Weekend of Projects!

Well we had a visitor at the Ladd household this weekend....my brother Brent came to visit!

We had a great weekend! On Saturday, after sleeping in which was AWESOME!! since Eric and I haven't been able to do that for several weekends now....We headed to the Lucky Bucket Brewery for a tour. It was interesting and the boys were happy since they got free beer.....

We headed to Old Market and got some pizza at Zios before heading over the the Bluffs....to gamble! Yes we went to the Casinos. Eric and I went in with a limit of how much money we were willing to spend and ended up pulling out of Black Jack after about an hour of entertainment and losing a total of 25 bucks. Of course Brent came out on top winning $40 in between black jack and the crabs table.

Eric and I were invited to 2 parties on Saturday night so we party hopped to make our appearances. We really aren't that popular.....I swear.

On Saturday we took advantage of Brent having an SUV and we went to Lowe's so we could get a ladder......SO ERIC COULD INSTALL A LIGHT in our living room. YEAH!! We had the wiring for a light but the house didn't come with one so Eric can check this off his honey-do list!!

The fan AND the light work!! Good job Eric!

AND what was I doing while Eric was hard at work (besides taking pictures).....working on our lawn furniture!!

I forgot to take a before picture so you'll have to look in the picture I took the night we got our Free lawn furniture! If you look on the table and chairs there are some parts that the black part had worn off......

Nothing a can of spray paint can't fix......so far we've spent $6.42 on our lawn furniture renovations!!!

Here is one of the spots I've fixed.....not perfect but it looks better than before I started!! We are on the hunt for some new tile to add a little pizazz......stay tuned

Tomorrow I'm featuring a recipe....Cheesy Chili Recipe....come back and check it out
