We had a busy but absolutely wonderful weekend! We did tons of work outside including -
seeding a huge bare patch in our back lawn:

planting veggies and flowers in our new little garden

more veggies

and planting lots of other flowers in our other gardens including this butterfly bush.

I also updated the photo blog with a few more pics from the weekend so check them out here.

We also took a trip to the Car.ters outlet and got some fun stuff for Cupid at their sidewalk sale and had my parents over for dinner.


The weekend was a perfect mix of beautiful weather, time together, and productive working outside. The extra day off was perfect too!

Mello Weekend

After a couple of crazy weekends - it was nice to just chill this weekend! In bulleted form - here is what we did:

*Went to the scrapbooking store and bought some fun stuff to make Hall.oween Cards

*Ran errands- groceries, etc

*Went for a walk with the dogs

*Caught up on TV from last week

*Slept late on Sunday

*Made our picks for the football pool at work

*Went for a walk by ourselves!

*Made the yummiest turkey/swiss sandwiches with homemade guacamole

*Watched the Minn.esota Vi.kings win by the skin of their teeth

*Won an auction on E.b.ay

*Had a cup of tea and watched the snow fall outside (seriously - snow already?!?! I think we are in for it this winter!)

*Watching the Pat.riots (in their throwback jerseys - boy does that confuse me) and hoping they will win

*Getting ready to make those fun Hallow.een cards.

It was an awesome weekend!

We Love a Long Weekend!

AAHHHHH!!! The long weekend - there isn't anything better. Well, maybe one thing - SUMMER VACATION! We have 20 more school days until that comes, so we'll relish our long weekend now! We have a HUGE list of outdoor projects that we would like to get completed. I'll be happy if we get through a quarter of them! We have to relax this weekend too.....

In addition to the outdoor projects, we will probably work a bit on either our quilt or scrapbook projects for this month - the first weekend of June is coming up quickly! We are going to a cookout with a couple of teacher friends on Monday as well. Other than that, we are looking forward to just hanging out and spending time together.

In TTC news - I went for my D & C follow up appointment this week and they said that everything looks good and healed well. They put me on three months of birth control and we can try again when I finish the pills. That will be the beginning of August, which is perfect for us as we are working the first two weeks of July and then going to Minnesota for the rest of the month.

That's all from here right now - we'll let you know how much we accomplish this weekend!

Enjoy your long weekend (if you get one)!
