Hello friends! Coming back at you after an awesome and yet almost two short three day weekend! As you can sort of see behind me - the window is new! I'll give you a before and after shot at the end of the post. The installation went very well, they now need to put back up the siding on the outside and the wallboard on the inside, but we have time to deal with that! While the boys worked on that, my mom and I went to Clothes Mentor since they were having a 25% off kick off to fall sale. My mom was awesome and helped me buy a couple of things to start moving my maternity wardrobe towards fall and winter!
After the guys finished on Saturday I let Mr. Monkey totally crash and do nothing, we got take out for dinner and had a movie night. Sunday we slept in, went to the Farmer's Market for a couple of things, came home and made some breakfast. Then we took on the daunting task of starting our baby registry - but it wasn't as bad as we thought it could be. And since we weren't completely burned out yet, we also stopped at a Lowe's to look at window treatments for the new window. We headed home to make dinner and have another movie night.
Yesterday the Pants Monkey decided to smoke some meat for a barbeque with his parents and while he did that, I hit the thrifts for 50% off day. For under $30 I scored five tops and a pair of pants and a dress. All of which is versatile enough I think I should be able to wear it all after the baby is born too. So I was pretty happy about that!
Dress - Japanese Weekend, consignment
Sweater - Old Navy maternity
Necklace - DIY by me
Shoes - DSW
And now today, back to the grind. Decided to give this Japanese Weekend dress another spin, especially after I learned that not only did I get a great deal on it, but it's also a wonderful US made company. It's always good to know that kind of information! I still need that haircut, but tonight Mr. Monkey has his fantasy football draft with his work, so I am finally getting that done while he's gone, yay!
And I'll leave you with the window before and after - we're pretty excited about how it turned out!
It sounds like you had an awesome weekend! The window looks great. That is a huge job installing a picture window like that. My husband and I did our picture window and it was heavy!!!
