Perfect weekend....

This was the BEST weekend EVER! It was a perfect combination of everything: time with my hubby, family time, play time, adult time, etc.

Friday night - Jacques & I got a sitter simply to go out with each other - ALONE. It was a real simple evening - ALONE. That's all we wanted. We went to the USA, ate at Ruby Tuesday's (it was amazing - a nice change from all the pizza places in Grand Falls), browsed through the Presque Isle mall and got some groceries (& renovation stuff) at the Walmart. It wasn't much - but we were TOGETHER and ALONE - a perfect evening to me!

Saturday, Jacques & I worked on the bathroom (in preparation for tiling around the tub). It only took a few hours - which was perfect considering it was a perfect pool day & that Noah had gone with Stephan & Zach to a skills competition for soccer. Once we finished, Jacques went with Noah to the soccer competition, while us women stayed home to go swimming! We swam at the Lebel's until all the kids joined us. We were there until about 3:00 pm then came home to have Nico & Amy (and cutzie little Naomi) over to our place for a swim. So, in total I was swimming from around 12-Noon until 5:30pm! YIPPY! That evening we all went to the Lebels to play games - the adults only. The kiddos were watching movies, then Noah slept over.

Sunday, Jacques & I slept in a little then immediately began working on tiling the bathroom. Something we THOUGHT would only take us a few hours - but we didn't end up finishing until 7:30pm which included 3 trips to Canadian Tire for 1. a mortar/paint stir'er thingy (something to attach to the drill to mix the mortar), 2. tile 'snippers' and 3. a wet tile cutter (the best investment EVER). A VERY hard day's work - a few boo-boos, but a pretty darn good job for our first 'big' tiling job. Let's see how it works out tomorrow when the grout goes in. Next is painting, installing the new light fixture, new mirror, the towel rack, paper holder, putting the pictures up - etc. I can't wait to see the final project! I NEVER thought we could have done this ourselves!

So now we are just relaxing watching Sharkboy & Lavagirl - okay, I know - maybe not your first choice. BUT, considering Noah was SO well behaved today while we worked hard in the bathroom - we gave him first choice on the movie to watch!

This is cutzie little Naomi:
