I <3 Weekends!

It feels nice to get a project or two done and have fun in between.
We spent our Friday evening having simple family fun. We had a few errands to run and that we did. Chili's was a yummy dinner...mmm followed by ice cream at our favorite ice cream shop. It will be closing soon so we have to enjoy it now.
Since we had to go to Wal-Mart to make a return, we stopped to check on this year's HOT HOT HOT toy...we nearly gasped because they had them (only a few). We bought them--of course.
Saturday morning started bright and early with fog and a bit of a chill for some garage sales. Well, this week's sales were less than stellar, however we can't complain after all of the great things we have found week after week!
We headed home took a bit of a nap since we got up SO early. Since it was on the rainy side most of the day, I made the suggestion that we work on the basement. We purchased some floor epoxy several months ago. With our other projects and wanting to enjoy being outside, we purposely put off the basement floor project for a day like Saturday. It felt great to clean it up and get it half-way finished. We have to move things from one end to the other and do half at a time. It made us realize that we really need to purge some kids toys!
After that, I went to my neighbor's very-fun birthday party. Yummy banana splits for dessert followed by plenty of games made the night enjoyable! A twist on the gifts...the birthday girl used the gifts as door prizes. I enjoyed my gift which was a fun necklace, a raspberry and dark chocolate Ghiradelli bar, a slim credit-card case, in a cute re-usable bag.
Today was a lovely and beautiful day. We went to church. The girls had fun outfits with little hats. Not matching exactly, but pretty close. Lunch was a wonderful as it was pot roast and all of the yummy sides. MMMMM--we were all happily stuffed.
After a little nap for me and some football-watching for Josh, we took a nice afternoon walk. What a GORGEOUS fall day. The basement was ready to be finished and that's just what we did! There was just enough paint left for me to get the front steps and side steps. The evening wrapped up with Papa John's pizza, some cleaning/straightening and watching the season premiere of the Amazing Race.
Of course, there are things to do this week like laundry and cleaning, but that's okay. We had a wonderFULLy fun and great weekend. I love my 3 luv-doves!
