We are winding down a positively glorious weekend in the South. One where the shorts came out, the windows went up and as much time as possible was spent outside. We roasted marshmallows in the evenings.
We enjoyed breakfast (and lunches and suppers) on the porch.
We spent a lazy Saturday afternoon at the playground and park.
We cheered for the PCP at his basketball game.
We had a super fun pizza night with the L family. Bestie M wooed the baby when she let him hammer the Oreo’s for their pudding “mud” dessert. He’s still talking about it…
We did plenty of lounging (at least the doors to the porch were open). And I attended a meeting for the PCP’s first Reconciliation later this year and Communion next Spring (seems like his Baptism was just yesterday.)
We cheered the Falcons on to a win in the last few minutes of the game!
And now half of the family is napping while this quick and delish Southwestern Chili simmers on the stove.
I could really, really get used to weekends like this! xoxo
Let There Be Light
Our little project for the weekend was cleaning up the original light post we “found” at the corner of our property. I kid you not when I say that we “found” it. It was almost entirely eaten up by massive, overgrown and total heinous shrubs (see bottom right of following picture) until Honey spent two… Read More
Traveling T.J.
The PCP completed his first school project (outside of Science Fair which was optional) of the year a few months back (but it just came back home this week which reminded me about it)! Similar to Flat Stanley (have y’all heard of that guy?) the PCP’s class spent their Thanksgiving break carting the likeness of… Read More
I Love {Mary Pratt}
I’m back today with another of my favorite local artists – Mary Pratt of Pink Chair Studio. Mary is mother to my dear friend Anna, grandma to two of the most darling little girls you could ever hope to know AND a stunning artist. I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to know her over… Read More
“Yes!” Day
We wrapped up a long and luxurious (in the pj wearing, game playing, tv watching kinda way) Christmas break this week with “YES!” day. You know… the kind of day where I say “Yes!” to all of their requests. Can we have biscuits and jelly for breakfast? Can we have two oreos EACH for breakfast… Read More
Happy Birthday Mother!
Happy birthday to a Mother like no other. She’s beautiful, smart, talented, loving, fun, patient, giving and an inspiration to me every single day. Two of your grands also wanted to convey their birthday wishes in their very own energetic and somewhat strange way… We love you!! And I’d be remiss if I didn’t give… Read More
I Love {House Portraits}
Since the boys both celebrate birthdays within a month of Christmas, each year on their birthday we give them one, nice item that we hope they will have forever. This year’s gift is rather tardy, however I’ll be the first to admit that it’s not like they’ve been chomping at the bit to get their… Read More
