Happy Monday, friends! Why does it always feel like the weekends just fly by? I don't know if we will ever understand it, but they certainly do just fly by! We had a busy weekend full of shopping, gardening, playing with Louie, softball games and Mother's Day!
Friday we spent our evening laying landscaping material in the big project we were working on that I might have mentioned last week. We had planned on cooking dinner-like it was typed into our meal plan and posted on the fridge. Instead we decided to try a new to us pizza place; Portside. Well, apparently when I called in our order I called it into the wrong location so I ended up going to pick up our pizza twice. Let me tell you...I felt so silly walking in there to pick up our pizza and them not having it. Umm, hello blonde moment! After another 30 minutes I did successfully pick up a delicious deep dish, Chicago style cheese and pepperoni pizza. We loved it!
After dinner we decided since it was such a nice night that we would go ahead and make a trip for the mulch needed for our project. It was such a nice blue jeans, windows down, lightening bugs kind of night. We purchased 15 bags of mulch and quite a bit of greenery, too. It was a successful and fun Friday night!
Saturday was a busy and hard work day! We started out like this:
Louie and the plants we purchased Friday night. Cute right!?
We drove to Rochester, IN to pick up soil and flowers. This was the part of the project I was most excited about because I love, love, LOVE flowers and greenhouses! We spent most of the morning running around and picking up 15 bags of soil and flowers from at least 3 different locations. Then we we back home!
We dumped the mulch:
...and then we started dumping and spreading the soil. It turned out that we totally underestimated the amount of soil we would need. By a lot! So back in the car we went-Louie included! We picked up another 700 pounds of soil and stopped at McDonald's for a sweet treat (have you had the new cheery berry chiller? Amazing!) before heading back home to finish up this project!
I will say...I was ready to be finished!
We got home, unloaded, spread and started planting:
Above: Louie loved playing in the soil. I thought it was so cute-he would dig and lay down then dig some more. He was already getting a bath Saturday night anyways, so we just let him have fun! :)
Below: He also thought it would be fun to eat the flowers. Yes, eat them. He is such a silly dog! We were laughing out loud at his antics! Too funny!
That wraps up our Saturday. I will post before and the final after of the big project tomorrow-so check back!
Sunday we went to church matching, although that was not planned at all:
We left church early because I had a low blood sugar (42) and we needed to leave to make it to Kokomo in time for our oldest niece's championship softball tourney game. It was so much fun!! Here are some pictures from the game:
After the game (they won!) we went to Chili's for dinner with Stephen's Mom & Dad, Sister and her family. It was a great afternoon to spent at the ballpark and we really enjoyed our time! Plus we got to see Stephen's mom on Mother's Day! Win, Win!
Driving home we saw the sunsetting, which was beautiful! I wish I had snapped a picture earlier, but I do love a hit pink sun in the sky!
The End.
