What a great weekend! Jason is the BEST husband and father and I couldn't have asked for anybody better to share my life with! After having a very tough week with the boys, Jason decided to come home for the weekend to give me a break. It was so helpful to have him here and of course the boys LOVED it.These first few photos are of the boys playing with the boxes I received from a Southern Living party I hosted.
I had neatly stacked everything up and put it by the garage door. Well, Jack pulled them out to make a "fun place to play." And sure enough, the boys spent about an hour or two playing over there, making quite the mess. But they had so much fun I couldn't stop them.
We had a busy weekend but it was so much more enjoyable having Jason home. We spent the afternoon planting some plants along the hillside in the backyard, starting our backyard beautification project. Jason and Jack planted five lavender bushes along the first bank, which I am going to make into a walking path with lots of low growing, fragrant plants (like an English garden). We got two other bushes to plant along the slope to help keep everything in tact (but I can't remember their names).
Jack had so much fun helping Daddy dig the holes and then fill them up! He has gotten to be such a big boy, I can't get over it sometimes.
We also planted a blueberry bush on the hill outside the back door. Our next plans call for planting some apple trees on the level above the the lavender and then grapes on the very top.We also plan to extend the deck at some point and put an outside fireplace at the end of it. Perfect for enjoying spring and fall evenings!
Ethan's big boy bed was delivered on Saturday and we are very happy with it. It fills up the room pretty well but looks really good. The side by the bathroom door has steps up to the top bunk, which we think will be great for Ethan, instead of a ladder.
The boys had so much fun playing on the bed and Jack kept asking to sleep in there. That night we took a blanked and draped it over the side and made a fort. Of course, now Ethan thinks his bed is a place to play instead of a place to sleep!
Jason has returned to the base and we are settling back into our routine. Luckily Jason will be home for a long Easter weekend, after seeing the knee surgeon on Friday. Let's hope for good news from him!
This week Jack and I will spend some time coloring Easter eggs and getting ready for having Daddy back.
