weekend doings

So last week I slacked a bit. Somehow the week passed without anything interesting to report. But look! Here I am on Monday with pictures. This week I'll be a less delinquent blogger. Maybe.

The weekend was pretty satisfying in terms of crossing things off our to-do list. Not the BIG to-do list, mind you. The mini one intended for just the weekend.




Christmas tree and lights in place. Makes the house smell so nice.




On the nesting front, started to rearrange the 2nd bedroom which is now a complete disaster. Why do people have so much stuff??? But it did mean ripping down a FLOR tile bulletin board, (Note: tacks don't actually stick reliably into FLOR tiles... thanks so much for the idea Martha), and turning it into a rug for our bedroom. Yay. Free rug.






FINNNAAAALLLLY started weeding out the overgrown vegetable patch. And found these pretty carrots and this collection of tomatoes and peppers, plus lots of yummy tangerines from our little tree. I'd love to get some new things in the ground before baby, but that might be pushing it. Yard work is not that fun later in your pregnancy.




Forced narcissus bulbs, approximately a month late.




And then spent Sunday afternoon in the kitchen...




Making pumpkin soup in the pumpkin. More on that soon.

And today it's positively pouring rain. Which is nice for catching up on work and maybe baking something tasty? We shall see.
