Our weekend was very un-scheduled...just like I like it. Okay, let's be real, I like it scheduled too but it's nice to have nothing planned every once in a while, as well.
We stayed home as we have a very busy next few months of travel. Friday night was like most week nights around here. We came home from work and played with B for a while before our normal bed time routine begins. The kiddo got in bed just a bit early about 6:45 which meant a relaxing night for me. I played Pottermore. (anyone else join yet? It's super fun! Joe is calling me a gamer now and thinks I'm a nerd. Whatevs. To note: I'm in Hufflepuff and awful at Potions.) I think Joe and I were both in bed before 9pm. My how time has changed.
Saturday was our free-for-all day which seems to always happen when we are home on the weekends. Barrett woke us up at his normal 6:45 so we all played in bed for a while. I've probably said this before but he is the funnest.thing.ever. in the mornings. Weekends are even better because we can relax rather than hurry out the door. He went down for an early nap just after 8 so Joe and I kicked it into high gear and cleaned like mad. Joe put weed & feed on the yard, I scrubbed floors, Joe vacuumed, I cleaned bathrooms. The little man took two more naps so we were able to tackle a bunch more staining as well as removing all the mulch in the front bed.
Start to finish
We have quite a bit more work to do here before we call it done. Mainly removing those weird bigger bushes towards the back and a few of the little ones that are not placed where I like....namely that cluster in the left middle of the picture. I need symmetry. Joe is also going to put in a tiling system and a drain in the middle to help irrigation. He'll dig in a pit to flow towards the edge of our property. We're also going to add rock instead of mulch. That will probably be it for a while. This is also not happening until the deck is finished but the city pickup for yard waste ends on Friday so we had to get this up if we wanted the city to dispose of it. Nothing like starting another project before the first is complete, right?!
That night, Joe and I watched J. Edgar on Demand. Actually, I watched while Joe fell asleep on the couch but I thought it was a really great movie.
Today, has been pretty lazy as a result of our busy day yesterday. The kiddo slept in until past 7:00 which was nice but both Joe and I are still dragging for some reason. I did manage some time off when I went to the 10am show of Hunger Games. I've been wanting to see it since premiere but never found the time so I put Joe on B duty and went to the early show. I think there were 4 other people in the theater with me. :) I really loved the movie though. Not as much as the book, of course, but they did a great job. Barrett is currently on this third nap of the day. He's been doing this three nap thing for about a week. They are usually an hour and 15 minutes long.

2:35-nap
It's 4:00 now, so we'll see how much longer he sleeps. It looks to be another lazy evening still. Maybe we'll get in a walk before dinner but it's pretty windy. Not too shabby a weekend though!
These pictures have nothing to do with this post but I took them weeks ago and thought this boring update could use some smiles.
