Happy Monday, Folks! We had a whirlwind weekend planned, so I took a break from my part time job, didn’t work on any home projects or even any blog projects. It meant that between all the events we went to, I was able to actually have a nap on both days. Unheard of around here and a nice treat. I even got to curl up with Whiskey in a sunbeam on the end of the bed – so warm and cozy. Frankly I wish I was there right now!
Over the weekend, my little growing project started to sprout. As some of you guessed, I’m growing grass for an Easter project. More on that later this week!
Saturday morning started with a trip to IKEA to pick up some office decor for my friend, Amy. Of course I had to pick up a few things for myself too.
Aside from a new planting pot with a fake plant and a couple packages of spring napkins, I also found these great popsicle molds. I can’t wait to start making some yummy flavour combinations this summer!
Saturday night we headed out to our friends’ house for dinner with them and their sweet little girl. I had made matching aprons for my friend and her daughter, but I didn’t realize what that would lead to….
Apparently aprons in their house are meant for “dragon slaying”. As soon as she opened up the present, she ran over to the kitchen drawer and started pulling out oven mitts (for gloves), a wooden spoon (for a weapon) and a tea towel (for a cape).
Even Garrett got dragged into the fun, although I think his apron looked like more of a loin cloth. I couldn’t help but cracking up when the neighbour caught a glimpse of them in their “capes” through the window and looked very confused.
After all that dragon slaying (and colouring and stickers and storybooks and tag and dancing and playing farm), we were both wiped out. We had lots of fun playing with a little one, but man do they make you feel out of shape! I think we’ll need to increase our cardio before we have a little one of our own someday.
Sunday’s events reminded us of how much all our friends have grown up, as we went to an engagement lunch for two of my favourite people. It was lovely to catch up with some of my friends and meet some new ones too.
I’m not usually a big fan of roses, but I have to admit they looked gorgeous mixed in with all the smaller delicate flowers.
Whiskey’s weekend consisted of plenty of squirrel and bird watching out the window. With spring here now, there is plenty of action going on outside and he doesn’t want to miss any of it.
There is no way someone is walking by our place without him knowing they’re there. I’m just glad he hasn’t taken to barking at them like some of the dogs do downstairs!
We’ve got a busy week lined up, but I’m hoping to get a couple of Easter projects done to share soon with you guys soon. I’m in a spring cleaning and decorating mood!
