A Beautiful Weekend!

We had a really great weekend, partly due to the fact that we had FABULOUS weather which just put us all in a great mood.  It was close to 70 and sunny both days.  On Saturday we had a birthday party for the little boy down the street who was turning 2.  Since it was so nice outside the party was in the backyard, which was great.  Grady ran around and played and everyone had fun.  Meanwhile Eric managed to move the remaining furniture out of the old office (new nursery) and into the new guest room/office.  Everything fits great in the new space, and the room is really coming together.  Now we can really get going on the nursery!  The furniture should be here soon, I have paint picked, and we just need to start painting.  Eric will be travelling a lot before and just after our upcoming trip to Florida, so hopefully we can fit it in.  Eric also made tons of progress on the playhouse on Saturday.  The roof is all shingled!  The siding is up next, then he can install the windows, and the exterior is done!  I plan on helping with the interior since that should be lots of fun.  Saturday night we went out to dinner since G had taken a long nap.  Good times!

On Sunday we went to a park/walking trails downtown.  We brought G's bike and he rode all over!  He did really great.  He has been riding his bike some, but this was the first time he really rode it a long distance!  After a family nap we all played outside with the sandbox and water table.  Then we grilled out and ate outside on the screen porch, which was great!

Here are some pictures from our beautiful weekend... Oh, and our daffodils are even coming up - spring is here!

Biking at the park







swinging - he is starting to even pump his legs



He loves to swing a hammer



See the playhouse? He is SOOO excited about it!



He looks like a frustrated construction guy



trying to get the hammer in his pocket - I think he was wishing he had a hammer loop in his pants

Eric at work



He said he was giving his trucks a "sand bath" because to them being clean is yucky and they like to get dirty :) That kid is always cracking me up with stuff like that!

We are still enjoying the nice weather around here.  Hopefully we will be seeing lots more of it now that it is almost March!
