Slow weekend.

Weekend = Work. Grocery shopping. Work. Bears last dr. visit till Sept. A Sunday night doing nothing because Pat had to work and overnight. Saturday Pat and Bear went to a birthday party for Bear's cousin Lottie. I made a yogurt and whip cream pie on Sunday. We (or just me) will eat it tonight after dinner. It was a slow weekend. Not many pictures were taken. Here are the ones that were. Enjoy?

Part 1

Things I would like to do or have in our home. We just started making our home a home about 2 years ago. It is still a work in progress. I hope to have it done by the time we are 30. Or atleast 90% done.

Dining room of bloggers Jeremy & Kathleen. I would like to do this in one of our rooms. Maybe the bathroom?

Yummy yummy!

I am always looking for cheap recipes to make. While I was doing my usual blog browsing I found a recipe for a yogurt pie (I would link it, but now I can't find it). All you need is 2 small containers of yogurt (any flavor), a tub of whipped topping and crust. Mix the topping and yogurt and spoon into crust. Chill and serve. I can not wait to make this!

Weekend fun!

Weekend = BIRTHDAY! Zoo trip. Father's Day BBQ. Ice cream cake. Water balloon fight. Games with a fun couple. Swimming in clothes. Hot hot hot heat. New Sarah Silverman book (which is super funny!) and BIG sunglasses. We had SO much fun!

Our kid is a pig. He is learning how to use a fork/spoon. It is very hard to let him eat on his own. I don't believe in bibs anymore. So his shirt usually ends up like this. He only eats one meal a day that is messy. And that is usually dinner when after he eats he changes into PJ's. Or he isn't wearing a shirt at all because of the heat. He is doing well...except for tonight. Tonight he got carried away. He gave up using his spoon after two bites. I let him go since he was tired and just down right hungry. He was happy. I was happy. And most of all, his tummy was happy.

Weekend tiddly bits

Yarn is awesome

These yarns are lovely. I am inlove with Purl.com. I want to spend my entire paycheck on them. I am going to teach myself how to crochet even if it kills me. I want to make a cowl neck scarf for next winter.

If I saw a shooting star...

I would wish for a pair of these. I would love a new pair of sneakers for this summer. But I can only afford $12 flats from target. I guess I will just have to save my ashtray change for something other than .59 fountain soda from the gas station.

Weekend review...

Three day weekend = A lot of sitting around. Got to sleep in thanks to Holden being a good boy and my loving boyfriend. BBQing every night. We put the pool up, kindof. Still needs more water. Holden said "No Mom!" for the first time and pretty much "No!" after every question asked. Holden also had goldfish crackers for the first time. It was love at first sight. We had a bad storm that included a tornado, but Pat and I slept through the whole thing. Went to our birthday dinner at Pat's parents house. Ate a lot of steak and took a lot home to have on Sunday. Almost went back to the art museum but a busy festival and bad weather kept us away. Maybe next week. The newspaper delivery guy delivered 2 giant stacks of newspapers to us. We are so not newspaper delivery boys. It should make wonderful a fire starter.Not many pictures were taken this weekend. So not much to post. Will do better next weekend. ONE MORE WEEK TILL VACATION STARTS!!!




(Holden pooped after a long night of storms.Holden kept climbing in and around the giant bag of newspapers. And finally, Holden enjoying some suds.)
