Weekend Project

Peter took the kids camping, so I decided to paint. Before, during and after pictures below.

This piece has been sitting in our garage for almost two years. Eek. My sister kindly stripped the old paint off of it a long, long time ago. Since then, it has sat with piles of junk on it.  This week I got the painting itch, so I scratched it, bought a new color of paint, Provence, and here it is!

Happy 40th Peter

 

Yay! Peter is finally 40.

All the members of his district at work kidnapped him and took him to Luby's on his birthday. 

They said that's where old people eat. Ha.

They also supplied him with Depends, Ensure, prunes, and other needs for older folks.

His birthday was Thursday, so I had planned for his closest friends and their families to come for dinner.   We had an italian creme cake made for him and cupcakes for all the kids.

Rudy's BBQ was our entree for the evening and they made it so easy. We had the marg machine crankin' and appetizers. It was a great way to celebrate his 40th.

I love this picture!

I used simple brown wrapping paper as the table runner and the kids decorated it with lots of sayings.

The small cupcake in the above picture is a mini carrot cupcake. One of Peter's faves.

Campbell & Ian

The 2nd grade boys spent the evening playing video games.

Randy, Peter, Eric and Greg. These are Peter's closest friends.

 For decorations, we had pictures throughout the house of Peter at all ages. He liked it, and said he hadn't seen some of those pictures in a very long time.

Happy Birthday love!

Carnival Time

 Us Austin Hardin's are suckers for a cake walk. 

 Conleigh loves to be  creative with decorating. Above is her creation for this years cake walk.  Chocolate cake with Kit-Kats as a border and filled with M&Ms.  Goo-Gah!

 Campbell loves red velvet. She went simple and added some sprinkles to the top of the cream cheese frosting. A friend of ours chose her cake.

 Alex decorated with a helicopter and fire equipment. I bought a few things at the Dollar Tree and Alex put it together.

 Conleigh and her posse of friends. Not sure why she has such a goofy face. 

 Campbell ran around with her friends. Obviously, they decided to partake in the hair coloring.

Alex had to take off early from the carnival to play ball.  It was a great weekend of baseball. Two wins and Alex earned the game ball on Sunday.

Learning the tricks of my Mac

We had a great weekend in Austin last weekend with my mom & dad!
