tHRee foLd

our weekend was busy, busy, busy. but oh so fun. we got a lot of stuff done and even found time for a few fun things along the way.

part 1

clay was sworn into the kansas bar. we drove to topeka for the ceremony and then stopped in lawrence for a delicious lunch.

apparently purchasing a home means you have weekend plans for the rest of your life.

clay spent saturday doing this


and putting these together


now our backyard is super cute. here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure.


while clay was making our yard look fabulous, i was busy doing this


making our hallway look fabulous. i had the brilliant idea (thank you domino magazine) to paint stripes in our hallway. i had no stinkin' idea it would take NINE hours! that's right. about six of those nine hours were spent taping it off. clay had to go back to sherwin williams twice to get more tape. yikes! but once the tape came off...it was worth it. i still haven't hung anything yet, but here's a before and after picture.

sunday we got to hang out with clay's family and celebrate his brother's birthday. jordan just moved back to kc from miami and it is great to have him back! we ate some delicious indian food and played a crazy card game called munchkin.

it was a great weekend. and to make it even better...spring has arrived! flowers are blooming, trees are green and the weather is fabulous (most days). it is so fun to see all of our landscaping blooming and to discover something new all the time. check out these cutie flowers that are blooming on a tree in our front yard.

happy spring everyone!

Love the chairs and hall way! What a great idea to paint stripes. It looks like it was a lot of work though. You have a lot of patience to tape it all off!
