Wow, what a weekend we had!
On Friday we got everything all ready and packed up and headed off to Fishlake. It was a perfect weekend. I don't think it could have been any better. (well maybe the noisy neighbors that kept us up all night.) Dustyn's mom, Myrna, came up and spend the weekend with us. The weather was perfect. Of course, once again, I did not take my camera, so no pictures. Sorry.
On Sunday night it started storming. The rain was coming down so hard. Our awesome tent kept us safe, dry and warm. But man, that lightening was close. It was a little scary. I don't think I have ever been in a tent when it has been raining so hard. But all was well in the morning.
On Monday we came home early and spent Labor Day doing just that. Laboring. We got a lot done in our yard though. We mowed down all the weeds (hopefully we will be putting in grass soon! YAY!) dug out an old stone path (to get ready to till it all under), and trimmed all of our trees in the front yard. If anyone has ever seen our yard, you know that was a major task. I was going to take pictures, but by the time I thought about it, we had most of it cleaned up. My dad came and helped and did a lot of cutting with his chain saw while Dustyn and I worked on the ground (well Dustyn was sawing a huge limb down by hand). It was a lot of work, but hopefully we will have a nice front yard soon to show for it. (if anyone knows where to get affordable sod, let us know!) We have a few loads to take to the dump today, then hopefully we can get it all tilled by the end of the week. I am so excited to hopefully have a yard soon!

I bet you guessed it -
We are going out of town for the weekend. I know, it's shocking!!!
We are going up to Fishlake! Yay! Dustyn's mom is coming up for the weekend as well. I am super excited.
But sadly, I wish I had a weekend to stay home and get all my housework and deep cleaning done. I guess there will be plenty time for that during the winter, aye?
So we are off - talk to ya'll on Monday. Well, make that Tuesday!
Adios.
