weekend business

We had a very nice relaxing weekend.  Made a cardboard post office with the kids on friday.  It wasn't pretty but it kept them entertained all evening.  We made one of those large blue mail box's and Syler made some PO box's. Elena was the post master.  She made her own desk out of a box.  And Chasley was a mailroom clerk.  Amazing how far some cardboard and using their imagination can go!

On Saturday i spent the day with my good friend celebrating her birthday.  I tried sushi for the first time and then we did some shopping.  I actually enjoyed the sushi.  But i wasn't adventurous enough to try any with raw fish.  We went to some really fun home decor shops and antique/2nd hand (one we referred to more like "5th hand"... they didn't filter the stuff that came in very well.  Why people would donate underwear with stains really baffles me, EWWWWW!)  We had a ton of fun going through all the stuff.  Here are some of my purchases.

I also bought a cute feed sack that i didn't get a pic of.  Planning on turning it into curtains.

I also acquired a stash of pallets that i have been having fun with. But i am taking my time and spacing out my projects.  I made some shelves for my living room.  (will upload pics once i get all of my photo frames and nick knacks added)  And i made this headboard for my son.

His room is still a work in progress.  But getting closer to getting it done.  He loves anything to do with cars and racing.  He got his first dirt bike for Christmas.  His dream is to race.  We have a family friend that he got to go see race his dirt bike and he really looks up to him.  He has got a great mentor.  Just makes momma a bit nervous :/

Now it's time for some "cuddle time" with my Lena Bena.  She always reminds me and the hubs if we haven't gotten our "cuddle time" for the day.  She just walked in the door from 4-H.  Then it's off to bed for this girl!  Night all!
