Our Weekend...

...was very productive and very relaxing!!!

Friday night Vance's Day Care had a Family Picnic ;). I can't tell you what it means to a working, first-time mother to have a loving, safe place for Vance to stay during the day. His teachers are absolutely fabulous and Vance just adores them ;). The picnic was at a local park. There was tons of food and tons of kiddos running around ;)!


A little action shot of Vance playing with two footballs! It was so cute watching the excitement on his face when he was playing with them ;).

Saturday morning we ran a few errands and made a trip to The Avenue to get Vance a few fall things. We have Carter's, Osh Gosh, Gymboree, and The Children's Place all in the same place in the same row. It is a mother's paradise ;)!!! The weather was so beautiful and Vance was in the best mood.


Vance riding on my shoulders! This is something I have always looked forward to ;)! He was loving on me in this picture!!!

Saturday night I went to Bunko! Meag and La were not there but we still had a good time...not the same though ;). Can you believe I got three bunkos and did not win one thing? Something neat did happen though...

I walk in the house and I see...


This is the adorable paining the wonderful and talented KIM WHEELER was working on! I had no idea Ashley was having it painted for her ;). If you have not visited her blog, you MUST! She is on my blogroll and she does AMAZING paintings!!!!

Sunday was relaxing personified for Vance and I! My sweet hubby worked all day on our house at the farm ;). I am so lucky/blessed that I married a handyman!!! While he was there he took a picture of something I have not had since we have been married.


I am not sure if you can tell or not but this is our fireplace ;)!!! I can't wait to sit by this and warm my toes while watching White Christmas and playing with Vance!

I'm very envious of your fireplace!!! I would use it everynight in the winter!!! HA! I went to Bath & Body Works the other day & they sell a candle that smells like wood burning!!!! I might have to get it for our house this winter since we don't have a fireplace!!!

I "steal" all my activities for Eli from the "No Time for Flashcards" blog. I have her linked on mine towards the bottom. She used to be a daycare director & now has a little one that is a toddler! She also includes fun books to read that sometimes relate to the activity. I don't always have the time to do an activity everyday, but I like to do one or two a week, so Eli can show off his work to his daddy!!!

YAY! The fireplace looks great! I forsee some grand times in front of that fireplace and hope to be sitting in front of it THIS holiday season for our Country Christmas Hoedown (sp?)! YAY!

I miss you and I can't wait to do toes Thursday!!!!

Wow. I don't know that I have ever heard of a daycare doing a family picnic. That says A LOT for the kind of people Vance is staying with during the day. That is just awesome!

Yeah for the fire place. Would you believe we have lived here for three years and have yet to burn a fire. Evan bounces off the walls sometimes and I'm too scared that he might bound into the fire. It has the protective glass in front of it but I'm still scared. Now that he is older, we might just have to try it this year.

I love seeing pictures of your house. It is going to be SO nice!

Three bunkos and no prize! Not fair!

I love seeing your house updates!

So funny that that painting was for someone you know!!! It's so cute!
I'm having her paint a name canvas for Harper's nursery - I can't wait to see what she does!
Vance is so cute!

I cracked up when I saw that painting Kim did. She showed it to me several weeks ago, and I loved it!
