This weekend felt like a long weekend, which is always nice...
Bennett and I hung out on the hammock:
Bennett went to the Children's museum with his friends Lucy and Pearl.
He especially loved playing the bucket drums:
(his name Bennett Tabor means "blessed drummer"...how cool would it be if he actually became a drummer?!)
He also did some shopping in their little market:
(Chris didn't approve of his coffee choice)
He played with the giant lite brite:
(he had crazy hair all day, but I didn't bother to fix it for some reason)
Thursday for date night Chris and I went to the Cornelius Pass McMenamins.
They have tons of outdoor seating that is pretty much in a forest lit up with strands of lights.
I could spend so much time out there:
Friday night we walked up to the park to swing before bed and some nice old ladies invited us into the community garden and let Bennett pick a bunch of their fruits and veggies:
(Proud of his onions. The little stinker always closes his eyes on purpose when I ask him to smile for a picture.)
His bounty:
Saturday morning snuggles while Chris was on a run:
Chris' awesome brother (who helped build the nursery) came to help install windows in/put up the new door.
(we finally got rid of the original door which was a hollow-core without a deadbolt...yes this house pretty much had an interior door for the front door for 60 years...that's safe right?)
How awesome do these windows look from Crestview Doors?!:
Bennett went with my mom to her company picnic and came back with Cookie Monster and Elmo painted on his face:
Sunday morning we made zucchini bread pancakes:
And Chris' dad came over to help cut down the fallen apple tree limb:
And also helped redo some of the siding:
We finally got our front light fixture:
(The house isn't painted yet, I was just holding the light up against the swatch we painted to get the full effect. Me likey.)
(Imagine this with a red door next to it...pretty sweet huh?)
And that was our weekend.
Happy Wednesday Friends!
My gosh, I'm just dying over that picture of Bennett in the hammock!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your house once it's painted!
I want to meet old ladies who give me food. Also, your door is so cool.
