Our first week-end

The weekend went by like a whirlwind. We decided since we were getting a new refrigerator we might as well get the stove now too. We ran into a few glitches when we went to look for appliances -namely size! Who knew the appliance built back in the 60's were minuscule compared to  today's monstrosities!  Deciding between a full size stove or a full size refrigerator was an unexpected headache! Hmmm.

Refrigerator - stove?
Stove - refrigerator?

Well, since I love to bake and and the boys are slowly fleeing the coop, a full size stove it is!
We drove all around town hoping to just buy the appliances and bring them home.  We were 50% successful. We found an awesome stove at the Sears outlet, and got almost $250 off for a tiny little scratch on the side. Score!! Not so lucky on the refrigerator side. We ended up ordering it and have to wait for 4 more days to pick it up. MORE take-out anyone?

Besides the appliances we cleaned, unpacked boxes and, rearranged furniture. Since the exterminator was here on Friday and gave us some recommendations we also spent quite a bit of our time putting Great Stuff in a bunch of holes that had become private entrances for our rodent nemesises! Is that even a word!?!!  I am beyond determined to make my new home a mouse-free fortress!!
