So, this weekend was GORGEOUS. And we didn’t go out on the lake ONCE. GASP. It stresses me out when we are in town and don’t go out on the lake if it is pretty. Last weekend, the weather wasn’t that great…so it was okay. This weekend, I was bummed. BUT, I couldn’t really be mad…because my dad and Mikey SLAVED away ALL day Saturday and Sunday and built our deck. And it is AMAZING. But, it just gives me a little bit of anxiety knowing the lake is SO close and we don’t take advantage when there are only so many gorgeous summer weekends. Totally wish we would have this deck built in the fall or last winter, but that just wasn’t on our agenda back then. Oh well, such is life. We still had a great weekend, Mikey worked his tail off…and I played. Haha, just kidding. I played Saturday but did errands/cleaning/helped Sunday…so I wasn’t totally worthless;-)
Mikey got home Friday around 1 from SC Bankers School and started working immediately. Friday was spent bringing all of the lumber home and getting all of the equipment ready for the build. I was exhausted from a fun girls night sleepover the night before…and after a lowe’s trip and dinner we were home and in bed by 10. It was great. Because….Saturday came bright and early. My dad was at our house before 7….WHAT the WHAT?!? He said he threw some boards around to wake us up, but apparently that noise machine is GOOD. Anyways, Mikey was up by 7:30 helping and I had to make a Lowe’s run for them around 8. Collins slept till 9:30. WOAH. My mom was keeping my niece and nephew for the day so we all took off to the zoo for a bit while the boys worked. It was FUN and HOT. But, the kids enjoyed it and it was a nice little outing. But, when we got home it was time for some WATER. My mama stayed at our house while Collins and Grady napped and I took Belle to the pool for a bit. Then, the babies came and joined us later. It was a nice few hours hanging out in the cool pool on a HOT July day.
All this happened Saturday. Impressive.
Saturday night we headed over to a friend’s house for a little cook out. This is becoming quite the norm and I LOVE it. Collins loves playing with other kids and the adults get to enjoy themselves tooJ We were home around 11:30, POOPED and ready for bed.
Happy girls!!
Sunday was much of the same for Mikey and my dad. Collins and I played all day…ran some errands and I cleaned and did random things around the house. I am so impressed with everything that was done to our back deck…we even put together all of our new patio furniture…fun times!! It was a good, SERIOUSLY productive weekend around the Glenn casa. The only reason I was okay NOT being on the lake was because we will be in BEAUFORT for the next THREE weekends. Can I get a big WOOHOO to that?! Cannot wait. We are finally taking our week long vacation the first week of August…and it is going to be heavenly.
That’s all for today, friends.
Happy Monday!
Yay for a new deck!!! Don't you love having a dad that builds? HA! I know I do! PS- love the new wingback!
