Summer Weekend in the Iladelph

This weekend was our first in a long time at home in Philly and we had no plans. We saw that SteveO from Jackass was playing at Helium Comedy Club Friday nights so we decided to go see him with Dan and Kathleen.

The opening acts were decent but SteveO kind of sucked...and he seemed like a total jerk. It was a fun night out together but I wouldn't recommend SteveO as a comedian.

Our kitchen floor tiles came in faster than expected so we got a call mid week that we were able to pick them up on Saturday morning! Since the tiles are 24x24, we only had to order 48 tiles to cover our 200 sq. ft kitchen. The tiles are huge and heavy so they came in packs of four, meaning only 12 boxes. We didn't think anything of packing them all into the Civic but the look on the guys face when we told him we didn't have a truck was priceless.

We were able to load all the tiles in the Civic in one trip but the poor car was at least six inches closer to the ground than normal. Luckily, it was only a half mile drive home.

We were so excited to actually have the tiles that we opened up a box and laid them out on the kitchen floor. We are so used to having our old, nasty kitchen floor, it really is going to be amazing to have beautiful floors.

Merrill is completely narcissistic so he loves the gray floors that perfectly match his fur. Timmy is Timmy, so he enjoyed playing around the floor while we took measurements.

This week also marked the beginning of my mom's huge kitchen transformation. After three days of installation, the cabinets are almost completely installed. Next steps will be the soapstone countertops and all the fun decorating. It really is beautiful so far...

This weekend we are off to Seattle to see my Uncle Kyle compete in Ironman Canada in Whistler-our last weekend before the kitchen madness begins :)
