This weekend I …

  • got a lot of sewing done … as I said here, I finished the blocks for T#4’s big girl quilt.  I’m now putting the blocks together into 7 rows of 6 blocks and have 3 of the rows sewn; when I have all 7 rows finished, I’ll sew the rows together to create the top. 
  • played hooky from church … DH was feeling too puny to go, and I chose to stay home and pamper him.  I fixed him waffles for breakfast as a treat.

  • got some yardwork done … I spread some mulch in the landscaping (I need another 6+ bags to finish the job).  Because the yard needs to be mowed and because DH is still feeling mighty puny, I offered to mow for him.  Mind you now, I’ve mowed this yard plenty of times in summers past.  But I must have let myself get waaaaay out of shape over the winter because I called it quits after mowing just the front.  Whew!  I’d been contemplating getting back to working out at the gym … and this has confirmed that I need to get myself back into shape!

  • got some T-time … the two littlest Ts spent the afternoon with Nana and Papa.  T#3 is still such a hoot, and T#4 is not such a baby any more.
What did you do this weekend?

  1. Waffles-yum! I love them. I feel sluggish too...the winter was too long and nasty. I'm ready to get outside and walk/hike. That is my preferred form of exercise. I don't enjoy the gym.

  2. Read your previous post too and sounds like you had a productive week-end. I am impressed with the mowing. Don't think I could do ANY of it let alone just the front, haha...time with grands is always the best! Have a good day and hope your hubby is feeling better.

  3. Oh heaven's ~ there is no way I would even entertain the thought of mowing the grass! The last time I did, I got stuck on the sidewalk (I was on a riding mower) and the blade was hitting the cement - sparks and chucks of cement were flying everywhere and I could think of what to do!! It was a mess and I learned my lesson.

  5. Well you did have a great weekend! I really don't ever offer to mow because I really don't like it. I let hubby do that! He doesn't like it either but he does it. Right now we still have brown ground so no grass to mow yet. Hubby is happy about that.

  6. That was sweet of you to make waffles for your hubby! I hope he is feeling a bit better by now!! I like mowing if I have the time to do it (kind of like shoveling snow too if I have the time). Glad you got to see and spend time with the grands too this past weekend! I think other than hubby not feeling too good, all in all it was a good weekend for you!

I am SO glad you stopped by! No proving that you're a robot here ... I want to hear what you have to say! ;-)
