Another weekend gone! Ours consisted of a movie and showdogs, starting on the next kitchen project, our baby nephew's 1st birthday party, birthday party celebrations at Grandma's, and coming home to work on the house again! It was a super busy weekend but hugely productive.
We went and saw The Campaign at Carnegie with Brod and Lauren. We always have a great time together! I don't know what was funnier--Cade and Brod's giggles or the movie! They tend to have the same laugh when they get tickled and it's hilarious. The movie was pretty funny, although, they could have left out some of the raunchiness and I felt it would have been just as humorous.
We started on the bench in the kitchen this weekend and got quite a bit accomplished. I am so thankful to have such a handy mother-in-law and husband! They both worked so hard this weekend and I am so grateful. Of course, I will get to lend my handy dandy painting hand when the time arises. Until then, I have been deemed the decorator/bigger decision maker. I get to decide it things will look good or not based on the ideas they give me. I like this job way better than painting. :) So far things are looking much more updated and fun.
Nate's first birthday was a huge success due to him loving his own little cake. I seriously think this was the best part to him knowing how much that kid LOVES to eat. He was a little confused at first what to do with this big red apple sitting in front on him. After the first bite it was over...He went after it full force! He was cheesin' big time and the red icing was everywhere! I'll include some pictures at the bottom. Little did the kid know that he was going to get to do this all over the next day...
We had birthday celebrations at Grandma's today-- Nate and Cade. Hubby's birthday is the 30th and Nate's was the 23rd. It's a tradition at Grandma's that we each get to pick our dessert and we go by months! Sheila, Em, and I are all in October which is just around the corner...we better start thinking of our favorite desserts! Anyways, the hubs chose coconut cream pie which was amazing as always. Let me tell ya, Grandma is an amazing cook! Nate didn't really get a choice, which I don't think he would have chosen different, but he got his own little cake again!...and ate the icing off the entire cake...AGAIN! It was hilarious how much he enjoyed it and the look on his face was priceless!
S/N: on the menu today was-- fried chicken, chicken fried steak, fresh black eyed peas from the garden, grilled asparagus, corn, mashed potatoes, biscuits, gravy, and spinach salad. It was wonderful as always! I am so thankful for times like these and hope to continue this tradition with my own family as the time comes.
My honey is working on the kitchen as we speak putting up barn tin on the lower part of one of the walls in the kitchen. I am so excited at how well this turned out. He did just state that he is ready for this to be done and I know it's wearing him out...Especially today! Gilly jumps a foot every time the nail gun goes off. We both laugh at her but she is seriously scared out of her wits and is so confused at why her food bowl keeps moving to a different place each day...like we are playing some sick joke on her. Obviously, she doesn't like change!
Hope y'all had a great weekend! Boo for dreaded Mondays...
