Mud - Fest

So while I was getting things done inside the house, my boys were outside. I heard a lot of laughter....what could be so fun outside??

How about a little bit of mud???

This child LOVES the dirt, but even more than dirt, is DIRT with WATER!
This was also right before we were to leave for our "date night".... but this kid had a great time!

Funny thing is Grandma Judi said that Scott was exactly like this....so it's true....

Like Father, Like Son

T.G.I.F.

I love holiday weekends, but more so when my husband takes an extra day off {like today!}...I got to sleep in until 7:30am {which on a preschool day that is sleeping in}...I didn't have to take Noah to school because he wanted his cool dad to do it...I got to get ready without hurrying and took my time......

AND..... I got my new furniture today for our loft area {it's a huge "landing" area at the top of our stairs}...I love it!!! We now need to hang up our pictures and bring the lamp back upstairs. I'll post another picture when it's "complete". We also ordered fabric to match the pieces to make drapes and a cornice board. YAY! What a great way to start off the weekend....

PLUS...we got lunch at one of our favorite places!
AND, we are having a Date Night tonight....I'm sure some of you can't believe it, but I love action movies and I have been wanting to see the new Fast & Furious movie. So off to the dollar movie theatre....
AND...then for dinner at another favorite place.

Could this day get any better???


I hope you have plans for a fun weekend. We are going to visit our friends down in Coronado tomorrow, they are camping down there for the weekend. Then Monday we are going to go see the new Night at the Museum movie and have a BBQ/Swim party at my parents.


Before we know it Tuesday will be here! Have a great weekend!

Better pictures

Here are the pictures that look better without the sun being in the way....

GEEZ!!

IT'S JUST A HAIRCUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gotta love a deal!

I've been on a roll lately, NO PUN INTENDED!! I had already went this week and stocked up on this GREAT sale of toilet paper and paper towels....but we went back tonight before it ended....

Everyone loves a deal {especially one we throw away!}

But I love to see that I saved 55% on my purchase.

I was so happy I just had to share!

{It's the little things that do it}

The flowers are hung on the fence with care...

The flowers are hung on the fence with care....in hopes that.....ok, that was meant to be funny...but it's not working out that way.

The pictures really need to be taken in the morning because the sun is ruining these pictures, but you can get the jist of what the yard looks like.

This is the before (that you have seen before) and the one below is with the baskets hung. I promise to take some in the morning when you get a better appreciation for the beauty.

this is the more on the side yard...
close ups - I love these Dahlia's.... and my favorite flowers...Gerbera Daisies. I know my gardener planted them for me!
