Saturday Scores

I bet when you read the title of this post it would be about the NCAA Basketball Tournament...right? Well, if you are a huge basketball fan, I'm sorry this post will be a huge disappointment! In actuality, the post is about our Saturday shopping adventures.

In the very near future, we will be having our kitchen remodeled. We have been in the planning stages for several months...talking with contractors, gathering samples for cabinets/countertops, researching appliance options, etc. Several weeks ago, we attempted to go appliance shopping with Kyle in tow, but he wasn't in the shopping mood, so we didn't get very much accomplished. John and I thought it would be much more productive to shop without Kyle. Today was the day and we were so very productive. We had done plenty of homework before our shopping excursion which really helped us not to become overwhelmed with all the various options available. I'm not going to go into details about our new kitchen (just yet!) but we did finalize our purchases for lighting, backsplash tile, and new appliances. We had previously decided on the cabinets and countertop so all the details are now finalized. We are so looking forward to our new kitchen since it is in major need of a face lift. Once the project gets into full swing, I'm sure I will be posting pictures for all to see! Since we were out and about without Kyle, we were even able to sneak in a nice quiet lunch this afternoon as well...which is always a nice treat!

Kyle spent the morning and early part of the afternoon with a babysitter. We absolutely LOVED the sitter...she was wonderful and such a perfect fit for Kyle. They had a fun time playing with Kyle's cars/trucks, coloring/drawing, reading books, and playing ball!

This evening we had a little more shopping to accomplish and Kyle tagged along with us on this trip. He was completely fascinated by the tractors on display in the store. We let him "test drive" one or two and he certainly approved...I think he wanted to drive one of them home...LOL!

We are settled in for the evening and wondering how much snow we will see later tonight. Mother Nature sure has been teasing us recently with all the beautiful spring like weather. Who knows, maybe I will be sharing some family fun pictures in the snow tomorrow.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!
