Weekend Recap

Friday

Today after work was just a nice veg night! There were two things that I did tonight. 1. was get an engagement gift ready for the party on Sunday and 2. get Matt to help me fill my car up with our bottles so I could take them to the recycle depot tomorrow. Talk about a rough night ;)

Saturday

So today was more productive. This morning I went to the bottle depot to return all of our bottles since it has been a while. I got to the bottle depot filled 2 carts and still had 3 bags to carry. There was a nice guy that was behind me that helped me push one of my carts since he only had 2 bags. We had a good conversation waiting in line it was pretty funny. Then I left the bottle depot with $77.00! As you can tell I had a lot of bottles to bring in. This still is about $40 short of my biggest load to the bottle depot. I really need to make sure I stay on top of it so I don't have to take so many in all at once.
I figured that since I was out I would go to a few stores since I was in the shopping area and first stop I went to was Micheal's arts and craft store. I have been wanting a fall wreathe to put on my door for so many years now and since I have a gift card to there I figured I should see what they have. Here is the wreathe that I found and I love it!

Also I had picked up some scrap booking paper because some of the sheets were on sale for 5 for $1 when each sheet is normally 0.99 cents, can;t pass up a good deal!
Then I went to a few other stores to try and find my mom a new bread maker since her birthday is on Tuesday and her bread maker died. I finally found one at Zellars so I called up my brother and wanted to make sure that he was good with going in on it with me. Of course he was because then he wouldn't have to go out and try and figure out what to get our mom, this usually happens every year.

Finally the shopping was all done and I went home and did a few things around the house and then relaxed since Matt was out golfing....AGAIN!

Sunday

Today was a pretty busy day. First we had church in the morning followed by a choir practice which I think went really well. Then by the time I left church it was just after 1pm and there was the engagement party that started at 1pm. So I got home found Matt on the couch waiting for me since he got home from church way before me, quickly changed and grabbed a snack and then off we went.
We arrived at the party and not too many people were there yet, so we just started chatting it up with everyone. It was a really nice party because we haven't seen some of the people there for a while. Then more people started coming which was great, and there was so much food to eat too! It was such a good way to spend the afternoon/evening. We left around 6:30pm and there were still a few people left but they were going to be leaving soon too since it was only suppose to go till about 5pm but when the chatter is going you just forget about the time.

Renovation Wednesday

So we have started to do some more work in our basement. Well Matt and my brother and our friend Matt did this bit of work last week on Thursday night. I forgot to take a before picture but this room that they demoed had ugly wood panelling from the 70s and then there was drywall behind it too. Also there was an ugly reddish/ brownish carpet that they ripped up too. So really it wasn't very pretty to look at before. Here are some pictures after the demo.

This is where we are going to build a bathroom            And over here will be a storage room

This will be an office in between the washroom and storage room.

I just took a picture of the stairs just so you can get an idea of how messy this was!

So our back yard was looking ghetto again with all the material they ripped out of the basement. Oh well this should be all taken to the dump yard pretty soon.

Weekend Recap

Friday

Today after work was really exciting because Matt and I were given the opportunity to baby sit Rachel's son Henry! Of course we had said yes when we were asked. John and Rachel were going out for their anniversary dinner and they decided on not taking Henry even though it was a tough choice for them. So I got to their house before Matt because he had to work later then me. When I got there Rachel showed me a few things and then they finished getting ready.
After they left Henry and I hung out and played with different toys. Then Matt came over and he snatched up Henry from me, which allowed me to eat my dinner. While I was eating John and Rachel text us asking for a picture of Henry, it was so funny they were only gone for maybe an hour. Henry had a little nap and then we warmed up a bottle for him after his nap and then John and Rachel came home again. They are such cute parents wanting pictures of their baby while they were out for dinner for just over 2 hours and as soon as they came home you could see they missed their little guy so much! Henry is so Blessed to have these two as his parents!
We didn't stay to long after they got home because we wanted to give them their time with Henry before he went to bed.

The Rest of the weekend

Was pretty much uneventful for me. Matt was away in Cranbrooke BC and I was at home just catching up on chores and then really didn't do much more at all. This was a long weekend too so we had the Monday off from work, I really didn't maximize this long weekend. The next one I will try to be more productive!

Weekend Recap

Friday

Today I didn't do too much after work since I know that the rest of the weekend we will be pretty busy.

Saturday

Today was our Church open house BBQ. We had great weather, thank goodness because it obviously was outside since it was a BBQ! There were a bunch of games to play, there were bouncy houses (3 to be exact), face painting, cotton candy and fresh popcorn! There was so much to do that you couldn't be bored. People from the neighbourhood came which was really great, enjoyed the BBQ and also were given a tour of the new church. As far as I know there was only positive feed back (really what can you say negatively about a church even if you aren't religious). It was a long day but it was still enjoyable. Here are some pictures.

We got to play some fun games!

Here is Matt trying to help put tables away and unfortunately they all fell over.

Hopefully the chairs will go better.

Dad came to the rescue to help clean up.

Sunday

Today we had service and had a big fellowship afterwards with left over hot dogs and burgers from yesterday. We had a great turn out today as well which was great to see!
