Weddings, swing sets, finishing, and sales!!!

We've had a busy weekend that started on Friday. We started the day by cleaning the garage, moving things around so we could find things that were lost, and so the boxes needing to be unpacked were close the to kitchen door.


SIL was married to new BIL from Australia Friday afternoon. It was a lovely little family ceremony then a bigger reception in the evening. Long story short, they were either to get married by Fri or he was out of the country for an unknown amount of time. So they shotgunned, we had a party, and everyone is on their way to legal!

Grandpa and the boys...

The cake, before it completely melted (ice cream cakes)...
Getting worried about future college years,

the boy chugged it down!

Yes, it was only sparkling cider...

"What? Mom said it was cool!"

Sat and Sun we spent working around the house, cleaning up the side yard, making a dump run, and pawning more stuff off on the newlyweds.

The boys are happy to have their swing set back...

Shelves above my desk are up and ready

Office closet shelves are done...

Coat/bag check in the entry...
Kitchen cabinets complete....
Flag pole is up and set on back-to-school...
Even the duck got a bath and a new outfit.
And just because he wanted to see himself on the camera....
That was our weekend, in a nutshell. I was even able to squeak out a little time to hit up Michael's for their lame coupon sale! Hopefully we'll survive the week of errands, going to the fair, doctor check-ups, and starting back to school things. YIKES! Here we go!
