a NOT so lazy weekend...

This weekend went by incredibly fast! I don't even know if I sat down except to eat and sleep. I had so many plans, and I never make a list... which drives Justin absolutely crazy, but this weekend I made a list. We didn't get it completed by far, but we got some things accomplished. It felt so good to get things done and marked off the list. So, here it is (feel free to think that I am absolutely CRAZY for thinking we could get it all done this weekend):




- cut the grass
- get new fan for living room and install it
- finish Grace and Jacob's bathroom
- go through Grace's clothes to sell on EBAY
- get some things ready for Craigslist (love this site!!!)
- get caught up on laundry, yes I am a HUGE slacker here, it's on of my many faults
- purchase paint for walls in house
- paint trim in house (ok, ok, just start it)
- finish our new path from driveway to front door with rocks
- go to Home Depot to purchase paint, rocks, fan, etc.




These are all things I wanted to get done on Satruday and Sunday after church. We got quite a bit done, considering Justin's ~OH SO HECTIC~ schedule. And on top of all of that, Grace had a little bug Thursday/Thursday night, causing her to have a fever of 104 degres, poor baby!

Friday, Justin was able to take off from work, so we took Grace to the Fort Bend County Parade and Fair, where we met Whitney, Ryan, and their sweet little girl Rylie.


Grace had her first pony ride (accompanied by Daddy). She just laughed, smiled, and waved at everyone, the entire ride.


Here are a few (out of the 100+) pictures that I took... Enjoy!

Today was the 'yard work' day... Meaning Grace and I played while watching Daddy do the 'yard work'. He is such a hard worker. I am forever gratful for him. Here are some shots from today:

OH!! One last thing - ok, 2... Grace is in desperate need of a 1st haircut. Can someone please let me know of a great place to take kiddos for haircuts? I would SO appreciate it!!!!!


Also, FALL is here!! Grace (me too!!) needs some Fall/warmer clothes and I am on the search for some boots for her as well. So... if anyone is going shopping anytime soon, please oh please let us know, we would love to go!!




Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!!!




P.S. Has anyone been enjoying the cooler weather as much as we have?!?! Loving it! Grace and I spent a cool morning at Target, and this is what Grace found...



{if they weren't 52 sizes too big, i would have bought them!!!}
