Kevin and I have a thing about not publicly celebrating holiday's on the actual days. We refuse to be cliche' and go out with the masses on Valentines Day, so we decided we would treat our new parental holiday's the same way. Therefore, we went out to a nice lunch on Saturday instead of Sunday. We went downtown and checked out a cute shabby-chic little bistro, Walton's Fancy and Staple. It was a delicious light lunch of sandwiches, soup, salad, and iced tea. August entertained himself quite nicely in his car seat while we chowed down.
Kevin spent the rest of the weekend working on projects we've both put off for quite a while. He built Versailles boxes for the fig and satsuma trees we were given two Christmas's ago (but who's counting?). He also bought the lumber for a daybed/bench we've planned for the balcony, so hopefully we will be able to whip that project out soon as well. Don't get me wrong, I didn't expect him to single-handedly build these projects. We did buy the chopsaw because I have a special place in my heart for them afterall! It's just that August isn't very patient these days, and wouldn't exactly allow both of us to work at the same time. So all I got to do was measure out and mark the boards. Next time I expect some power tool action though, as it's been way too long!
Other than our lumber projects, I received a bunch of beautiful, pink hydrangea's, a very pokey, torch cactus to add to the collection (because they love me so much it hurts), and a fabulous card complete with Augie's hand print since he obviously can't sign his name yet. I noticed the two of them were being suspiciously quiet and went downstairs to find Kevin feverishly trying to get the ink off of our baby's hand. No need to worry, he only has the slightest bit of blue remaining under his thumbnail :)
It was a great weekend with my boys and the pups, once again I feel so blessed to have my happy, healthy little family!
