Wednesday Loves: Holiday Weekend Recap

link up here

This Wednesday, I'm loving this past weekend:

*****Hear Ye! Hear Ye!*****

Let it be known that I FINALLY got a new memory card for my camera!

What does that mean?

LOTS OF PHOTOS!

I wanted to show you how we spent the 4th of July in my household....

Jerk Face and his dad spent the entire day working in our yard... Thanks J!!!

*Notice the trimmed bushes!*

(Thanks again J!)

...And since I took the photo on Tuesday, after the Student Painter's left,

(YES! They came back!)

 you get a sneak peek at how the painting's going.... I will try to have an update on that soon!

And just because we are the patriotic types, I made these:

(I saw that my friend Stephanie made them as well, and she put the recipe on her blog... If you want to know:

here's the link

I played life guard for this lovely lady:

Here she is, enjoying a turtle.

This is LB enjoying a crab....

yes... that's her, eating the pool... no good, dear, no good!

My camera died after this... BOO!

But LB had her very first taste of ice cream!

..and she loved it

(Jerk Face and I also did some shopping, and I got a lot of stuff ready for LB's 1st birthday party in T minus 10 days!!! YIKES!)

***Also! I didn't forget about my giveaway!!! I'll probably do it after LB's party!!!***

The Rapture Eluded

Well....
I don't know about you, but my family survived the rapture....
It was a close call, but we came out unscathed.

Around 3 o'clock, my husband was on a business call (I know! The world's ending, but he's working! That's dedication, my friends.) and was talking to some Malaysia folk.. and it was after 6 there... so, we had a pretty good idea what the outcome would be.....

Unfortunately, I put off doing some laundry and other housework in preparation for the event... *scowl* Now I have to catch back up.

I feel a little guilty that I allowed LB and Mojo to get wasted on our supposed Last Day.  I mean, we had a good time, but I can't allow that to happen again! At least not until December 21, 2012... 

Ugh. So, today, while LB and Mojo are fighting hangovers, Jerk Face and I are trying to tackle some yard work. Redefining plant beds... ripping out more trees... trimming the neighbors ginormous pine tree that is always creeping into our yard..  Maybe we'll mulch next weekend?

What did you put off doing because of the rapture?

Saturday Morning with LB

Man! I can't believe it's already Saturday!
Time for my Saturday Morning Link up!

I caught LB playing her keyboard very seriously...

Maybe we should change her name to Beethoven!

*P.S. I say it 'BEETH oven' like in Bill & Ted!

..anything to bother Jerk Face!  :)

all of my mispronounced words will be a future post ;)

Eep! I've been spotted!

What kind of face is this??!

There's a smile!  :)

She's waving to all of you!  :)

*side note, we had to put the laundry basket in front of the keyboard, because she has started to pull herself up on it, and when it goes forward... so does she..!

What's Jerk Face up to, you ask?

Some yard work  :)  YAY!

WAIT!!! 

Are you digging up my flowers?!?

....

..

OY!

It looks like they can be saved... I hope!

Omigoodness! I better go supervise! 

Hahaha!

What does Your Saturday look like?
