Blame it on the rain....

We have been so busy lately!! And when I'm not busy.......I'm just lazy! BLAME IT ON THE RAIN!! The weekend before last, mom stayed all weekend & sewed my kitchen curtains...yay!! My little sister & her boyfriend also came down & he helped hang/move light fixtures in the kitchen. DOUBLE YAY!! In the middle of all of that, we took a several hour break & headed to Sallisaw to watch my niece, Hailey, play softball in a tournament. FUN, FUN!! :)

I've been off work since Tuesday of last week. Can you say WONDERFUL?? I definitely needed a break!! We left Ft. Smith on Wednesday a.m. & headed to Branson for a few days. We had so much fun!! Dylan was an angel & had soooo much fun! I didn't want to come home. We stayed at the hotel....(or is it motel--doors on the outside) with the indoor water park....SHE LOVED IT!! We closed it down both nights we were there!! We also went to Silver Dollar City despite the dreary & drizzly weather. Ryan & I were amazed at how brave Dylan was. She's 3, but she's always been a little bit chicken... NOT ANYMORE!! She rode EVERYTHING...more than once! She even rode Fire in the Hole with Ryan. She didn't love it (too dark), but she toughed it out TEAR-FREE!! It was so much fun watching her & hearing her scream & squeal from excitement. I could never get sick of that deep belly laugh....LOVE IT!! Dylan also rode the big water slide with me! She wasn't quite big enough but the lifeguard was nice enough to bend the rules a bit. She loved it!! We also shopped til we dropped & ate too much!! If you have never had the guacamole at Cantina Laredo, you need to! They make it fresh at your table & I'm quite sure it's the best I've ever tasted!! I can't wait to go back & have more!! We had such a GREAT time!! I'm so thankful we took the time to go...

(I WILL TRY TO POST PICTURES IN A DAY OR SO....ONCE AGAIN THE WHOLE LAZY THING IS TAKING OVER! I'M TYPING THIS FROM BED....INSOMNIA!!!)

AND NOW FOR THE KITCHEN.............I'm sure everyone is wondering when & if we will ever be done. Well, you're not alone! I wonder myself....Ryan is on vacation for 2 weeks so hopefully he will get the floor done this week (hopefully our tile came in while we were gone). Our counter tops, back splash, & curtains are finished. We stopped working on the cabinets until we get the tile floor done. The same goes with the wall color. Everything we do, changes the look of the kitchen so much....I want to wait & see what colors we will NEED to make it all complete! Leslie, I will be calling you ASAP after Ryan gets the floor done!! I can't wait to make that little purchase.... So far, I am very pleased with the things we have done. Hopefully it won't be long & I'll be close enough to "finished" to post pictures!! Until then......don't hold your breath!! :)

TTFN....
