breakfast with the neroni's

hello all.. I am really quite tired tonight. ready for another weekend.

We had a great weekend. the weather was perfect here, we cooked out every night, and ate late.. I love summer nights when we dont eat until 8:30 or so.

Saturday I went garage sale-ing and flower shopping with my daughter Jennifer. we had fun. We discovered the most interesting garden at one yard sale.. look at these pictures...

Then Sunday I planted and puttered the day away.. Heres a couple pictures of my yard... You need to understand that I am not a gardener. I like to plant in pots and window boxes... thats about the extent of my gardening abilities.. plus.. I hate to get dirty.. and I HATE worms!!


Monday I went out to breakfast with all my children plus one. that was interesting... my youngest son had been out drinking with buddies the night before and still had a buzz going. He was a bit obnoxious and I was flipping back and forth between being ticked off, amused, frustrated and embarrassed! At one point he said, as he was fiddling with butter and jam packets "ask the waitress for something to put this butter on". when we told him that she would be bringing his breakfast soon he said, "ask that man over there if he has anything to put butter on." Then he pulled out 60.00 and tried to give it to his brother if he would drink the little tiny pitcher of cream and eat 5 packets of sugar... Tony told him he wasnt going to take advantage of him. rob keep bugging him about it and finally I said.. give me the money and I picked up the creamer and was going to drink it myself.. I figured I didnt mind taking advantage of the kid, if he was dumb enough to offer.. but I couldnt make myself do it, there were other people near us and I didnt think it would be very good manors to drink out of the pitcher!

EIY YIE YIE!! Had I know he wsa in that condition, he wouldnt have gone, or I wouldnt have. but he rode with his brother.. When we got home he went to bed and didnt get up until way later in the day! Anyways, theres always something interesting or painful going on around here!

The trip up was interesting too.. I rode with my girls and they were blasting music that bethany made on a CD for me, and were singing at the top of their lungs.. very short video below! actually , I always have fun with my girls!

Yesterday, I crafted.. Imade the liner for this basket, and you can see that Jasper thinks its all about him.. Gosh that cat cracks me up!! He is so needy!! He needs my constant attention! I love love love him!!

then I made this little bear. I wanted him to look like the old carnival bears, they were kind of square-ish and were brown and yellow. I just couldnt leave him plain though, he ended up with buttons and a hat!
OK.. thats all ..
except.. please girls if you havent sent me pics of your miniature pieces from the swap.. please do! I'm just dying to see them all!! have a good week all!
