After a perfect weekend of weather, we're now in the midst of a thunderstorm. Wish I would have gotten the yard fertilizer applied!
Quick recap of the weekend:
- Saturday morning: boys and I practiced "circle time" and "activity stations" as part of Bo's new training schedule. We had fun and it kept us busy while Shawn was at the flea market.
- Saturday at 11:30 a.m.: Mazy and I joined Aunt Jean and Marla at the Ankeny movie theater for, "Hop." Very cute, funny movie! And it will make you want to go buy lots of Easter candy!
- Saturday early afternoon: We stayed at Doug and Jean's for a couple hours so Mazy and Marla could play on the trampoline and hang out together. We sat on the deck drinking lemonade. It was very nice!
- Saturday late afternoon: Mazy and I went to the "Craft Exchange" store in Polk City to shop for some fabric for Mother's Day gifts. We also bought fabric for his "I-Spy" quilt and some sports-themed beads for him to make bracelets. And then we went to the ice cream shop and had ice cream cones!
- Saturday evening: I was exhausted... While the boys watched a movie, I dozed in the recliner. Bo was on my lap the entire time and used my orange highlighter to give himself warrior markings... (see photo)
- Sunday AM: Made blueberry/banana smoothies for breakfast. Took the boys outside to play. I cleaned out the van and then cleaned out half the garage! Meanwhile, Shawn was inside mopping the floors.
- Sunday afternoon: Boys napped, I read a new book and Shawn went to a consignment sale at the fairgrounds. He found a cute little outfit for Bo and some games for the boys.
- Sunday late afternoon: We took the boys outside to play and decided to rake all the leaves in the front yard and bag them up. The boys were a big help. Then we drove to the East Village Jimmy John's for sandwiches and had a picnic on the picnic table in our yard. While the boys played with their monster trucks, I sanded the picnic table to prepare it for painting this weekend.
- Sunday evening: Bath time for the boys, followed by bedtime stories and then bed. I worked on sewing projects for awhile and then read my book more. And now I'm blogging as the rain and winds howl outside.

Saturday morning project time: Counting Mama's foreign currency from Scandinavia |
|
"Can I spend this money?" (Sidenote: Shawn counted all my leftover money from my trip to Scandinavia in 2001 and determined it's worth about $70!) |

Bobo Braveheart. The orange highlighter looked pretty good on him. So good that we left it on all day Sunday!! He even went into Jimmy John's with it. |

My finished sewing machine cover. Loved this bright fabric and I couldn't resist adding the pink ric rac on the bottom. I'm in love with ric rac. |
|
Tiny little newborn shirt and matching cap. I still need to stitch around the tree and add some embroidery. The shower is in three weeks so I have time. |
|
Another little newborn shirt and matching cap. I love these little bitty clothes! Can't wait to see the babies who will wear them! |
And that's the update for now. Happy Monday to you all!
I love those outfits! So cute. I really have to come up with something fast, especially now that I'll be at Keri's shower. Also love the cover, check out mine.
