i love weekends

i'm fortunate that i don't have to work weekends! i love being home on the weekend!  i usually take full advantage of just putzing around the house... doing a little of this and that.  if i didn't have to go out i wouldn't. but sometimes there are just things that need to be done out in the world....

this has been a specially great one.  my hubby and i have been pretty much together and having some much needed connection time. we've had quite a bit of stressors lately so it was wonderful to share lots of laughs and the chores. he was very happy that i spent so very little time on the computer.  he hates computers!

we decided to take a break and each do our own thing.... 

he's in the living room yelling at the tv.  green bay is beating chicago 21 to 7.  president obama said he would be the first president to go to a super bowl game if chicago won.  i imagine he's sitting on his couch right now also yelling at the tv. 

i just downloaded the photos i took this weekend and thought i'd share a little.

my paperwhites are blooming finally.  i've been waiting....

 

i like this shot the best with the light in the background....

i thought they were supposed to have a pleasant aroma but these are kind of stinky.  maybe my memory is failing....

i think i have the smartest cat in the world!  the dogs sleep in the bedroom with us.... we are the pack!  soon as they catch wind that we're getting ready to head upstairs... they beat us to the room.  now i don't really mind except for the mornings when they wake me an hour before i need to get up.  the cat, however, i don't want in my room!  being the night owl that he is... he messes with the dogs and jumps all over the place.  we usually end up throwing him out of the room and closing the door.  what does he do?  he sits and meows and scratches the door.

a few nights ago he kept it up so my hubby put him in the basement.  now that's not such a bad thing.... it's finished off and he had a nice comfy couch to sleep on.  he could've watched a little tv too if he wanted. 

well, the latch on the door is loose so within minutes he was back up in the bedroom.  did he learn his lesson and be a good boy?  what do you think?

another trip to the basement for him!  this time with a chair blocking the door.

now i said earlier that i think he's the smartest cat in the world but this escapade does not prove it.  

but this one does....

mom, can i go out?

no rocky, the birds are eating...

please????

 

got it....

not quite....

let's try this again....

another day, another time... just you wait!

this is what he wants...

i know one day he will open that door!  it's a balancing act of nature....

now without further adieu, i've got to be fair and show off the siblings.....

what did you do this weekend?
