life: winding down

as the weekend comes to a close, i have next weeks 'to do' list forming in my head.

it involves taking the babe in for his 4 month well check (what?!)

working on my cookbook, & starting to tackle my mom's

continuing to type up recipes for a family project

packing up my scrapbooking supplies for a retreat this weekend (SO excited!)

possibly making a prototype necklace for myself

(etsy & craft shows be warned!)

& taking care of the daily stuff.

this weekend has been a bit of a whirlwind.

friday the hubs was off, so we made the best of our one-child time & did the bi-weekly grocery shopping.

then some how a trip to walmart to pick up a sleeping bag for the hubs hunting trip in a few weeks turned into a night of he & mason camping out in the backyard.

it was unplanned & just totally enjoyable honestly.

we roasted hot dogs & marshmallows over a little backyard bonfire.

i gave in & gave up my attempts at pictures because they were virtually impossible without a flash,

& that just seemed to wash-out the rustic & campy feeling the setting had.

it was a trial camping run. mason has never camped out.

(our tent. which we bought 8 years ago. has NEVER been used)

rance & i were warm & cozy sleeping inside. (in case you were curious!)

hopefully when warmer weather comes

& rance has a few more months under his belt we are going to attempt camping for real.

i'm looking forward to little camping adventures :)

i've got some laundry to finish up today

& then we hope to snuggle up as a family

& watch a movie after dinner tonight before we start a new week.



i'll just leave you with these images.

(of poor quality i know, because i was trying to be all stealth-like with my camera phone)

notice anything??......... no?

how 'bout now?!

yes. my 6 year old son climbed into the crib with my 4 month old.

& the smile didn't come until after i told him i wasn't mad, but he needed to get out!

hope you had a wonderful weekend!

xo-k

ps- i'm being called to supervise tent folding. must go where i am needed! :)
