I'm late on this post. It's been three weekends ago that I experienced one of those weekends I have been dreaming of. No, Andrew did not fly me off to Paris, or even to the beach for the weekend. I did not get to sleep in till 9 or even 8. I didn't even get to spend a quiet relaxing weekend at a spa. So what dream was fulfilled? Andrew had to work the weekend and his mom volunteered to take Ty for 4 days. That's right I had FOUR days with one child. The child that sleeps 11 hours straight at night and a total of 3-4 hours during the day.
Is it sad that this is a dream of mine? Probably, but I was able to get an amazing 8 hours of sleep each night for 3 nights straight and still have 6-7 hours of ME time. I am proud to say that I DID NOT pick up a broom, mop, or sponge the whole weekend. I spent the weekend working on projects for the house.
I starting working on these for the dinning room. They didn't get finished till midnight the night before Nolan's party but they are done!
I also finally got pictures hung. This is the family gallery in the living room.
I got two selves painted and hung.
I painted these monogramed canvases for the boy's room
I found this at a yard sale about a month ago. You can't tell by the pic but it is actually 4 feet in diameter. I gave it a few coats of black paint and we finally got it hung in the dinning room.
I also made this wreath (thank you Ashley for the inspiration). I had been wanting something pretty for the front door. Now I just need a nice front door to go with the wreath.
And...... This is what Nolan spent his weekend doing.

LOVE the wreath. Okay, now that I've seen yours and Ashley's, I'm gonna have to try it. Your other projects were good too. Will your mother-in-law come take one of my boys for four days?? :-)

Hey Shannon! I saw you pictures. They are so adorable! Hunter turns one June 19th. I can't believe it, either! Its so funny how they grow so quick. Yesterday was the 1 year mark for Dad's passing. It was a hard day, but we got through it. I can remember how pregnant I was & I remember Andrew bringing Ty in my Mom's bedroom that day b/c he was still asleep, LOL. It flown by so fast. It really didn't seem that long ago. Hey...we're makin progress & we're doin alright. Good to see pictures of the boys, they are precious! Love you, tell Andrew I said I miss seeing him! Take Care!
