Steamy Sunday!

   It's been a pretty hot and humid day here - the first of many - and luckily, we still have another day off tomorrow = Memorial Day. So we still have a chance to get a lot more done around the house.
   We did manage to get a few things done today - and ventured outside into the steamy yard to take care of a few things out there too...

- slept in until 8:30am (well Elisa did, Kevin was up earlier...)
- hung new art in the kitchen:

The artwork we ordered this week from Society6 arrived and we promptly hung up  "Let's All Go And Have Breakfast" by Teo Zirinis and added the little watercolor of Finch from Kevin's mom right below :) 

- and in honor of our new kitchen artwork, Kevin made me a yummy breakfast!

cheesy eyebrows, and mini pepperoni eyeballs! Yum!!

- Elisa = cut peonies and irises from out back to bring inside!
- Kevin = picked up paint from Home Depot and stretched some carpet with the "carpet kicker"
- Laundry
- Elisa = Kitchen Cleaning
- Finch = laying around on his beach towel

- Kevin = Mowed the backyard and sprayed the yard for bugs
- Elisa = planted flowers in the big pots in the front and back yard
- Kevin = Pressure washed the deck

We purchased a pressure washer a few weeks ago, and had a chance to test it out! Man! What a difference it makes! Our cedar deck has grayed over the years - which looks fine - but it's gotten grimy and green in some places. Time to make it look brand new!

- Elisa = made spice rub for beer can chicken
- Kevin = made beer can chicken ( the recipe ACTUALLY says "dump out 1/3 of the can of beer" - Kevin was appalled! He changed it to "drink 1/3 of the can of beer and have an additional can on hand to consume immediately..."

Here the little chicken all rubbed up and ready to cook! It was SO tender and juicy!
Cooks for an hour and a half on the grill, but is super easy.

- Kevin - cleaned out the downstairs bedroom
- Spackling and sanding downstairs - ready to paint!
- Cleaned up the house in preparation for family over for grilling tomorrow evening!

   With 90 degree weather, and SO much humidity, there was bound to be some storms. Kevin got his new car in the garage just in time - although we didn't end up with any hail, other's got it who are pretty close by. It's been storming for hours now, but most of the super severe weather headed north of us.
   As my family says "THUNDER BOOMIES!!"

Did you have a productive weekend?

Have a fun and safe Memorial Day!
