A nice long weekend.

While lying in my bed i was thinking about all that i have been forgetting to post lately.... so enjoy the randomness..... I am in full out, lets finish this "decorating the inside of the house thing"... my wardrobe is starting to look tired, on a budget or not it needs a little bit of sprucing....

 Well this weekend we will be doing a little of this, cant wait to take my ice cream maker out of the box and use the old family recipe!!
I will also be doing lots of this, (found this photo on google, and adore this fabric)


And a tiny bit of this, just painting below the chair rail in the dining room....
I wish i was lying when i tell you our back yard truly doesn't look like this but the fact of the matter is, well, it does, buying a foreclosed home means you buy a very very unkempt backyard, needing lots of weed and vine killer and even more love. Yesterday we headed out in the yard by 8 am. All ready to get to work, within the hour Casey had been stung by a bee on his finger and we had only removed one small portion of the kudzu from in between the pretty bushes it had over grown... Our front yard is starting to look good, but the backyard, totally different story..... Can't wait to share the before's and after's but with our slow progress back there it may be a while before i have anything exciting to show you.
And this afternoon and tomorrow we will be at the rents, relaxing by the pool. Can't wait for lunch with some dear friends, then we will all hopefully pile up and head on over to relax...
Here I am with my sister by the pool, disregard the fact she looks to be of a different race, she spent the past few weeks in Destin, and yes i look beyond pale, i mean its fine i am out in the sun at least right??

Okay wonderfully awesome people, gotta go shower for church, do some more cleaning and get breakfast started before hubby and baby awake... Hope you all enjoy your time off, say a prayer for our courageous soldiers who proudly defend us while we comfortably relax at home. They have given us the freedom we take way to much for granted!!
