long weekend

we've been spending some quality time together this long weekend.


josh has a cold.
anna has spent the night at nana's two nights in a row.
ben has been a pistol.
it's rained off and on all weekend.

after many years of wanting and planning, we finally hired some folks to put a stacked stone wall around our flower beds and out front.


the wall is almost done so next week we'll work on the landscaping.



it's so exciting--feels a little like Christmas!


but there is still so much left to do.
my garden is full of weeds. but i feel too lazy to weed it.
the deck needs to be stripped and restained.
we are going on vacation soon and i haven't even thought about it yet.
my head is full of little projects that i want to do. but i feel too lazy to do any of them.
i just feel like laying around and chillin with the kiddos.

i bet i know why i'm feeling so lazy and tired.
ribs, beer, raspberry lemonade coolers, strawberry cheesecake, broccoli slaw, zucchini casserole, hamburgers, hot dogs...
it was all so good.
i'm in a food coma. i feel like homer simpson.
mmmmmm, donut, mmmmmmmmm.

i am going to have to post the recipe for the strawberry cheesecake.
it is awesome.
today, after a few bites, my dad says, "man, ame, i had no idea you could cook THIS good!"
:)

happy memorial day friends!
