Jiggity Jig!!!
Looking back at our calendar I just realized the last Saturday we got to spend at home together was March 17th!!! Wow. No wonder I feel like a new woman! Don't get me wrong, I love trips to the beach, time with family, girls weekends, friends visiting us in Knoxville, baby showers, bridal showers, weddings... it really is such a joyful and full season of life right now. But, oh how I love a weekend at home with my boys:) I've never put weekend in Knoxville on our calendar before, but I'm starting to realize I need to pencil it in every now and then. And, not only did I get to put it on the calendar for last weekend, but for the next two weekends as well! Ahhhh, we could potentially get so much done and definitely enjoy the steamy summertime in our backyard.
Here are some highlights from our first weekend in Knoxville:
- good old fashioned surprise birthday party
- yard sale (i.e. cleaned out my closet and the attic)
- hiking at Ijams Nature Center
- sleeping in (first weekend at home = first time L could entertain Abe for a little bit in the morning)
- Sweet Pea's BBQ!
- blackberry picking
- shopping at Stanley's Greenhouse! (with our proceeds from the yard sale)
- planting, weeding, mulching
- planting my hanging baskets and containers for the front porch, finally!
- catching up on laundry (did I mention our washing machine went kaput)
- bathing Lulu
Here's what's on the list for our next weekend in Knoxville so far:
- take a family trip to Lowe's
- bake a blackberry cobbler
- grill out
- plant, weed, mulch... and repeat
- go hiking in a state park
- purchase and play in a baby pool with little A
- make some mojitos
- go to the movies
