Weekend Highlights

Most weekends fly by for us around here, but this past one was definitely an exception. It was long...and slow...and at times a little painful. As much as I was looking forward to having 3 days off, D is once again out for the week, leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves. I hate sounding like a whiner and dependant on having the hubs around all the time, but weekends are just more fun when we are together. Plus entertaining an almost 14 month old and two rambunctious yellow labs gets a little overwhelming at times. So we got creative....

On Friday (which was also Veteran's Day and D's Birthday), we took a trip out to the store and stocked up on some art supplies! I wasn't sure how it would go over, but a box of chubby crayons and a pad of construction paper later, I discovered we have an artist! Here is a Grace M. original. As always, excuse the dark iPhone shot:

Guess what everyone and their mom is getting for Christmas?! (Haha...) We have a little sweatshop set up and G is getting down to business. ;)

On Saturday we met up with one of my GF's and her puppy and went to Hodges Gardens for the afternoon. There was a cute little Art Festival and we got our walk on while taking in the pretty scenery. We will be making a trip back this coming weekend with daddy and our puppies in tow. Here are a couple pictures from the day. Ignore my hiking gear and obvious need for a haircut/color. Gross. Luckily Grace provides a pretty cute distraction.

The rest of the weekend came in the form of lazy mornings with our pal Mickey and his Clubhouse, lunch outings and grocery shopping, and even some wagon construction- more on this later. D should be back home with us in a few days and light at the end of the tunnel? This is officially his last rotation before we move!!

Hope everyone's week is off to a great start. Check back later for a video post!
