Weekend Wrap-Up!

This weekend was full of fun activities, even with the rainy couple of days here. Fall has arrived and you can see it everywhere; the trees are starting to change colors and leaves are already falling. Agh. Fall is my favorite season, and I am so thankful for the cooler temperatures!

Our Saturday started out at home. We had plans to spread grass seed and do some other yard work, but were unable to with the rain. We decided to head to Fort Wayne and get our shopping trip done in the morning. We also stopped at Logan’s Roadhouse for lunch and it was SO.GOOD! It had been a long time since I had a steak, and we actually split an 8oz. so it was the perfect amount! After feeding our bellies we were onward to Dollar Tree, Hobby Lobby, Kirklands, Menards, Gordon Food Service, Bed Bath & Beyond, Bath & Body Works and Country Kitchen. We got some great deals and everything we needed, too!

We came home and changed into comfy clothes to just relax. Is it just me or do other people like rainy days for PJs and relaxing too? I ended up working on a Fall Wreath that was inspired from Pinterest last week. Surprisingly to me, this project did not take long at all. In fact, it only took the length of two Friend episodes!  

After some crafting it was time to bake. We made these pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies that were also inspired from Pinterest (are you noticing a trend here?). They are quite yummy and I have plans to post the recipe tomorrow for you all to enjoy!

Sunday after church we got to have lunch with this adorable little girl:  

We met Stephen’s family for a yummy lunch at The Boathouse to celebrate September birthdays. Yesterday was actually my Mother-in-Law’s birthday; Happy Birthday Bev! My SIL Robin was going to come too because her birthday was last Friday, but she was not feeling good and did not make it. We missed you, Robin!   

Looks like Hadley and her Dad, Adam were having a very serious talk! J

We came home and tried to take some family pictures with Louie, but he wanted none of it. He was quite a little stinker this weekend, actually. We did get a family picture minus Louie and then some individual pictures of our little man, so I am going to call it a success!  

What else did we do on Sunday? Well, Stephen worked a little on his hunny-do list while I crafted. We got some pictures that we bought at Kirklands hung, and hooks put up in our coat closet finally. Now all our coats are hanging instead of being crammed into black garbage bags like they have been since our move. I am hoping that the wrinkles fall out before we need to wear them. I can dream, right?

Our new picture in the bathroom that I love:

   

Now I have my claw foot tub AND my chandelier that I have always wanted!

I put together a little dry-erase board inspired from Pinterest again. All it took was an old picture frame and some scrapbook paper. I added some letter stickers and a little heart sticker too to dress it up. We hung it in our kitchen above the hooks for coats, purses and umbrellas. We plan on using it for reminder notes…or maybe just love notes since we don’t get to see each other much in the mornings. I am very pleased with how it looks! (Note: the feather boas are usually not there, they were a purchase made this weekend at Hobby Lobby and they will be used on my niece’s birthday cup-cake display!)    

Lastly I worked on another Pinterest project. I had seen (and pinned) a unique and creative headboard made from an outdoor seatee cushion, some buttons, string, and a shelf. I took this picture immediately after Stephen hung it, so it is not final but I was just so excited and wanted to share it! I think it is such a neat idea for a fun headboard! What do you think?  

Well folks, that is our weekend rolled up into one long post! I hope that you enjoyed the pictures and ideas shared. Let me know if you try any of the craft projects and just let me know if you have any questions!

Happy Monday!
