The USA

We headed down to the states this morning for our last outing of spring break. I really wanted to get some yummy soap from bath and body works and I always find good shoes for the kids in the states. I had no idea that the sumas border crossing is so close to Bellis fair. I have never crossed the border to go to the mall from chilliwack. It is only 40km from the crossing. I was thrilled when we got there so quickly. Anyhoo...we got the soap and found some other great deals. We got Lunden a new pair of cowboy boots to replace the two pairs eaten by the dog. We also found a much cheaper pair for Klausine along with a new pair of pants. We went into Target where I found two clearance nursing bra's for $4 each!! We wandered a little bit then headed home before we started spending money just for the sake of spending it. I will take some pictures and post them tomorrow.
After we got home a started my usual flurry of cleaning. After getting quite a bit done I was not satisfied. I couldn't think of anything better to do than paint our bathroom. So I sent Carl off to get some paint and I have now finished the first coat. I didn't care what colour he chose but I am very happy with the colour. It is kind of a Hawaiian ocean colour. When I am done I will take a picture and post it. Carl is just heading back upstairs to take the tank off the toilet so I can get little bit of wall behind there. Then time to wait for it to dry so I can start all over again! Painting is way more satisfying than cleaning carpets and toys.
