Weekending: DIY and Bad Behavior edition

Happy Monday!!!!!

So yes I have been a little MIA but to be honest these past couple of weeks have been the most stressful ever. Remember when I explained why I went back to work and a big part of it was because of the uncertainty surrounding Isaac's knee? well looks like me speaking that into existence is a real thing. After a series of MRI's and doctors appointments in Tokyo and on base we found out that Isaac will be having knee surgery, for the second time in just under 2 years, on Thursday. As you can imagine he was less than thrilled but I am trying to be as supportive and upbeat as I can possibly be for him. Then this morning we got the news that his surgery has been pushed back to June so we were relieved and less stressed and celebrated at Chili's

anyway on to the fun stuff!
Friday and Saturday were pretty regular boring days. I worked until 5 Friday night and Isaac was gone to Odaiba with his friends all day Saturday. since I didn't go and he doesn't share my love for pictures and oversharing I got absolutely zero pictures. Don't worry though after Isaac recovers we are going back as a family because there is a bunch of stuff to do there, including a maritime museum, which if you know me personally you know I am so stoked about!

Sunday Isaac surprised Logan and I with breakfast at Route 16 on base, and then came home to overhaul Logan's train table. We got this train table that Logan loves from my friend Kelly (we miss you Kelly!!) when we lived in Long Beach last year. The white paint in this year has been drawn on, stickers stuck to it, food and dirt all over it, the works. When it arrived here in Japan Isaac and Logan were talking and decided that it would be a good idea to paint it blue since that is his new favorite color. We are not DIY people....it is so much easier for us to pay someone but Logan wanted Isaac to do it so we bought a mask, some spray paint and some sanding stuff and headed out to the patio.
 
 
 

It isn't perfect but it looks so much better in his room, it hides the dirt much better nad most importantly Logan loves it!
 
 
 

Afterwards we headed to Aeon Mall, which is about 5 minutes from our house, and tried to go shopping. the key word there is TRIED. Logan was in the worst mood ever and I am just going to be honest.....HE WAS HORRIBLE. We got through H&M and then decided that before we tried to give Logan away to a Japanese family it was better to leave. There were tantrums, manikin arms pulled down and a stern, but extremely quiet, talking to. In Japan it is very bad to scold or discipline your child in public so you can just imagine how this went over. yeah it was time to go. I got a couple of shirts and decided that I was getting a sitter next time we both wanted to be at the mall.

If you follow me on instagram then you know that I was super excited for and attempted to navigate Lilly Pulizter for Target launch....
 
 
that was a big fat fail.
 
 


Once I finally got on all of the things in my size were sold our or available in store only so I quit and decided to watch Gold Rush with Isaac.

Soooo that was my weekend. How was yours??? Did you do anything cool?

  4. I'm sorry to hear about Isaac's knee. :/ My knee problems were a big reason for me wanting out of the AF. If y'all need anything, let me know.
    This whole Lilly thing seriously has my mind blown the more I read about it. LOL. I hope they get more in stock soon! I just really hate it for so many girls who missed out because of greed. This is why we can't have nice things!

    1. I am with you! Greedy ladies always ruin the target launches for the rest of us who just want a few items..so frustrating

  5. It is crazy how quickly that line sold out- I heard some stories about some pretty nasty ladies in the stores and totally hoarding of products. The table looks great and yes blue will be much more forgiving than white. There was one time when I didn't even make it into the store with my kids as they were throwing fits. Thanks so much for linking up with the Best of the Blogosphere link party.

    1. Yeah I have heard some lilly horror stories but I was bummed the site kept crashing. I am hoping blue will make it look like I clean his room everyone once in a while because no matter how often I cleaned that white table with a 3 year old boy it always looked dirty haha

  6. Wow, wonderful work on the table! And all I keep hearing about is that Target/Lilly stuff. I definitely missed the whole boat myself haha. Thanks so much for linking up at MeetUp Monday, and hope to see you again next week!
