The Week In Review

Fun week, for sure.  To kick the week off in a big way, Leo received two new diapers in the mail.  They are Happy Heiny's brand, which are not my favorites, but they have a cow print and a cheetah print that Leo simply MUST have.  Here's a little fashion shoot in the cow print:


We also had a yummy dinner at Baba and Grandpa's house, where we spent a little time hanging out with grandpa and schmoozing with Papa on the couch:

In other news, Tim's salsa garden is thriving.  This is great news, because everything else we've planted in that particular planter has died.  I mean everything.  Tim is thrilled with his giant tomatoes, which is amusing because he doesn't actually like tomatoes.  But, Tim has big plans for canning his veggies in the form of salsa and pasta sauce.  Here's a sampling of some of our new veggies!
Also this week, we are doing some more home improvements.  It seems like they are neverending!  The front of the house is coming along beautifully.  The roof has been replaced to match the house and we've also put on matching siding.  I'll post some before and after photos of the outside soon.  Tim also started painting the front room a gorgeous shade of blue called Clear Blue Sky.  I'm really excited for the front room to be finished so that we can start moving furniture where it belongs and I can get to decorating!  Here are some pictures of the room when Tim began painting today.

My handy hubby!

Bella was "supervising"

These after pictures were taken this evening, so it's not the best indicator of the color.  I'll put up some more after he does the second coat.

Tomorrow should be a good time.  We're heading to the Rose Bowl swap meet with Aunt Erin and Uncle Manny.  Aunt Erin is on the hunt for some fabulous dining room chairs, so we're gonna get there earlyish and shop, shop, shop!  No telling what amazing things we'll find.

Here's to a great weekend everyone!
