So yesterday I spent most of the day putting up Erik’s 99 red balloons in his room. 200 plus stickers. My hands and back are still sore from doing them. When Erik first saw them though his eyes lit right up and he started smiling. Then he kept pointing at them and wanting to touch them. What a great kid. He says bawwoon every time he sees them.
Nothing horribly new on the Erik front. He is obsessed with Shrek for some reason. We watch it everyday. And I mean, everyday. Sometimes, no joke, twice a day. I rotate between Shrek 1 and Shrek 2, but my god. The kid is obsessed. It’s so funny too, because he will sit through the whole thing every time like he has never seen it before. Every time to him is the first time. He laughs and smiles and makes funny faces throughout the movie too. His new favorite word to say is donkey. Sounds more like dawnkey but that’s okay. 
Erik still loves the puppy dogs though. When I dropped Drake off to get his grooming Erik starting screaming when the lady took him away. I don’t know why, the dogs are such a pain. I have finally gotten Erik to kind of listen to my reasoning with him. When we are in the car and he decides to pitch a large fit, I just say firmly that when we get home he will go immediately to bed and no more Shrek. He will stop immediately. He hates the threat of having to go to bed. But at the same time, he is so good about bed time. I’m not sure about him.

So I have gotten a few things done in the camp finally that has made it feel more like home. I have the curtains up and the way they are going to stay for the most part. The curtains that are upstairs on the sliding doors are too long and need to be hemmed, but as for the lack of sewing machine, it’s going to have to wait until I can borrow one. I got most of Erik’s room done. I just have to grab some red paint to paint the shelf on his headboard. Then I’m going to paint his hands and have him put his hand prints on the wall. I am also going to pick up some blinds for him today, and a curtain rod to hang up the curtain in the doorway between his room and the bathroom (just for now, until we get that room done). Speaking of, this weekend is going to be filled with fixing the floor back there and getting a new water heater. Well not Saturday, but Sunday.
Saturday I’m taking Brandon out for his birthday. We are going to a nice wine bar/restaurant and then are going to go play laser tag. Neither of us have ever done it, so it will prove to be interesting. Haha, we’ll probably be horrible, but it’s all in good fun. Then we might head back to the restaurant we were originally at because they have live music on Saturday nights starting at nine. It’s also a wine bar, and we all know how much Brandon and I love wine…
I’ve got all of the pictures hung up here as well. Most of the furniture is here, besides our bed. We are using Brandon’s old bed right now, and it’s proving our theory on our bed that is currently still sitting at the house. Brandon and I are both suffering from back pain. Once you sleep on our mattress for awhile, you can’t sleep on anything else without hurting. So, we desperately miss our bed. Hopefully we can get it within the next couple of weeks. It’s going to require a trip with the trailer down since it’s so big. We are also hoping for a purchase offer on the house…sometime, like, now. We know it’s only been a little over a week, but, well, we need to sell it.
