we, for some reason this summer, haven't been able to spend too many weekends just being home.this weekend was completely different, we didn't really go anywhere.
well we did make one trip to home depot. name of the game this weekend...operation lets do some of the things we've been meaning to do for a long time all in two days.
that included:
*spreading a weed control plastic blanket in the kid's play area
*spreading 90 bags of bark (and we still could use some more!) in the kid's area
*mr v and co finished the sand box cover and we added more sand into the sand box that mr v and co made over two years ago.
*i bought paint (oh yes i did) to finally do a project i've been meaning to do for over 5 years now. (pictures to come later on this week)
*i made a new header for the blog. after seeing my friend melissa's new header i had to get on it and make one for myself. (you can make your own mosaic here.)

we did a fire pit and then let the boys camp in our back yard. they've been wanting to do this ever since we let them sleep on the trampoline a few nights earlier this summer.
little miss thing wanted to be part of the camping experience as well.katie tried she really did, but with all the excitement i think it was too much for her. around 10:30 we told her she had to go inside and try to fall asleep in her own bed. she didn't like it, but finally gave in to the dark side and conked out.
all in all we had a good hard working weekend and i'm sore to prove it.

Love the new header, might just have to make one of my own. Looks like a fun weekend.
Sounds like the V and Co's had a full and funfill weekend. I love your pictures...and I love your new header. I can't wait to see the project you're working on.
Have a wonderful day,

Love the new header.. I have tried to do something like it, but havent figured it out yet. You will have to show me how. Sounds like a great weekend. We pretty much did nothing...WORK! Call you later...
Your new blogheader is awesome!
The weekend was filled with family fun. Great pictures!
I love your new header! A very fitting "patchwork"!

I know what it's like to wish fervently for a weekend home alone, with just your loved ones - and even hope for a rainy day where you all can just sit in and watch movies. I feel like this summer has been one big adventure after another! Can't wait for a break!
You really have the most beautiful little family. We used to have campouts in the back yard all the time in the summer for our kids. Such happy memories.
The sand box looks great. A definite must. One of the first things we would put in our yard also, except we were not smart enough to put on a cover. I think every cat in the neighborhood loved our sandbox also.
Love your new header - looks like a great weekend.
Love the new header- really cute!
It sounds like a really great (and productive) weekend.
Love it when we stay home and get things done around the house too. Looks like your family had fun and got some stuff done. My hubby had the same idea few weeks ago. He thought we could put the weed fabric down and remulch the WHOLE backyard in two days...yeah, UM, NOT!
Love the new header. Off to check out your link.
great header! looks like a productive weekend. we hung around this weekend as well. too cold to go out...funny to say in the middle of july but you remember the foggy monterey summers!
What a wonderful weekend!
I love the new header, btw.
90 bags! God BLess y'all!
I'm tired just thinking about it!
Have a great week, V and Co.
XOXO

A true "country" style weekend! Isn't it nice to just get stuff done?
LOVE the new header- awesome idea- I might have to re do mine now!
I love weekends with nothing to do (other than what you want to)- ours was like that too- such a blessing when it happens.
Very fun! We have a family of five and only a two-man tent so not much camping going on around here. A bigger tent is on our wishlist!
Your header looks terrific and thank you so much for providing such an easy site to use! Even I was able to do it which says a lot.

super fun. I love your header, it is so summery. I will have to try the mosaic thing.
OH and ps we were up for a job in American Fork...but boo hiss after 5 wks of waiting we finally heard last Friday we didn't get it...so close my friend, so close!
looks like a great weekend! i want to let the kids camp outside one night, havent given it a try yet though.
V....sounds like a wonderful weekend! Looks like one that the kids would love!
Some of the best times are when you don't have to leave home!!!!
the green pillow/mat that your daughter is sleeping on. did you make that? if so could you tell us how. those would be great for my babies.
it's just a sleeping bag!
my kids would love to do those things, looks like good times!
