Random Happenings Last Week

Random happenings and pictures of the last week or so...........

Nathan is always good about taking Deacon to the park behind our house. Here are some recent pics he took during a Rugby game they went to. You can almost see our house to the left of D's head.

Deacon discovered the kitchen utensil drawer, so now he always carries either a whisk or a spatula with him. Better wash it extra good after digging in this giant litter box.





Yay! For Mother's Day I got a new Bosch! Can you tell Nathan had help from his mom on that gift? (thanks mom!) Ü We weren't even home from AZ for 24 hours before Nathan made bread with it. I pretended to be mad for not being the first to use it; but really, I'll never complain about coming home to fresh bread from the oven.

Deacon is getting one of his back teeth, so he was very lethargic on Sunday with a fever. He wasn't cranky at all though and it was nice to have him sit still on my lap for the first hour and a half of church, I don't mind if he teethes every week! You can tell in these pics he is flushed and not very active. Really, I'm sad because he looks so pitiful : (



Last Tuesday, I waited until I got to work to call Nathan and tell him I scraped my car backing out of the garage. The first words out of his mouth were (as I heard him bounding down the stairs and ripping open the front door), "Is my motorcycle okay?" Um...yeah. And your WIFE is okay too...thanks for asking! Ü Here's Deac 'helping' him with the bike.

For youth group that night we had a Marshmallow War. I've never done it before and it was soooo fun! We had tiny PVC pipe cut into foot long strips and we shot mini-marshmallows out of them like poison dart guns. We went into the forest to do it, so it was just like real combat. Those things sting at close range!

On Wednesday Nate and I had dentist appointments. I took Deac outside and he kept going straight for the pothole in the parking lot---full of brown water. When we got home, there was a surprise in the mailbox, a $100 shopping spree to Ross. I don't enter a lot contests, but I was feeling pretty lucky after we won the Red Robin contest, so I entered both our names for this shopping spree last month and Nate won {but guess who really won...hahaha Ü}.

Saturday we had a little date night. Totally romantic, haha. Deacon & I shopped at Ross, while Nathan went to Lowes to buy a small freezer. The lady at Ross that redeemed Nathan's shopping spree said he was the last one to pick it up--but said it made sense since he was the only man that won Ü. What better way to end the post than a pic of me in one of my new outfits? Ü
