In your heart you plan your life. But the Lord decides where your steps will take you. Proverbs 16:9

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
for love and friends,
For everything
Thy goodness sends.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

our fun-filled weekend...

Charlie...LOVES to be outside. I cannot emphasize that enough. This guy LOVES to be outside!! I think he needs a summer hair cut, though...he gets hot and is always looking for shade - poor guy!

G-mans's new grin...until another tooth comes out (or a new one comes in is more like it!)

Ms. K's toy grasshopper...my kids love these animal toys...too funny! :)

Ms. P showing off her tongue after having an Otter Pop...(so is Ms. K on the other swing!)

Wow - what a weekend we had! Did some expected & some unexpected things!

Here are the highlights of our busy, activity-filled weekend:

  • Bought a new dining "suite" (okay, that's what our saleslady called it - trying to make us feel extra special or something...) - with MY wording - we got a new dining SET. But, of course, nothing can be easy and each piece has it's own story - so let me tell you. :)TABLE: the table was delivered and upon our inspection, it has 2 chips in the marble top (a real bummer...and not something you want in marble, of all surfaces) - a new table will be delivered this week. BUFFET/SERVER: the top of the buffet is great and has no chips in it, BUT one of the drawers has a crack down the side. So, a new drawer is being ordered. CHAIRS: the leather chairs are back-ordered...we'll get them in a couple weeks. So - this dining "suite" purchase will been quite the process by the time it's all over!
  • We did yardwork all weekend and got a ton done. We're just about done with the big stuff we wanted to accomplish (for this season anyways!).
  • Watched some friends kids most of Sunday. That was busy but really fun!! The kids were wiped out from a weekend of play, play and more play.
  • G-man's last soccer game
  • Barbequed.......so yummy
  • Made home-made pizza.......so yummy
  • Ms. P learned to ride her bike with training wheels - she's SO proud (and so are we!!)
  • Ms. P got a "big girl" carseat - again, she's SO proud of it!
  • Mr. G-man lost a tooth (this is#7)!
  • Bought a lot of seed packets for our garden boxes - which are finally complete! Now we just need the compost mixture to go inside the boxes which we'll do SOON! We're so excited about this project.
  • Couple trips to the hardware and grocery store (not complete without some candy, toy grasshoppers for each and a bug catcher - so fun!)
  • consumed many Otter Pops - the white ones are my favorite (coconut flavored)...and now the kids always want the white ones b/c I make such a big deal about the white ones...I branched out and had an orange one - it was good, too. Otter Pops are one of my favorite warm weather treats - so much better than popsicles (in my opinion). :) I'm craving one right now, actually...not good...not good...I've given up lattes, now Otter Pops may be my new "addiction" - argh!
  • Watched one of the Indiana Jones movies with the kids - they were so excited about this. Indiana Jones is a new favorite right now...Star Wars is "old news"...oh my...
  • started buying some clothes for our upcoming vacation - fun fun!
  • got a sunburn - that's always fun (ha ha)
  • I know there's more.......
