It was a busy weekend! Friday night, we had a guys/girls night with our small group. The girls met at Autumn’s house and hung out. The guys went to see a movie (Spiderman 3) and got ice cream. It was fun to just sit around and chat, especially because a number of the newer girls came so we had time to really talk to them.
Saturday, Eric and I just hung out in the morning, but we ended up doing a lot of yard work in the afternoon. We hadn’t planned on it, but Eric went out to edge the flower beds and before we knew it we were shoveling old mulch, trimming and replanting various plants, and other such activities. Eric made me a new flower bed along the side of the house, and then we went and bought flowers to plant (which I did). I now have impatiens and two new rose bushes in the ground. Needless to say, we were pretty beat in the evening, so we watched our Nexflix movie (My Super Ex-Girlfriend) which wasn’t very good. Don’t bother with it. It had a lot of potential, but ended up just being kind of stupid.
Mother’s Day was busy, but pretty fun. We headed for Cedarville right after church and grilled out for dinner. Then Mom opened her gifts and we just hung out for the afternoon and played with the girls and Karen’s puppy. We stayed for supper (pizza) and then headed home. We were in bed just after 9:00!
Anyway, here are some pictures from Mother’s Day (boy is it nice to have our camera back!).
The girls loved the puppy. Karen fenced her in by the side door while we ate dinner, and they ran back and forth between the gates, squealing and trying to pet the puppy through the wire.
The puppy was, of course, entertaining on her own!
And we also spent a lot of time outside. That Holly LOVES to swing!! And Kelly liked to help ‘walk’ the puppy! Eric was entertaining us with his juggling skills.
^No, he didn’t get to the new mulch. Maybe, when I come back down I can tackle that project in between caring for you and the babies and Sierra!!^
Shannah, maybe you could come help replant the geraniums I was given from graduation. I don’t seem to be able to get them done!!
Sierra did come over and swing last week. I hear she had a great time! Glad you all had a nice visit yesterday. I’m sure it’s nice to see family so often.
Good job on the yard work, too. I had big plans for our flower beds, but that’s gone to the wayside. I didn’t want to plant any new flowers — just do a better job of keeping the weeds out this summer. Oh well, now I’ll have weeding to do at some point. I don’t know if Chris ever got around to putting new mulch out to try to keep the weeds away.
Great picture of Karen and Kelly walking the puppy!
Your weekend did sound busy! Glad you had fun!
Glad you had a great weekend!
Sierra loves to swing, too! In fact, we talked about that as we drove past your mom’s house last night!
