tim's kind of weekend...



no - these weren't all the same day.  and it wasn't today or else it would be a lot sunnier in these pics.  but most weekends, tim is looking for things to do outside.  today was no exception.  i used to be annoyed that tim didn't just want to spend time with ME on the weekends.  now, i'm just glad that he has stopped asking me to help.  haha.  today after a little early-mother's day breakfast for tim's mom, we went and voted early.  then we got an ice cream cone.  when we got home, i partook in my favourite weekend pasttimes - reading and napping.  tim seems to think it's funny that i want to read in bed on the weekends but is pleased that i'm not bothering him so he is very encouraging.  "now, you go read your book while i go outside."  haha.  tim weeded, tuned up the lawnmower, and mowed the front and back lawns.  when he was ready for a break, we sat out on the deck together reading and i made him a "frappe" in the magic bullet.  we went for a slow walk around the block and now that he's gone off to putter around the yard some more, i have plans to wander around town.  you know, hit up the grocery store, michaels, maternity clothing store, and maybe get a real frappe at the bucks.  we have learned to peacefully co-exist on saturdays, each doing what we like, then hanging out for short times here and there.   and we have a nice looking yard and house, thanks only to my husband.   as mcdonald's would say, "i'm lovin it."

Peaceful co-existence is a good thing. I wonder which parent the little Shulba will take after?

he's got a such cute face! I love how he has a little smile that says "my wife is nuts for taking my picture". My favorite is the lawn mowing shot. You are a lucky lady for having such a hard working (and cute faced) husband :)
