You got a little stain on your . . .

Deck.

So I normally try and only blog about the stuff that I do and not all the stuff that everyone else is doing. But, The Hubby has been extra busy this weekend. He really wanted me to take a before and after pic of his handyman work so here you go:

BEFORE

 AFTER

Its not perfect (his admission) but it is a million times better. There is still a little bit of work yet to do, but it will certainly take us through the rest of the fall without a yucky looking deck. We will see what it looks like in the Spring and just might breakdown and do a massive sanding and re-staining party then. And the best part of all of this is... I did nothing. Well that's not completely true. I answered some questions and helped for a minute or two when asked, but 99.5% was done without me. Heaven, I'm in Heaven. Thank you Hubby.

Because it was a painty kinda weekend I picked up all the paint for my next two painting projects. More details later :)

We had a great weekend (besides a Cards loss yesterday)! It was full of everything and nothing all at once. I felt like we got a whole bunch done but also felt like we hung out together a lot. While we were picking up some painting/staining stuff at local giant hardware store the Firetruck and Ambulance were in the parking lot and they were giving tours to all the kids. Little G was tired and kinda grumpy so I only took a few photos.

The Hubby also made dinner one night. Clam Chowder and French Bread. I helped a lot with the french bread but only because I sent him to run some errands. It was yummy!

I don't know what he is doing, but he was been majorly helpful lately. I'm not complaining or anything, just wondering what hes trying to butter me up for ;)

I think we have an official first word from Little G! "UH-OH!" Well, its the only thing he will repeat back to you after you say it, and he says it on his own, but I don't think he knows what it means. I don't know if that counts or not. Its so funny. Who woulda thought you could have a whole conversation using "uh-oh"!

Finished Walking in Circles before Lying Down, Merrill Markoe. Liked it a lot, but I like dogs and dysfunctional people.  Currently reading Salem's Lot - Stephen King

Well I am going to go back to giving my Cardinals full attention - we are winning right now 6-2! - well make that 7-2 yay Pujols! Gotta go!
