Grillin' and Chillin'

We headed out early this morning and purchased electronics. TVs, phones, blender, crock pot, vacuum cleaner, iron, coffee maker, ie. anything that plugs in - we got one. While Ryan was doing that, the boys and I picked out bed linens. Mattress pads, sheets, pillow cases, duvets and duvet covers, anything you sleep on - we got one. Whew! It's all to be delivered on Wednesday, so we spent a ton of money and have nothing to show for it, yet.

Then, all the boys got haircuts. The first in a month. They are looking pretty snappy.

It's a relief to have all of that done.

We came home and had a late, but mediocre lunch. Nothing tasted right. The boys were fine, but Ryan and I were not impressed with our homemade meal. We headed out to the pool and relaxed for a while. Relishing in all that we have accomplished. Ha!

Then, Ryan renewed our faith by grilling some chicken. It was delicious, alongside some BBQ beans, macaroni & cheese and a salad - it was the best meal we've had in 3 weeks. Yum! In one meal, it seemed like all our work and running around was worth it.

I've failed to mention it took nearly a week and a lot of waiting to get that gas bottle for the grill. We also were at the bank yesterday for an hour and a half just to open an account and apply for a credit card. We're getting there....

This is a four day weekend and the boys are enjoying some time off from work and school.

Here's a pic of the Grill Master!
