Festival Fun and House Projects Completed

By Courtney 25 Comments

Ohhh, what a great weekend! Filled with fun and productivity, and since I’ve got lots to share, I’m just gonna jump right into it!

Friday night was spent at home with some takeout pizza and wine, all while hanging out on the front porch with my boys.

IMG_3819

It was the most gorgeous evening…gotta take advantage while we still can!

Saturday morning was a bit lazy and also involved some coloring. I mean, how relaxing is coloring…am I right?

IMG_3824

So much so that I went ahead and ordered myself an adult coloring book of of Amazon shortly after. I can’t wait for it to arrive!

Since coloring lasted all of about 2 minutes for my active little one, we made our way outside shortly afterwards, where he was in his glory playing in the dirt and sandbox.

IMG_3827

Thankfully, we tuckered him out enough for him to take a nice, long 3 hour nap.

IMG_3829

It couldn’t have happened on a better day, because Jay and I had a LOT that we wanted to get done outside on Saturday. We worked on clearing up the garage a bit, and I set out some of our patio furniture in the backyard (even if it won’t get much more love before the weather changes).

I also put out the pedestals with solar lanterns we got from Sears down at the end of the driveway.

IMG_3835

After that, the rest of our time was spent in the backyard cutting down and clearing trees. WHEW, talk about exhausting.

IMG_3886

But we were able to make quite a bit of progress, so we were thrilled with that. Now if we could just get some grass back there… Winking smile

IMG_3833

Late on Sunday morning, we all headed over to the Apple & Wine Festival at the Altamont Fairgrounds.

And even more exciting, we got to meet up with our pals (and old roomies) Kanika, Shaheen, and their sweetie pie, Kaura.

IMG_3844

The two of them had a blast playing in the cars, jumping on hay, and especially, checking out the animals.

IMG_3853

Lucas loved watching the baby bunnies!

IMG_3858IMG_3884

I just love these two, and I sure hope they wind up being close buddies just like their parents are.

IMG_3882

And hey, who says only the kiddos can have fun?? Winking smile

IMG_3883

Of course, since it was an apple and wine festival, Kanika and I spent a little bit of time sampling some wines.

IMG_3866

IMG_3860

And while we sampled wines, the guys hung out outside with the kiddos listening (and dancing) to some live music.

Unfortunately, Lucas apparently fell shortly after his movin’ and groovin’, and combined with the fact that we were really going over his nap time, our wine tasting had to get cut a bit short so we could head on home. Such is life with toddlers, right? Hey, at least we still got to spend a couple of hours with good friends. <3

IMG_3867

And even though my little man was more than ready for his nap, that didn’t stop me from grabbing some cider donuts on our way out.

IMG_3869

First ones of the season and they were tasting miiiiiighty good!

IMG_3885

The rest of Sunday was spent doing grocery shopping and working on some more projects at home (which, if you follow me on Instagram then you probably already saw one of them!). I’m planning on sharing more of that project with you guys tomorrow!

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend, and here’s to a wonderful week ahead for all of us. <3

    I went to a food festival this weekend! The highlight was a maple bacon and a gooey butter donut! Then with dinner I tried a blackberry mojito - so good!

      Hey Jen! Yes it's an outdoor vinyl rug meant for outdoors/grass. It's a little tough on the grass since the ground is uneven but we're making due with what we can now since we've only been here for about a month :)

    Love the video of Lucas dancing! So you said he was close to nap time...does he fall asleep in the car?? If so can you transfer him from car seat to crib without him waking? I'm a nap freak and always try to be home well in advance of nap time for my little guy to avoid a short crap nap, but it's so hard!! Just curious how other moms handle this..

      Haha well he usually goes down between 11:30-12 for his nap. He did wind up falling asleep in the car on the way home (around 1:45pm) but only for about 20 mins. He's a suuuuper light sleeper in the car and hardly EVER falls asleep (boooo!). The couple random times we've tried to transfer its a total fail. I'm so envious of those who can!! I'd say as he's getting older we're more inclined to be more lax on his nap if there is something going on. But I totally hear you...I'm usually a nap freak myself! ;-)

    Looks like you guys had a fabulous weekend! I've had an adult colouring book for a while, however, on the weekend we were out shopping and Jesse grabbed two new ones - one for me and one for him - because he wants to join in on the fun haha. Now we alternate between watching tv of an evening and colouring in haha.
