We've rented this house for almost 6 years now and had the same curtains it came with. Not too bad, thick ones, but they didn't reach the whole window and they didn't match our stuff at all. Plus they fell down all the time. Finally got sick of it and we went curtain shopping tonight! Found some decent thermal ones at JC Penny's. Didn't have the exact color I wanted, but close and it doesn't look too bad. They are khaki colored, so a little darker than what's in our couch. I didn't want to match the blue, and a lighter colored would have blended with the walls too much. Was hoping for a mauve, but they only had red, oh well. They go almost all the way to the floor and are thermal lined, so hopefully that will help with the heating, along with the plastic on them. We also picked up a couple throw pillows for the love seat and couch. They are really funky, can't describe them, I'll take a picture to post later. But they are the same color as the curtains, so it's tied together a bit more. I bought 2 blue suede pillows the other day, kids and Keith have fun playing tic tac toe with them, lol. You know, the suede can be light blue then you run your hand across it and it's a darker shade. It looks so much better in here, can't believe it took me 6 years to do some basic changes!
We also went to the cell phone store. Our contract was up and we needed new phones. Decided to check out what Verizon had to offer instead of US Cellular. We walked out a few hundred bucks less, but got some fun stuff!! 2 new phones with all the bells and whistles for less than what US Cellular would charge us! It's gonna take us a while to figure them all out. We've got unlimited texting, unlimited photo and video sending, unlimited mobile to mobile, unlimited GPS navigation and unlimited email/web browsing! To get that elsewhere would have been $50-$100 more per month! Keith and I picked out the same phones, he liked the touch screen, I liked the bigger buttons for texting.
Also made a stop to Toys R Us so the kids could get the exclusive new Pokemon character for their Nintendo DS. It's a download thing, quick and simple, but you had to go to the store to get it. So the boys got that and Keith found a new PSP game on clearance he wanted, has some old school games on it.
It was now after 8pm and we didn't have dinner before we left, so Keith was kind enough to take us to Sonic :) Kaden was tired of shopping so getting Sonic made his evening!! Grab our food and was home to get the kids into bed at 9pm. Late night, they didn't get to shower, so hopefully they wake up early enough in the morning so they don't smell for school!
Salem has his Valentine party tomorrow as he doesn't have school Friday. Kaden has an early out Friday, so his party is then. They both made some fun valentines to hand out this year. No store bought sign your names one, they had to work to make these...and me too. I'll have the kids pose with them to get a shot.
Off to play with the new phones!
