weekend events

Friday night we had some friends over for dinner. It was lovely. We grilled some steak. Saturday was a beautiful day, but we didn't take advantage of it very much. We went out and ran a few errands and then came home and took a long nap. That turned out to be a very bad idea because neither of us could sleep on Saturday night. After naptime we went to the dinner and then to the Duke Gardens. It wasn't crowded at all and there were lots of pretty ducks.

Then we went home and bummed around. Sunday, after church, we went a few places looking for cheap rocking chairs. We didn't find any and settled on cheap plastic patio chairs for our backyard. Matt went to school for a while to get some work done and I went back to the gardens and then to the mall. The gardens were much more crowded since it was the middle of the day, but I still managed to get some nice shots of ducks and such.

Sunday evening was a relaxing evening hanging out outside with our neighbors. I took some pictures but haven't downloaded them yet. Our neighbor's kid just turned 2 this weekend and we got a him a bubble machine, which he totally loves. So we played with the bubbles and grilled some chicken for dinner. I think it was a very nice relaxing weekend, filled with beautiful weather. And to end here is a cute picture of Albert from the weekend...oh and a little Albert story. Matt accidentally left the back door open on Sunday afternoon and I went into the kitchen about 10 minutes after he had come in and realized that the door was open. I screamed for Matt to come because I was certain we were going to have to search high and low for our little kitty, but it turns out he was sitting on the step eating some grass. Thank goodness. Now he is watching the door even closer in case we leave it open again. He has tasted freedom.
