A Clean Slate

Even though yesterday started out as a Blah kind of day, it turned out pretty good! We went to IHOP to take part in National Pancake Day. Hubby and I got free short stacks plus loaded country potatoes. Oh man, Yum! Benjamin chewed on a straw and looked at his creation flash cards while he waited for his grilled cheese. He ate the whole sandwich and then some french fries!


Chewing on a straw...


Yummm.


Oh yeah, yum!

After that we went to Walmart and bought a bunch of things for our dinner party later this week, plus some weed killer because I am going to be working out in the flower beds, finally! I have some amaryllis bulbs I need to plant! After Walmart, we went to Chris and Kayla's and watched LOST and it was awesome.

And I really didn't have anything to do with it, but here's why it was so awesome. Our kitchen went from this:


Say it with me, everyone: "EEWWWWWWWWWW!"

to this:



Seriously! Doesn't it look brand new?! I love it, I LOVE it, I LOVE IT! And Benjamin has already broken it in with a little puke (apple juice seems to make him puke). But no matter! Not hard to clean up! It's like a fresh start - a clean slate! Oh man. Did I mention that I love it? Because I do. I love it!

Oh, and this article makes me want to rethink my issue with my lovehandles... ... not!
