I've literally felt like we've been running in a horse race lately.....everything is just zooming by! So the house is finally back to some normalcy and I'm happy it's Friday buuuut...we've got stuff to do this weekend so, take that for what it's worth. Things are finally relaxed from the craziness of last weekend, nothing like cleaning the house, preparing a menu for guests on a whim. It really wasn't bad but I'm an order and schedule type of girl, by the way we enjoyed your stay, since I know you are probably going to read this at some point.
So tomorrow I have a bridal shower to go to tomorrow afternoon, in Danville, did I happen to mention the gas prices. Which really wouldn't mean too much but with going to Peoria last weekend for the funeral kinda busts our gas budget. Anyway, to kill two/three birds with one stone Brent and Makenna will be visiting with Jan and Pete while I am at the Bridal Shower. Then afterwards we will continue on to Newport to visit with my Dad's side of the family and have a meal.
Sunday I have to pack b/c Monday morning we will be boarding a train...going to Chicago...Michigan Avenue. Brent has a conference that he will be presenting at so Makenna and I get a mini vacation...and I say that b/c they have a pool. Note to self buy swim diapers. We will be coming back on Thursday. I'll let you know how the hotel is that we are going to stay at...The International Hotel?
Then next weekend is Brent's birthday. Note to self get gift. And Easter....which I've not even thought of a menu for. But on the up side...I have two oven racks! And speed bake!
So....I've planted my Lady Ferns, Lily of the Valley, Orange Perfection Phlox and Grape Magic Daylilies. My morning glories and petunias are starting to sprout, yay, I have those started indoors. I also bought a Blue Crop Blueberry bush....Makenna loves blueberries so why not and the bush is suppose to look great in the fall. Mom is still planning our veggie garden, she ordered the tomato plants the other day and thinks she may work on assembling the bed this weekend. I know how old do I sound, gardening, cooking, vegetable gardens. Yesterday I also did a bit of raking and spread some grass seed. The grass never grew back last year along the sidewalk the city re-did. I bought a sun/shade mix and did some research about what grass varieties would grow best for the conditions, hopefully that one does a good job. The pond is totally unfrozen now, the fish are doing well and are starting to eat again (the colder it is the less they eat). I still need to fish (haha) the pond pump out and unclog it.
It was so nice out yesterday. After Makenna woke from her nap I took her outside to play on the swingset. She did a little of everything and a lot of sliding down her slide. Then we walked around for a bit and she pointed out the trees and leaves. Brent said he took her for a walk around the block the other day while I was out at the gym. He said she made it about half way before he picked her up!
As always I have lots of laundry calling my name!
