Overdue Weekend Update

I may be a little late in the weekend update department but thought I could share a few photos anyway. First of all, Happy August! We have officially made it over half way through 2012. I’m continually surprised at how the months speed on through. It seems like just a couple of weeks ago kids were getting out of school for the summer and as of today they have started back.

In no particular order, here was our weekend in pictures: 

Its great when you can find the person you can be your silliest with.

Breakfast at Cracker Barrel, a southern favorite which gives you plenty of grits, biscuits and gravy and  games!

We took a swim in our neighborhood pool. Don't be fooled, I  had yet to be in the sun for more than a couple of minutes when this picture was taken. My body does not take well to sun...at all. I burn while driving in the car. Yeah, I'm one of those.

Lots of laundry and cleaning to be taken care of. 

A small ides of a baby shower craft I was working on. So many fun projects!

So that was a little peek into our weekend. While my hubby golfed I spent time by myself catching up on life and watching The Help. You is Kind. You is Smart. You is Imporant.
I hope you have a lovely Wednesday, we can make it to Friday!

Much Ado About Sunday

Our tiny living room is lit up by 3 lamps and 'The Santa Claus' on tv. The two of us love the holiday season, Christmas especially, and start the festivities early. We've already started to compile our Christmas music mix and have watched The Polar Express 3 times in the past week. Obsessive?Absolutely not.
For instance, my first Christmas photo : {before thanksgiving, of course}

Tria Giovan photography for Southern Accents

You know how Martha has that one task about washing your kitchen trash can every week? You see, to me that's a wee bit much but after Adam and I walked into the house this afternoon and smelt the stench of last nights dinner scraps I through out the rubbage and washed away. Yes, I filled the plastic container with piping hot water and some bleach then let sit for a while outside. I scrubbed the lid then set it aside to dry. I felt so accomplished at my random cleaning act I decided to clean the outside of all our cabinets and vaccuum allll the baseboards. {They were atrocious! Dust and dirt were dancing all about our baseboards, it was due time. Surrsly} I'm just sayin, when I get in the mood to clean, I'm on it. Crazy Lysol chick comin through. Watch out, I just might disinfect your butt...and dust your toes. Ooooh oooh and I hung pictures just as I'd hoped.  Okay okay okay, enough of household chores that are less that blog-desirable and onto the rest of the evening.
I hope you have a lovely start of this 3 day work week :)
