Although I am always anxious for the weekends to get here, Monday morning is one of my favorite times in the entire week. We don't have to be anywhere in particular and Thomas and ME usually sleep late. I love getting back on a schedule and preparing for the upcoming week.
This was a busy and fun weekend!
Friday night, we had a cookout at our future subdivision. It was supposed to be a campout, but severe weather was expected that night (a tornado actually touched down in north Waco) so we went home after dinner. We roasted hotdogs and marshmallows and got to give all the kids a lesson in what a copperhead looks like since one was killed on the path to the fire pit! Two snakes in one week is ENOUGH!
Saturday was Bryon's birthday! We had the boys' pictures and games starting at 8 and ending at 10. Then, after a quick birthday breakfast, we headed to Conroe to spend Bryon's birthday with his family. Bryon and his dad took the kids to a Kids Fest in town and Bryon's mom and I headed to the mall! For part of the shopping trip, Bryon's mom dropped me off and I was able to shop...by myself...no strollers...no diaper bags...in non kid friendly stores...pure heavenHere is a picture of my kids and Shari's kids (Bryon's sister).
Sunday after church, we headed to the Antique Rose Emporium. It was beautiful and I felt like a kid in a candy store! I have been doing my research for months in anticipation of my visit, but I was still overwhelmed! I picked up 4 new roses and it was time to come home.
We were able to drive on a beautiful scenic road outside of Brenham and it did my soul much good! I love driving off the beaten path. I guess it is from my days working in home care where I had directions such as "Turn right when you see a bunch of cows", etc!
It was a whirlwind weekend but fun nonetheless. Matthew has his end of year piano recital tonight which, sadly, I will miss so I can take Thomas to his game. Bryon will stay with Matthew since he missed his Christmas recital.
Happy Monday morning to you!

Yes, it is at ARE. They had larkspur growing everywhere as well as lots of other perennials.
Here are a few that I got yesterday and some I got last week:
Sombreuil
Reve d'Or (I got one for my fence and a few for my mom for her b'day.)
Maggie
Mrs. B.R.Cant
Valentine
(Thanks for the heads up on these!)
Heritage (I love this one!)
Ducher (recommended to my by a "rose rustler")
Another one she recommended was Souv de la Maimaison
I plan on picking that one up next year along with:
Natchitoches Noisette
Old Blush
Eutin
Martha Gonzales
Carefree Beauty
Spice
Lamarque
Mermaid
I sill think I am going to have to get a Mutabilis.
I still love my Lafter and Mme Isaac Periere! I also love Bonnie's which sells antiques for $13.95 instead of $16.95
Let me know what you think of those!
Call ma and I can take Thomas if you want me to! :) There are lots of t-ball games left to see.
Thanks, Meredith! Karen is still there and she is wonderful. Last time I went, they had a carefree beauty on display but none for sale. Maybe next time!
Thanks, Steph! I am in talks with Lauren so that she can take him to the game and I can meet there only a few minutes late. I am going to sneak out of the recital early I believe!
Sounds like you had a fun & busy weekend! We are going to Conroe Mother's Day weekend I think.
Bryon's birthday card will be late (due to me being out of town), but hope his big 35 was a good one.
