Busy Busy Busy

It has been a very productive yet relaxing weekend. Thursday morning I took the kids to Daddy's work to meet people and look around. They were entirely unimpressed, but I had a good time. Then I got a call from Home Depot saying the pantry cabinets we ordered a few weeks ago were in. Yay! Long story short, after another fiasco we finally got the dumb cabinets and will never be shopping at Home Depot ever ever again. We basically swore off the store a year or so ago, but were forced to order the pantry from them because that's where our kitchen cabinets came from and we obviously wanted them to match. We will never cheat on Lowes again.
Here is a before, like waaaaay before, before we moved in or painted. Ewww, that yellow hurts.


And here is the after. Thad still needs to put the filler in that gap above the fridge, but other than that, ta-da!

I stayed up late friday evening moving our food from closet to pantry, and then saturday evening moving the rest of the closets in the house around. I love organizing, it really makes me happy. Saturday we had a baby shower for my SIL Tenille. It was fun, and I ate too much, but who can resist chicken salad croissant sandwhiches and costco cake? Yum.
We have also been working on the primary activity day I have coming up at the end of the month. We are doing the armor of God, and guess who got roped into being the guest speaker Capt Moroni? Don't worry, Thad's really excited about it because he gets to wear a full suit of cardboard armor and fight some lamanites. Here is a sneak peak of what he and Andi have been working on.

Funny note about that picture, taken right before church. Andi thought she looked very Dorothy-esq with her braids and plaid dress and carried around a little toy dog in a basket purse all morning. She kept asking me to put apples in the purse and was really sad when she couldn't bring them to church.

Sorry I crashed the party and then ran out. I felt so dumb as I ran back out to my car. I didnt even see you there, I was too embarrassed to actually look around. I love your cabinets!!! We want to put new cabinets in the Hunts kitchen but I think we will just paint them for now. I am jealous of your huge pantry!!!!

nice cabinets. I would say they were worth the fiasco. Dusted feet and all :)
PS When cameron spoke in our ward a few weeks ago they had his name in the program as moroni maher. And since he's officially a capt in the airforce these days, you could get a "REAL" Capt Moroni to come be your guest speaker :) Too bad you probably don't have enough cardboard to dress him up :) hahaha.
