We've been busy!

Well, I haven't blogged for a bit, but it hasn't been b/c I have been slacking!! We have been crazy busy! Of course not crazy enough that I didn't have my camera with me! Let me start with last week-end. Matt needed to install some tile around his parents fireplace before they returned home from their three month sabatical. He procrastinated a bit (meaning he waited til the last week-end before their return). . .but it worked out fine! He got the fireplace finished on Sunday, and his parents came home on Thursday. He did a fabulous job, and their fireplace looks wonderful! Now, I know you are thinking to yourself, "I know she took photos, so where are they already?" Hmmmm. About that. I forgot to take photos of the fireplace!!! Can you believe it? Mackenzie and I were totally busy entertaining Aunt Kathy. . .or was it the other way around?!!

Anyway, Matt finished all the tile on Saturday, and all that was left for him to do on Sunday was replace the stone that had been removed to accomodate the new fireplace & tile. In order to do this, he needed a few extra supplies from Lowes. SOOOOO, on Sunday, we headed over to Lowes. . .Matt said he would only be in the store for a "few" minutes, so Mackenzie and I waited in the car. . .for a long. . . long. . .LONG! time. We got bored. I got out my camera. From then on out, we were both totally entertained! Look at the crazy faces my child can make while sitting in her car seat. . .

After Lowes, the three of us headed straight over to Matt's Parent's place to finish the job. Well, let me rephrase that, Matt headed over to finish the job. . .Mackenzie and I went over to play. Aunt Kathy, Mackenzie, and I left Matt with his work to go for a walk. It was kinda a blustery, cool, overcast day, so we didn't stay out too long. Here are the pics I captured from our journey. . .




Upon our return, Auny Kathy decided it was time to clean the abode. . .it had accumulated a fine layer of construction dust - everywhere. Mackenzie couldn't stand to watch someone else clean without volunteering to help. She enjoys cleaning more than she enjoys her toys! She was given a cloth and then some of her own chores. . .look how busy she was. . .it was her own personal version of heaven!!!!

We stayed and chit-chatted with Aunt Kathy. . .even after all the work was finished. Then we rushed home to get ready for work and school they next day. It ended up being a very fun week-end!
