More Improvements

It seems my husband is quite the electrician now! We made a trip to Lowe's today and picked out some new fixtures. After Dustin and my dad installed the new fan/fixture, I realized just how ugly some of our other fixtures were. Once the real electrician comes over to get the lighting installed in the back bedrooms, we should be done. Or not ... Dustin and I have decided we don't care for the lighting above the stairs and may replace that as well. We shall see!

Goofy Girl

Just a couple pics of Allie being goofy. Mom or Dad told me where they got the goggles, but I don't remember. They're Allie's glasses now and she just loves to put them on and run around the house. She's just so darn funny!

Allie's Easter Egg Hunt

Mom set up an Easter egg hunt for Allie and she was SO excited! It was funny watching her discover all the eggs that were "hidden" around the house. Mom even "hid" a couple eggs for me and Nichole. The eggs had a lottery scratch ticket in them. I was really hoping to hit the jackpot, but alas ... no such luck.

Easter Eggs

Here's our Easter eggs ... The trick we learned in Real Simple was to wrap rubber bands around the eggs before you colored them to get those neat stripes. The crayon doesn't seem to work very well, but I think our eggs turned out great. And they're were quite delicious!

Hippity Hoppity

We spent this morning coloring eggs and making sugar cookies. My camera battery was dead, so I didn't get a picture of the eggs. I'll try to get one tomorrow before we eat them because they turned out really cool! Mom and I discovered a rubber band trick in Real Simple and it was awesome! I did manage to snap this picture of the cookies when I got home and charged the battery (I'm still kind of shocked that Dustin hadn't eaten them all within 5 minutes of me getting home!).

Yummy!

Home Improvements

Part of an on-going lighting project, Dustin and my dad installed a new fan/fixture for us in the kitchen. I love it! Now we just need Dustin's electrician friend to come over and install the lighting in two of our bedrooms.

Good Times

This weekend was pretty uneventful. Dustin and I went out for supper at Cubby's Friday night where we ran into my parents and a bunch of people my mom works with. We went to Sioux Falls Saturday afternoon and wandered around the mall for a couple hours. Pretty pointless ... I was looking for something specific, but I can never find what I'm looking for. I need to just go sometime with nothing in mind. After the mall, Dustin wanted to go to the Last Stop CD Shop. And we found Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt!!

When Dustin's parents moved, we did the cleaning out of Dustin's things and brought home his Nintendo and Super Nintendo. We don't have many games for either, but we do have Mario World and Mario Kart for Super Nintendo. Anyway, my sister was equally stoked about our find, so I went over to her house last night and we played Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 all night! It was awesome!

Don't worry, we both realize that we're kind of lame. But I know you are all jealous, you can admit it.
