Not The Weekend We Had Planned

Well here it is Sunday night again and the weekend is about over. We had high hopes at the beginning of the week to get half the new deck accomplished, but that didn't happen. We're having a guy who was building a deck in the neighborhood dig the holes and because it rained Thursday afternoon he wasn't able to dig the holes. Then late Friday it got really dark and looked like rain so he didn't do it then. (It ended up not raining so it could of gotten done, ugh.) Then he was to come Saturday morning and guess what? Yep more rain so no holes dug. Part of the deck got delivered Friday so we had the materials to start, but because of the stupid weather and no holes it was a no go. Today was nice, but the guy couldn't come today so we were kind of stuck. Greg did get all the pieces cut today though that needed to be so that part of the prep work is done when we are able to get it started. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow and the guy is coming in the morning to dig the holes so then hopefully we'll be able to get going on this project! The other half of the deck won't be in until the end of the week so while we can't work on it all this week, we'd like to get what we can done. Wish us luck that the weather cooperates!

In other weekend news we did make progress in other areas. Day two of the garage sale wasn't all that great, but I did get rid of some things so I guess that's good. I pretty much got everything all cleaned up from the sale so we have most of the garage back and can get one car in. There's decking stuff now on the other half so looks like Greg's car will be out for awhile. Yesterday we also got Emmaline's new mattress ordered so come this next Friday she'll be sleeping in a big girl bed! A couple thank you's to my friend Brenda for helping me Friday morning with the garage sale, and to Greg's mom for helping watch the kids today, and getting them some more fall clothes, and for all the meals out this weekend!

A couple congratulations to friends having babies this week! First to our friends Nico and Susan on the birth of their little girl on Monday. We can't wait to meet little Carolina! Elizabeth is going to make a great big sister. Then congrats to my friend Ann (who also blogs) and her husband Jason on the birth of their little girl on Saturday. They too had a little girl, and I look forward to meeting little Evelyn Grace too! Best wishes to them all, and I hope you're able to get some sleep over the next few months. Speaking of babies, my little baby girl is going to be turning three in a week! How is that possible? I guess that means it's birthday week for my little princess!
