Weekend happenings

Hope everyone had a great weekend!  Friday after work I started to work on a reuse project =)  I got this from a great place called Mom's Garden and it was FREE!!  You cant beat that. As you can see it has been sitting around for a long time just rusting away, not being taken care of.... boo- hoo

So I brought it home and added some love and we got this beauty - it looks quite nice in the back yard

Then after Sam went to bed I decided to try to re-make a shirt - I saw the tutorial online and you basically use a shirt that is 1 size too big (I had some large Old Navy tops I wore when I was pregnant) and then you cut and tie over and over - it hard to tell from the pics but it turned out cute!

Saturday while Sam napped I tackled the kitchen mail - this is where all the mail goes and it drives me batty!!!  I like clean counters!

So I moved the tissues to the living room and cleaned off the shelves.  Next, I had this box sitting around that had some of Sam's books in them - a nice sturdy box! Perfect for mail!

I had some paper of old maps and thought it would be perfect since the mail comes from all over the world.... I used some modge podge and glued that sucker on and added some letters to spell out "Mail" and we get this:

And now its all nice and neat =)

We also broke out the water table and Sam had a blast with that!

Sunday was Mothers Day  - I woke up and made these yummy pop-up pancakes

dont they look delicious???

Sam enjoyed them too!

It was a pretty chilly day so we hung out inside mostly - I tried to snag a few pics with Sam - he doesnt look too happy here does he? hahahah

At least I got a smile here!  This photo was really blurry so I made it yellow to hide it - heehee
