The Last Week Of School

I can’t believe it is here already, this is the boys last week at school. Thade is really excited, but Dylan isn’t ready for kindergarten to be over just yet. We’ll see how Agnes does this Summer with the boys at home all the time.

I’m enjoying the quiet in the house while I have it. I’ll be working on a few crochet projects, and baking a bit too. Friday will be here before I know it, and I had better be ready for some crazy kiddos.

 

Maybe I’ll Finish

I’m thinking this would be a pretty good weekend, for a nice and very lazy weekend. I’ve got two crochet projects that I would love to get finished too.

The stinky dog needs a bath too.

There is always yard work to be done too.

I guess we’ll see what the weekend brings our way.

City-Wide Yard Sale Finds

Well I had my weekend wrong… I thought the city-wide yard sale was the first weekend of May, but it was the second. I had to wait a bit longer, but it was a great weekend to do some yard sale shopping.

We started on Friday after James was home from work. We also went out on Saturday for a few more sales. I came home with way too much, like always.

I found this great little plant for $1 . I need to re-pot it, and separate the little babies too.

I was happy to find a great blanket, and trays for the kids too.

On Saturday, I found so many items…

Lots of cups. Including an adorable Pyrex coffee cup from the 80’s.

I picked up some pretty awesome cases too.

I love this little coffee pot, but I think I will use it for tea.

I also picked up some framed cross-stitch samplers, lots of vintage sheets, more plates, and a utensils holder for the kitchen.

One of my favorite finds was the Pyrex butter dish. It had to come home with me.

The yard sales were so much fun. Agnes had a blast too. It was a great way to spend the weekend.

 

Blooms From The Front Yard

We are still getting the front yard flower beds planted. There are lots of little blooms giving the yard some much needed color though.

I think we might get a few more flowers this weekend, and finish off the project. Hopefully the weather will cooperate too.

Summer Housework Schedule

I can feel the lazy days of Summer creeping up on me…

With these three home all of the time, I had better get a plan together fast.

I’ve made up a little housekeeping schedule to help me stay on track.

  • Monday: Grocery shopping, and errands
  • Tuesday: Dishes and Laundry
  • Wednesday: Cooking/Baking
  • Thursday: Dishes and Laundry
  • Friday: Catch-up Day
  • Saturday: Home Projects, painting and gardening
  • Sunday: Cooking, Baking, making shopping lists, and prepping for the weekly errands

We’ll see if I can keep the house tidy. I am a little bit ahead of the game this Spring. I spent last Friday deep cleaning the boys room. I cleaned out a lot of clutter, and it looks ready for Summer.

Better get back to it, I’ve got laundry to fold…
