Relaxing weekend

Aside from the fact that I had to work on Saturday morning, this weekend was just about perfect! Friday night we had a lazy evening around the house. While I was at work on Saturday, Todd and Nathan went out to lunch with Grandma Nancy. Todd introduced Nancy to the delectable pork sandwich at Martinis, and Nathan provided ample entertainment by smiling and squealing and studying Grandma while she performed the mysterious and fascinating task of eating.

Saturday evening Todd, Nathan and I met up with Joey and Toby at Bell's and enjoyed the sunshine in the beer garden. Gotta love a beer garden on a sunny Saturday afternoon when the ratio of kids to adults is about even! Toby and Joey came back to our house, and we grilled some burgers. Nathan went to bed, the guys had a bonfire in the backyard and I enjoyed a bath and an early bedtime!

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day! I finally made the time to do some gardening (pics will follow in a subsequent post). Todd shampooed the carpet in the living room and hallway, which was a long overdue chore--it looks beautiful now, and it was great that he could open all the windows to help with the drying process. After we were done with our chores for the day, we just relaxed on a quilt in the backyard. Nathan absolutely loves the outdoors! If he's a little fussy or out of sorts, wandering around outside looking at all the plants and feeling the wind and the sunshine lifts his mood immediately.

So relaxed and happy!
