long weekend started off right...

ah, I love saturday mornings. well not every saturday morning, because some (well, most) are chore filled hours of the day. but not this morning... this morning we enjoyed breakfast on the deck. an early breakfast as double l woke up at 5:30 AM. oh but don't worry, his lazy parents did not rescue him from his crib until closes to 6:30. his daddy went in the nursery at 5:30, changed him, kissed him, gave him his taggie and put him back in his crib. perhaps he doses back off, but a little after 6 I heard him talking to pooh bear and all his other friends. but by 6:30, he was more than ready to start his day. so we did! the boys enjoyed doughnuts and I had my egg (over-easy) oatmeal toast with coffee (of course). we read magazines and just relaxed. double l even took sometime to read a little martha as well...




after breakfast, we headed to the zoo. double l saw lions, "ties" and bears... oh and feed the ducks, took a photo-op with daddy in front of the bald eagle and horses...



we were home from the zoo just in time for double l's nap. I cleaned off the deck furniture while my bub started on the lawn. UGH, our yard. that is all I can say right now!!!

before and after photos of the beginning of a summer long job of cleaning out the flower beds. my bub weeds. one of the many ways he is the best husband ever. now we will mulch and paint some flowers. we have a few perennials scatter around...



the roses are in bloom... they came with the house and I think they are as old as it as well...



hope you are enjoying this long weekend as well...
