A wonderful weekend...

The past weekend was absolutely wonderful around here.
No complaints at all.

The windows were open the whole time.  Love that!

I enjoyed the last of the peonies.
It was so great that they finally bloomed this year.

On my birthday Saturday I got to spend the entire day with little Connor.
I didn't need anything else for presents.  He was enough.

I finally finished off some of my jeans so I could enjoy some summery apparel.
Totally loving them!
Even the part about them being loose from my on and off exercising.
Must get back to that this week.
 Then there was the crazy goofiness by a little one who decided that her moose rug would be a great hat.
We weren't sure if a meeting was going to be called together by the Grand Poobah of our in house Moose Lodge.
You never know around here.
Now it's back to normal (if you can call the goings on around here normal) so that we can get ready for a visit from Mom.  Seriously can't wait for the end of the week till she gets here.  We all have ants in our pants over it.

Note to self, start straightening up the house a wee bit so Mom won't have anything to do except relax and veg out.
