Good Sunday!

We've started going to Saturday night service and we've really enjoyed it. It works out great for us because it's way less crowded than second service on Sundays. It feels much more laid back, which we really like. The girls Sunday school classrooms aren't packed full and they enjoy that as well.


This is a pic of the house before we planted.
Before church on Saturday, we went to Houston Garden Center and bought a bunch of flowers and plants to color up our flower beds in the front yard. Aaron wanted to hire someone to do it, but I wanted to make it a family project. We got up early (well early for a weekend) and got to work on the front yard. It was such a beautiful day. There was shade in the front and the weather was perfect. We planted mostly white and red flowers (impatience and petunias) along with some day lilies.


This is a picture of the house after we planted.
Maddie dug, fertilized and planted most of the flower beds. I pre-positioned all the flowers and plants, but she did such a great job. She just got right in there with her bare hands and all. I was so proud of her.
Here's the flower bed on the right.
Here's the flower bed on the left.
Here's the red and white Impatience we planted. We also planted Petunias.
Here's some pretty green and white leafy plants.
Maddie picked out all of our Day Lillies.
I don't know what these pretty purple flowers are, but the builder planted them.
We finished around 11:20 and left the house by 11:30 to do the Grocery Game. We got some really great deals as usual. We got home by 1:30. I fed the girls and Aaron put them down for a nap by 2:30. We got them up at 5:30 and after Aaron's mom showed up, we headed of to Aaron's softball game. We had left over catfish (re-fried, which made it extra crunchy...yummy) and asparagus.
All in all it was a good Sunday!
