A Great Weekend

Good morning friends!

I can't believe May is coming to a close! Happy Memorial Day and happy Monday. 

Our weekend started on Friday night when I got off work. David and I went out to eat at a restaurant we never go to, but I was just ready to have someone else cook for me and dinner was very good. It was a nice change at the end of a busy week.

On Saturday I got up early and headed out to do a big grocery trip. Most of the time I like to do a pick up order from Walmart, but once in a while I want to walk the store and see what they have on sale at Kroger, plus they always send me coupons, so I had a small stack of those to use. 

I like to do a big grocery trip every few weeks and then not have to go back for awhile. That helps to cut down on spending (for me). Plus, now with work, I have to be strategic about shopping before my next shift starts, because there is no time to shop on those days. 

I spent the rest of Saturday decluttering different areas of the house. Have I mentioned how good it feels to have less stuff? 

I have always decluttered when we've moved, but this time I'm getting rid of things I've hung onto for years and years. Things like jars, storage containers for the pantry and decorative items that I used to love, but not so much anymore. I even sold two chairs that I won't have room for, but a friend bought them and said she has loved them since she first saw them a few years back, so they went to a good home. 

I was able to sell a bed we didn't need and that also went to a friend who had been saving up for a bed frame. So all is not lost when you can pass things along to people you know. I was able to give some extra items to that same friend who bought the bed, as she recently built a small house and is still acquiring decor and other things she needs. Since she has a garden and does some canning, I gave her a good amount of jars that I no longer needed. 

But, enough about that...

 

Sunday evening we had a little visitor for a few hours while his parents went to a wedding. Asa is always a bundle of energy and fun. 

We played with every toy we have, read a few books, ate some chicken, snacked on some toddler cookies and watched some choo-choo trains on TV.  We even brought out the mini trampoline and he had a great time jumping and playing on that. 

He even snuggled up to PawPaw and shared some graham crackers with him. At one point in the evening, he just came over to each of us and gave us a kiss out of the blue. He's always been the sweetest boy 💙

But when mommy and daddy got back and took the baby out of the car seat, Asa climbed in and was ready to go 😅 He was ready to get home and go to bed. Me too, buddy. Me too 😴

Today David and I are both off work and have a few errands to run. We were going to work in the garage, but I think we'll just wait until next weekend. After all, it's a holiday and no one should clean the garage on a holiday, should they?

Have a wonderful Monday and Memorial Day! 

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
