memorial weekend

we had a pretty chill three day weekend... which was nice. on saturday we went to a new park we found that is very close to our house. it's called rhododendron park and has a million beautiful flowers and we had a picnic and it was almost too warm. almost. matt made pulled pork and beckett had his first pulled pork sandwich and he loved it. which made his dad very happy. on sunday we cleaned and grocery shopped and i worked at the bus stop for a bit (pretty boring, i know). 

on monday we ran some more errands and then i got motivated and peer pressured matt to go with me to ikea! first i rearranged furniture like a crazy person. then we got shelving for all the toys. it was out of control... toys were taking over. and i didn't want to be that person who is overrun with toys in their home. you know... you walk in and you're like... whoa! clearly a kid lives here. but then i decided, whatever. a kid does live here, and we didn't buy all the toys. so, i'm over it. also, i have an expedit problem. it is the cube shelving system from ikea. we have five pieces now. maybe one day we will put them all together and have a library. probably not though. anyways, we are on our way to having an organized play/family/office room and a separate living room. if i could just get a new couch and ottoman table thingee and tv stand and new tv... we would be set. patience, though. my precious cubes are a good first step. i love good organization. it warms my heart.
