Just another exiciting weekend!!!

It was another busy and exciting weekend at the Slocum household!! by Sunday night Jakey couldn't wait to go to bed... It's been 7 months since we moved into our new home and I had enough of looking at the white walls.. when we first moved painting wasn't on the top of the to do list.. now we've settled in, I wanted to get our home painted.. I called around got a couple of quotes.... almost fell off the chair when I got them!!! just to get our kitchen and family room painted the LOWEST quote was $2000!!!..... you didn't read it wrong.. that's 3 0's following the 2.. $2000!!! Needless to say we weren't going t be paying anyone to paint and we were fortunate enough to get our good friend Jon to volunteer to help.. he painted and built homes throughout college and he knew exactly what to do!! so on Friday he came over, prepped and painted our family room!!! then on Saturday morning we painted our kitchen!! The results are AWESOME!! and very cost efficient.. it colors made our family room and kitchen more warm and inviting!! we've now on our way to paint our entire first floor!! On Sunday John's family came over.. Uncle Josh, Aunt Tina and Mame!! we haven't seen Uncle Josh and Aunt Tina since their wedding in June so it was really nice catching up w/ them!!! On to Jake... he has been an eating machine these days.. although at times his teeth hurt too much that I have to give him baby food...but w/ the large amounts of teeth his got he can eat graduate meals.. his favorite is the beef raviolis!! And now at meal time we have to entertain him any which way we can so he sits still!!! so John has been sword fighting.. well its spoon fighting w/ him so I can feed him ;) its pretty funny!!
