After a couple months worth of having something to do on the weekends, we had a weekend with quite a bit of free time…and it was awesome.
We kicked things off Friday night when Adam came home from his business trip. In a word: sushi. Is there any better way to start the weekend? The answer is no.
Saturday morning, we work up to snow. Spring – you tricky devil. Just when we think we’re going to shake the winter – boom:
Our spirits were not dampened, however. Onward and upward. In the Macklemore spirit, we started the morning off right: at a thrift store.
We found “Steve” at the local Goodwill. Adam’s brother, Steve, is going to be one lucky son-of-a-gun come Christmas time.
Adam found this tiny glass…
…and love/inspiration. Spoiler alert: Adam has been cast as Frederic in MTI’s upcoming production of “Pirates of Penzance.” The album in the photo? Rex Smith’s album. Rex Smith played Frederic in the 1983 movie version of Pirates. Adam asked Rex for some advice but mostly stared into those gooey, puppy dog eyes.
The trip to Goodwill wasn’t all fun and games. We came away with an Easter basket, some faux grass and a brass light fixture for our bathroom to light up the makeup vanity. Grand total for all three items: $4.00.
Then came the inevitable trip to Home Depot (it’s the weekend, of course we were going to end up at Home Depot). We found epoxy for the chips in our claw foot tub (reveal coming soon) and this can of glossy white spray paint in case we found any thrifted items that could be easily resurrected by some white paint:
Post Home Depot came a quick trip to Baja Fresh (muy delicioso) and a visit to Cost Plus World Market. If let off leash there, we could do a lot of financial damage. Instead, we limited ourselves to the confines of our $25 gift card. However, all we walked away with was this adorable butter dish for only $6.99:
Although, this guy almost made the cut:
Saturday night was a low key one with our pals, the Butzes.
Sunday was a perfect day: church, nap, Sunday dinner. Featured below is one of our favorite napping partners:
We were in charge of dessert for Sunday dinner. Layne, in keeping with the Mexican theme, whipped up these Mexican brownies. They were spicy but everyone seemed to enjoy them. Who’s everyone, you ask?
Our happy hosts, Tim and Jessie:

And us…taking this normal picture:
Killer weekend? We think so!
We hope yours was great as well!
