took advantage of our prize.
We went downtown in Portland after checking into the hotel. We got Ryan a new suit for work, had some dinner and then went to see Iron Man 2. It was very odd not having to worry about being home by a certain time.
The next day we bought some new book shelves for our living room and some paint. I was really eager to get something done with our upstairs. It was incredibly boring.
Thursday 27th- I started painting our upstairs living room and got 2 walls done by myself in between "busy boy" Pete's naps.
Friday 28th- Ryan and I then stayed up till 1am finishing the job. It's very bright, but I really like it.
Saturday morning- Jack said, " Mum, the wall is green." Me: "Yes it is, do you like it?" Jack: "Yes, I like it, it's really nice." Me: "Awww, thanks wee man." Jack: "You're welcome mum."
What a sweet lad.
Sunday 30th- I got a 3 hour nap in the middle of the day....never happens... pure dead brilliant.
That night I watched a 4 hour long BBC version of Emma that I got for my birthday with Ryan's mum who was staying with us for the weekend....also pure dead brilliant...I want to watch it again.
Today (Monday 31st)- It is Memorial day so Ryan has the day off work. Ryan got up with the wee ones and I stayed in bed until 9:30am. I got to finish a book that I have been working on for about 2 months. Ryan's mum is still here and playing with the boys....while I sit and jot this down. Later we're having a BBQ, Ryan will be grilling. I feel like I'm on holiday.
I will post pictures of the living room later.

Aww I can't wait to hear Jack talking like that! I've only heard him say a few words. I like the colour of the living room looks brighter and more of a homely feel to it. What is your next project on the house?
I'm still working on the upstairs living room...we have a big empty wall that needs some attention. Then I'm going to move on to our bedroom, and the spare bedroom.
