Mari smiled lightly to him, her face light. "That'd be perfect!" She giggled happily, taking the papers back from him and pacing it aside. She shifted to straddle him, her arms wrapped around his neck happily as she went to peck his lips. "Oh, Sage, I can't wait!" She giggled happily to the boy. They had space for their family to grow now... and Sage could even put an extension on it if he liked it. They had an extra bedroom and a huge walk in closet that wasn't attached to anybody's room... they could take the drawers out of there and make it into yet another room.

Sage grinned happily when the girl said it would be perfect and went to reach for another piece of paper, but ended up with his arms wrapped around her happily when she sat on top of him. He kissed her back happily, eyes glittering, and hummed in agreement. "Me either," he chirped. "After tomorrow I'll start actually working on it," he promised her lightly. "We can work on all the rooms today," he hummed happily. He really was excited for all of this. A house for their family to grow, plenty of fields for horses and woods for hunting and fishing and stuff....and the fact that he could design and decorate it all made it even better.

Mari hummed happily before pecking his lips softly once more. She grinned over at him. "Today?" She asked excitedly. The room that Silas would be staying in was pretty much perfect... so they could just slap some paint in there and move some of his things in... they'd have to take him with them when working on the house, so they could make sure he had a nice place to be while they were doing that... because they couldn't afford to leave him in the room all day, and she wouldn't want to do that anyway. "Can we do Silas's today then relax a little bit?" She asked with a bit of a hum. Also, relaxing meant she could have all of Sages things ready for him.

Sage hummed lightly and shrugged. "If you wanted to," he mused lightly. He cocked his head slightly and nodded in agreement. "Can we do the kitchen too," he pleaded. "I have good ideas and I don't wanna forget them," he chuckled. It wouldn't take long, though, and he was more than happy to just relax with the girl. "We can do more tomorrow...it's fun so I don't mind," he told her with a shrug, pecking her lips again lightly. Silas's room wouldn't be that much work....they really only had to paint and move some things into the room once that was all done. The kitchen wouldn't be too much either....the oven and everything was already in there, but he wanted to redo the table tops and counters, as well as paint and cupboard and the few decorations they'd have in there. He was excited about the living room too, but that would take longer because they needed furniture and decorations and all the rest.

Mari rolled her eyes at him before shaking her head. "Sage, it's your birthday! We can't spend the whole of tomorrow on the house. I want you to myself so I can treat you," she huffed before rolling her eyes in complaint. "We can start everything today. The house isn't that bad, just needs personalising a little bit," she told him with a bit of a chuckle. She pecked his lips to him once more before handing him the paper he'd drawn. "Silas's room and kitchen today. Tomorrow you're going to go absolutely nothing, then we'll start the rest after that, alight?" She asked with a bit of a chuckle, the rummaged around for some light grey paint that would look wonderful against Silas's walls, and the a bag full of his things, like the baby bed he slept in before the crib. He was too big for it now, but for a few hours a day while they were working it'd be just fine. She smiled happily to him before dragging him out, Silas in one arm and the bag of things in the other as she wondered down to the house next to him. They did put some paint on his walls, and it already looked a lot better... she made sure he was all set up before helping Sage in the kitchen... they were done within a few hours, and on the way back they stopped by the horses for Sage to do his job before wondering back towards their room... they did look a bit tired, but we're happy enough. Mari soon layed Silas in his cot before flopping down on the bed with a heavy sigh.

Sage chuckled lightly and nodded with a light groan. "Ok, ok," he laughed. "No working on the house tomorrow," he promised lightly. He helped her pick out a shade of grey that would go well with the rest of the house, and then let her drag him around. They got silas's room painted and ready, and left some toys in there for him to keep him safe and content while they painted the kitchen and swept up the floor and whatnot. He'd do the rest of the kitchen later....he wanted to surprise her with some new table tops and whatnot. He'd found some trees that had resin in them out by the barn, and was planning on using that and some paints to color it to make custom table tops and counter for the island. He'd do a white base with the light green color they'd painted the walls marbled into it. He'd experimented a bit so he knew it would work...and it looked great. He planned on doing the same with the bathrooms and such, but they hadn't decided on designs or paint colors for those yet, so he'd wait. He was more than happy to collapse on the bed once they got back, though. He got up again after they'd had their dinner to get the barn done, and got back around bedtime. He was more than happy to curl up and get to sleep, really just dreaming about surprising Mari. But that would wait.

Mari smiled when Sage came into bed with her, and rolled over to curl into him. She wasn't particularly hungry... she'd felt awfully sick at the time. But that had eased away. She wasn't tired anymore, so she probably go get checked up by the doctor... she might have picked up some sort of bug while away. But that wasn't a today issue, nor a tomorrow issue. The rest of today, and all of tomorrow... that was for Sage. To do whatever he wanted, and make sure it was all perfect. "Is there anything you really want to do tomorrow?" She asked with a small smile as she hovered over him. "I've got the day off - so I can follow you wherever you go," she mused with a big of a chuckle.

Sage smiled when the girl curled up and into him, more than happy to go to sleep. He looked up at her when she asked her question, and chuckled at her comment before shaking his head. "No, not really," he mused. "I'm more than happy to just spend some time with you and Silas," he hummed lightly, alibet sleepily, and let out a yawn before tugging the girl back down into a sleeping position and burying his head into her. "Right now I want to go to sleep," he mumbled into her chest, though of course not upset she was asking what he wanted to do tomorrow....he was excited, probably just as much as she was, if not more so.

Mark squeaked a little bit when the boy went to pull her down, but curled up happily anyway. She'd think of something... even if it was just a bit of a picnic out of the lawn. Just something. She fell asleep fairly quickly, but again woke up early the next day.. she wanted to make a special dinner, so got it started in the morning and made a breakfast up, sweet with scones and the likes. She made him tea and everything, and placed a little box with his first present inside... it was a small necklace, with a tiny little dagger on it. It was more of a wooden bead choker, but it still looked very smart, and would look good worn with Sages cross. It'd suit him, she hoped, but it wasn't one of the main presents. Just one she'd picked up while away shopping.

Sage chuckled lightly at the girls squeak, but smiled happily when she curled up and cuddled up with her himself. He slept rather well through the night, though did wake up once, unable to go back to sleep for an hour or so since he started daydreaming about what Mari had planned. He was able to fall back asleep soon enough, even though he was still rather excited. It would be his first birthday with his family where everyone was happy and healthy....and he was just glad about that, but no doubt Mari was planning on spoiling him all day long. He still wants completely used to that ...but he was growing more used to it he supposed, the more she did it. And sometimes, like birthdays, it was nicer than usual. Not that it wasn't ever not nice, but still.
