Father's Weekend

Gears around here have been switched from "getting the yard work done", to "getting the house ready to show". So, needless to say, our weekends are still not spent out having fun bike riding or going to the farmer's market (ug, now, there's a story). No we have stopped shoveling bark and started organizing cupboards, scrubbing walls and decluttering the entire house! Those of you that have bought and sold homes can feel my pain. However, with the pan, comes some pleasure, and this is all that keeps me going. Once the house is ready to show, we will get to enjoy our hard work and the remainder of our time here. Here are a few shots of our finished yard projects.

We did have a little fun this weekend in celebrating Matt as a father. Matt's mother made matching shirts for the boys and, as you can see, we took some time to photograph them together. It was so beautiful seeing my three boys all together, having fun in the grass. I left one in color so the beautiful colors on the shirts and of the day, can be seen. I made a special dinner with portabella mushroom stuffed flank steak, sweet potatoes drizzled with olive oil and honey and sauteed summer squashes. Mmmm, it was so good.
I think Matt had a nice weekend. We did do some house projects, but they were short and it feels really good to have them done.
