Weekend Recap: Furniture, Friends, Fun!

The Minnick's had a GREAT weekend!!!

Friday Night- We had eat what you can find kind of night! (I'm not really sure if I cooked a meal at all this weekend...) After dinner, we went to pick out a couple of new light fixtures for the kitchen and dining room!

Saturday- During the morning, Mitch and I ...well, mostly him...installed our new light fixtures! I love them so much! When we moved in our house just a little over 2 years ago, I was 2 days away from having Luci. Then, for the next few months we were in baby mode...and then we just never seemed to find time after that to really change up a few things in the house. Our house was built in 1996 and most of the fixtures in the house...ok really all of them are from 1996 and don't really match our taste. Our dining light was hideous...let me repeat that again...hideous. So, we finally made time to get some new!! I am hoping that over the next year we can change out all of them...ceiling fans included!

So, after we changed the fixtures out, we played around outside for a while and waited for the delivery of our brand new dining table and Luci's new big-girl chest of drawers!!! Y'all, I am in love with my dining table!! It looks like this...

but it has a butterfly leaf in it that will allow it to fold out to seat more people!! We love it!!

Later that night, Momma got a little girl time with her friend Kristal and went out to eat and did a little shopping while Daddy hung out with Luci and tried to watch the Hogs (WPS!!) game in between homework. It is taking a little getting used to for Mitch to get back in the homework mode.

Even though her face doesn't show it, Luci loved the sidewalk chalk heart that Momma drew for her!

Sunday- We all got up and went to church and then came back home to get ready for our afternoon picnic at Lake Fort Smith with Kerri and Taylor...and of course their dogs, Spunky and Socks! It was so beautiful and such a great day up there!! We threw sticks out for the dogs to swim, and some of us (not Mitch :-) ) went kayaking!! It was my first time so I was a little nervous...but I think I could definitely have some fun with that!! We had a picnic lunch, (Kerri made some awesome pasta salad and I made flourless peanut butter cookies!) and then we let Luci play on one of their playsets at the lake!!! We all had a blast and are looking forward to going again!

All ready for church! I just love this picture of her!

Whoo! Now that I typed all of this out, it sounds like we had a really busy weekend!! I definitely have a Case of the Mondays today...and am already dreaming about next weekend!!!
