Cabinet

So the house we are renting has two beautiful built in china cabinets in the dining area. I have been keeping our collection of nicknacks in them, since I do not have any were else to keep them. So with us moving in the next two weeks I decided to get one for the new house. I have been looking around for a cabinet the last few weeks and not found one that is in our range. So the weekend Aidan had his surgery, they were doing a city wide garage sale. I happen to drive the back way home from picking up Aidan's medication and saw a sale going on. They happened to be selling a china cabinet. So I did a U-turn and went back to have a look. It was in pretty good shape and in our range. So I ran home to tell Dedrick and pick up the truck. The cabinet only cost $50, when all the other ones we looked at were $700 to $1200. So I am happy to have found a cabinet for the new house.

Built in Cabinet!


Our new Cabinet!


This school year I decided to hang the kids art projects, instead of throwing them away. So I made sure to get a picture before I took them down to throw them away before the move! I hung them on the wall next to the cabinet in the dining room.

Storm

So for the last few days we have had some wicked cool thunder storms. I love thunder and lighting storm, I think they are amazing wonders of nature. So on Friday I had to drive into Salina to get a few things. I left my house about 540pm, it takes about thirty minutes to get there, and the weather was nice and sunny. So after my shopping, I went to see a movie about 720pm, the weather was still nice and sunny. As the movie was ending it sounded like some people we jumping up and down on the roof. When I left the movie it was pouring rain outside. As I was leaving my husband called to let me know we had no power, the whole town was in the black till about 320am, and the power went out about 9pm. My family had a blast in the dark with flashlights and candles, then watching people get there cars stuck driving down the street because of all the water.

So with thunder+lighting+wind+rain+hail+no power= a wonderful family moment! (PS-we had all of that)

Play Date with my Girls

The girls and I went to a play last Saturday at the opera house in McPherson. The opera house was showing "Chicken Little" for free. With me spending that Friday with Aidan after his surgery, the girls wanted me to do something with them. So we had breakfast together, then we went to get in line for the play. We got good seats, right in the middle of the theater with the best view of the stage. After the play we went and enjoyed some ice cream. My girls were very happy to spend time with mom.

Aidan's Surgery

Our poor little boy had to have surgery on Friday to take out his tonsils and adenoids. About three months ago he started snoring so bad it sounded like he stopped breathing. So we took him to the doctor to see what we needed to do. My mother-inlaw told to me to record his snoring, so when we went to the doctor he could he for himself. When we got to the doctor he listened for thirty seconds and said he need surgery. The doctor said he had enlarged tonsils and adenoids and they were blocking his air ways when he slept.
He his recovering well, and just relaxing with family!
