Valentine's Day (and Day 18)

Oh Valentine's Day.

While I was still at work, Adam finished putting on the cup pulls on the lower cabinets. He ran into a problem we hadn't thought of though. There are 2 drawers in the corner. After putting on one of the pulls, he discovered that you can't open the other one if it has anything on the face (knob, pull or cup). Great... I use these two drawers a lot, so just having them look pretty with the pulls but unusable because they can't be opened isn't an option. Not sure what we're going to do yet. Frustrating!

The drawer dilemma

After work, I stopped by Home Depot for a few tiling supplies and silicone to put around our sink. Of course, I get home only to discover that the silicone isn't in the bag. But it was on the receipt. UGH. Super annoying.

I took Chester for his evening stroll around the block, while Adam got a lot of the food prepped for dinner. He grilled steak, shrimp, asparagus and garlic bread. It was delicious. We enjoyed it with some champagne on a picnic in our living room. Chester was not impressed to be put in his pen by the front door.

I should have got out the Canon.

Adam and Chester got me some beautiful roses. My favorite flower ever. It's one of the few that doesn't make me sick from the pollen and scent. They smell so fresh.

 I also got an adorable card my goddaughter Ava made. Complete with lots of glitter!

Then the boys opened their presents. Chester got Adam a nice card that he signed himself (as he tried to eat the pen) and a deck of cards featuring himself.

Who is that handsome pug on there?

 I also got Adam a card, personalized photo mug, and "fishing tackle" candy box. I thought it was cute considering his new favorite hobby.

 Chester got a new nylabone and then a stuffing free squirrel toy from us. He enjoyed shaking and "killing" the poor squirrel. He's obsessed with it, but I'm sure it will be destroyed in a few short days.

We gave him the gifts in the living room, but he raced off with them to his spot by the front door

 Chester also enjoyed the valentine's he got in the mail from my mom, dad and Stine. Addressed to "Chester Lorang" of course.

Once the fun was over, I sanded down the counter a bit, fixed my wood putty mistake at the sink crack (turned out too dark once waterloxed), and put on coat #3 of Waterlox. Hopefully it'll look good once dry and I'll be able to put the satin coat on. We seriously cannot wait to have a usable countertop again!
