Los Porchs spent the weekend in the north woods with the family, celebrating mom and dads purchase of a new cabin only six minutes from the shack. their offer was accepted so now they're waiting for the inspection to take place and then they can move forward with closing. Porch and I are excited to see them develop their new place into a cozy retreat... That we can partake in!
The rain wasn't invited but sure made its presence known! We got there Friday night and put up the tent just in time. The rain came down in some pretty torrid bouts, we had some water in the tent, but we did okay. The water only came in where our heads touched the side of the tent, something that can't really be avoided when you're six foot five.
Saturday we ventured to Wabeno to check out the Christian Thrift Store and I was more than impressed. It was super clean and organized and I found some incredible deals. I've been working on refurbishing some of our classrooms with real items rather than the cute primary-colored items traditionally found in early childhood classrooms and was psyched to find so many great choices! The silver wear was only 25 cents for 4 pieces! Grabbed some cute baskets and a heart-shaped table for $3 which made my day as I then headed to the hardware store with Porch, Jake, and Grandma to snatch up some spay paint for the table. It's now a gorgeous khaki color and I'm going back and forth as to whether or not I should take it to school or keep it for myself; it would be adorable in our guest bathroom... Decisions. (First world problems, I know)
Sunday we got up earlier than usual (for us) and headed to church with the family. Afterwards, we went out to the bar with Katie and her family (and Jake) for bloody marys and some bar food. What started out as one drink turned into a whole morning together and we had so much fun! Animals is now my favorite north woods bar. I think Porch and I will be going to church more often when we're up north!!!
Todd & Angela arrived Sunday with Baby E and that pretty much made everything more entertaining. Any time you add a one year old to a gathering, things get silly. Baby E has been working on walking and I'm inclined to believe that he will be moving around in no time! It was fun to watch him spill himself up on to the couch to look outside and hear his delight when Uncle Steve gave him a donut. It's the little things I tell ya.
Although we didn't get to spend any time on the water and slept buried under a pile of warm blankets, it was a fantastic end to the summer. I even got to bust out the Uggs! The traffic on the drive home left much to be desired and when we stopped at Wendy's for lunch, Porch let me go into the restaurant with sleep lines all over the left side of my face. Sigh. Sexy, right?
We head out again for another adventure next weekend to celebrate the one-year wedding anniversary of Porch's cousin and his wife. We're excited to see everyone and relax!
Happy End of Summer and remember, after today, no more white pants.
