off

Oh my goodness I had a full day off today...what a treat and I am truly enjoying it with Dylan...slept in to about 8 or so...enjoyed reading the paper...and absolutely loved the cool morning air....it has probably been the first sign that fall is just around the corner....I am so looking forward to fall....since summer just zoomed by....it has been a prosperous summer but I can't really say a enjoyable one....Dylan and I headed to the farmers market this morning....we managed to come home with a loaf of cranberry nut bread, home made tortilla chips, some chocolate cookies Dylan eyed early on.....I wanted to get some peaches but they just weren't very sweet yet...we then stopped by the fire station to say hi to dad.....Dylan loves the fire trucks and went back and fourth between two of them climbing all over them....how cool is it that your dad is a fireman....lucky boy.....as we headed back across town we stumbled upon a craft fair in the park and made our way through the booths....kind of a mom and pop type craft fair.....I almost bought a giant wooden Frankenstein for the outside for Halloween but decided against it.....we then made our way to Hobby Lobby which I managed to drop a little cash....we then headed over to Lowe's....where I dropped a little more cash on some more perennials for the yard....the front yard is looking well......I am though a little disappointed with my pots in the back patio....some have died, some look kind of leggy....the inpatients I planted are doing beautiful in the back patio...next year I am planting all inpatients they seem to manage well with little sun and are happy back there....well I guess its just part of a learning curve with a new house.....after Lowes....I stopped by TJ Maxx and picked up some wonderful soaps and goodies for our upcoming guest.....I love beautiful soaps.....such a indulgent treat...Dylan usually enjoys our outing together like this...he loves to run through the stores.....and absolutely loved playing at the craft show....it was quite interesting though when we were at the farmers market he stayed close to me and in fact reached out to hold my hand....it was packed full of people.....anyways we played ball in the front yard this evening and I also ordered a bedroom set that Collin and I have been eyeing.....we are doing a small remodel job in our bedroom...I absolutely hate that we have windows over our bed....that means we have little to no head board and draped right above our head.....I had Mike our trusty handyman come over and give us a bid on getting rid of all those windows and replacing them with just one on each side of the bed....this will make room for our new headboard and bed.....we purchased a bed, two night stands and a dresser....they are huge beautiful carved pieces with marble tops on the night stands and dresser ....we have a pretty large bedroom but this set will easily fill it...hopefully not overly....it is a pretty taste specific piece of furniture and kind of looks like a king should be sleeping in it... it will go well with our era of home.....anyways needless to say I am super excited to be getting it...we are also going to move forward and get Collin's truck paid off here this month....we haven't fully decided on the fireplace for the family room yet....we need to get some firm cost before we move forward on that project......well with that I am going to sign off for now....until next time
