I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! My family hardly spent anytime in the house. We spent our days in the gardens and waterslides and the nights by campfires making s’mores! I leave tomorrow to go back to Wilton in Chicago and visit the tent sale with all my Wilton ladies so this week will be a little slower since I haven’t had much prep time.Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend with their family!

Monday
As you know I have several gardens around the yard, what I haven’t told you is that Johnny has his own garden that he is completely responsible for. He does a great job in the beginning but usually stops weeding it and taking care of it and it starts dying. This year I’m determined to keep him on it.

Tuesday
We had some review items show up and the boys started playing with them immediately. They loved giving themselves big heads with this one.

Wednesday
It was cooler out again so we grabbed some paint and some flower pots and got busy. The boys will be growing their own sun flowers (kid size) in these.

Thursday
As you know this is a day to get stuff done for me since I don’t have the boys. Hubby helped me set up and I got started on my first DIY. Bet you can’t guess what I’m doing!

Friday
We kicked off the holiday weekend with lit tiki torches and a campfire. We made s’mores making it our official start of summer! We also did this every single night of the weekend.

Saturday
It was so nice and hot this weekend the kids never wore actual clothes and lived in their suits. We broke out the pool and slip’n'slide!

Sunday
Hubby finally had a chance to start cleaning the boat to get it ready for the river!

Monday
We played with our waterslide bounce house this past weekend too!

How was your week?

Since I last posted all it’s done is RAIN. It rained cats & dogs. Heck it was raining men.. I can’t remember the last time it rained so much for so long. It was over a week we were locked indoors and held inside. This also makes for some really restless kids as they can’t go out at school either!

Monday
The rain put the baseball field into swimming pool status and all games were canceled. The boys insisted they still play ball so we turned to the wii!

Tuesday
Still raining and out of boredom I scrubbed the fridge. Every piece, nook, cranny. It looks brand new again. It’s like Mtv Cribs. Like my food selection? Time to go shopping now.

Wednesday
More Rain. I went out today and got my new cube table and these baskets. This is my foyer. Behind me is my front door and there are stairs to my right and hallways on both sides where you see the wall edges. As you can see on the wall we never even finished painting this area. I’m going to paint it a dark share of green. I’m really excited to decorate this area.

Thursday
Still raining. These came in the mail today. A company I had a credit with sent them. I didn’t know what to get so I just got a bunch of batteries. It was weird to see them packaged like this. Never saw that before.

Friday
The sun peeked out a little throughout the day, but it still rained. I had to run out and get some flowers and strawberries when I had the chance! You can see here even when it stopped it wasn’t for long. The deck and the pavement here are still wet!

Saturday
My best friend is getting married soon and her wedding shower was today. Here she is with her sister. Her shower was great and she made out great! Yay!

Sunday
Finally! The rain stopped! This gave us a chance to finally get our gardens all ready! We even had a chance to plant some of our veggies so they can start growing in the ground. We have three gardens total but one is all Johnny’s and we don’t help him with it. We also have a few projects we’re working on right now. I’ll be sharing more on this later

How was your week?
