Scenes From The Weekend


Goooood Monday Morning To You!

Hope ya'll had a delightful weekend!

I had a splendid one myself.
Although, it started with this little munchkin having a tummy ache


and ended with this sweet knucklehead feeling under the weather.

I enjoyed all the extra cuddle time my girls needed this weekend.
I didn't get as much done, but I was totally ok with it.
I'm learning to cherish every moment.
Even the snot rubbed on my shoulder ones.


We made some fun progress with the kitchen.
My handy hubbie has all the counter tops built

 now "we" just need to apply the finish, install and add a few little finishing touches.

Since all the dusty part is finished (alleluia!)
 I was able to start moving back in.
I am so thankful for this fresh start in my kitchen.
There are no crumbs in any of my drawers.
No flour piles in the corners of the cabinets.
The expired food is gone.
It feels so . . . new!
"We" should be able to put the cabinet doors back on this week.

I even made a little space pretty.

 Hello happy color!
The kitchen is coming along quite nicely.
We still have quite a bit to go,
but I truly am enjoying the process.
I have an amazing carpenter.
 


I had some fun play time too.
Saturday morning I had breakfast with my friend Jen, then we headed to a vintage market.
SPEAKING of Jen . . .
She just started a sweet business making the most beautiful jewelery.
You should go check out her Facebook page.
I bought 3 necklaces.
I reeeeally like them.
Jen ahem cough -start a blog-cough cough 
She is hilarious. 
And she gets me.
I dig her.

We both scored some pretty sweet goodies.

 This is my little pile.

On my way home from the market
I decided to squeeze in a little more junking.

Hello. My name is Amy and I may have a junking addiction.

I was following up on a Craig's list inquiry and it turned into the sweetest afternoon.
Oh, how I want to tell you the whole sweet story, but I'll try to give you the short version.
Since I don't like to go to strange people's houses by myself, my AMAZING husband met up with me.
I was looking at an old Singer sewing machine and ended up with a few other things too.
After speaking with the gentleman for quite a while,
we figured out that he goes to our church and that we had been praying for him and his wife for years.
His wife battled with cancer for 3 years and our church prayed for them weekly.
His wife past away last year and I remember feeling so sad, even though I had never met them in person.
It was incredibly touching to meet the man in person and listen to him tell stories about his beloved wife.
His love for her is beautiful.
 It was such a sweet afternoon.
And there is so much more to the story, but we'll leave it at that.

So as we were loading up my purchases, my WONDERFUL husband spotted THE kitchen light.
The light that I had just showed him on Pinterest the day before.
There it was dangeling in this shop.
So my stud husband asked about it and we got it
FOR FREE!!!
When ever I look at this light it makes me smile.
Not only because it was exactly what I wanted,
but because of the story that goes with it.
 
Hello happy light!


The rest of the weekend was filled with sweet little moments.
We got a bit of fresh snow.

 And Josh has the funnest way to plow.


These 2 lovely ladies

had a date to the symphony.



It really was a splendid weekend.

Hope you have a great start to your week!
