The rest of our day

James was a little sad that he had to endure a couple of blogless days. I can't help it.... for one thing i have been super busy shopping all over town with my mom, and working on some "while you were out projects," and also my four-year-old has been the worst kid ever this week! It is almost like someone switched out his little personality. I sure hope the old Aidan comes back soon...... I miss him alot! I am not sure if the change is because James is gone, or because Aidan has been sick, or if he just decided that we are too complacent and we need some new challenges in our life. I hope it is just because he has been sick.........

Anyway, here are some more pictures from our weekend. I hope you enjoy them James! (and whoever else reads this blog!)

Charlie. Aidan loves to chase him around. And I love the way he makes my house smell.

One of the yard decorations my mom brought me. She made it, and we are going to make some more tomorrow to finish my paver project.

First use of the grill this year. I had to clean a bunch of birdseed out of it. I don't even want to think about how it got it there, I just remind myself that lots of fire and heat kill germs.

This pie is so delicious! It has taken me a couple years to obtain the recipe, and it was finally given to me a few weeks ago with two conditions. 1) I cannot post the recipe on my blog, and 2) I cannot bring it to any function we both might attend. So, I am just showing you a picture of the pie to tempt you, and I promise if you ever come to my house and ask me in advance, (and if blueberries are on sale that week) I will make you the pie. Here is is waiting to be garnished with lots of whipped cream before serving.

How did the bag get in here again? Can you tell i am excited about it????

Lovely piece of Depression glass that was somehow overlooked at a thrift store and priced for a mere $2.00.

Remember this? Well, look at it now. It has been cleaned, and you will have to keep checking to see what happens next. I will say, that underneath the massive pile of mess that was James' office I found the softest, most plush carpet ever. I think it is brand new. I know for sure it has not been walked on in five years.

I hope you like these colors James. I am thinking a muted Arts and Crafts style office for you, in your favorite colors, orange and purple. We'll see what happens! It is now 10:00 and I just got my second wind!
