We had friends staying with us last night, which was a nice break from all the home improvement we’ve been doing most nights lately. We did manage to have the guest room all put back together in time for their visit, which was a plus. The weather was really nice, so my husband grilled burgers outside, and I made oven fries and baked apples. Then this morning I made pancakes for breakfast before our friends left. Our total food bill for their visit was about $25 – quite a bit less than we would have spent if we had gone out to dinner/breakfast with them, even splitting the tab.
Now we’re about to start in on the floors again. We moved everything except the bed out of our bedroom a couple days ago, so we’re all set to start putting down flooring in our room. Hopefully by the end of the weekend we’ll have this project behind us, although it may take longer than that to get everything put back where it belongs. I’m determined to keep the house as clutter-free as possible, which means we’re going to be making a trip to the thrift store with a car-load of donations before all the stuff goes back in our room and the baby’s room. We have some stuff that I had been planning to sell on Craig’s List, but I think I’m just going to donate it instead, just to get it out of the house. It will be nice to have lots of wide open spaces and clutter-free surfaces.
Ok, the floors are calling, I can’t procrastinate any longer…

It’s awesome that you were able to entertain on so little! And it’s a double plus that you had fun and tasty food. Well done :)
