Weekend fun in the sun, blizzard, and rain!

SUN
This week started out sunny and beautiful so Tim decided it was time to take the dog for a nice long run to get out all his energy from being inside most of the winter (except for when it first snows -Pike loves jumping around in the fresh powder). They go all over our neighborhood with the dog running, occasionally pulling Tim be cause he is so excited, and Tim rolling alongside on his long board.

Blizzard and Rain
Just when all of us get used to the warm Spring like weather suddenly a blizzard/white out hits mix with the occasional rain storm. Although it was not long lasting only about 1/2 hour. Saturday morning it was snowing a little but then it let up so Andrew and Tim decided to go clay pigeon shooting (while I sat in the car and ate my Tigers Blood Snow Cone).


Andrew claims that he has only been shooting once. But Tim and I have to wonder if he has a side job as a sniper. Needless to say we'll watch our backs.








As for me I spent this weekend do something I have never thought nor did I think I would ever do....
I made a baby blanket. It did not take very long I started it Sunday afternoon and finished it after work on Monday. It is super soft with the blue fleece on the front and what is called ultra soft fleece (red) on the back. I even went through and stitch around the stars in the pattern so that it would hold two fabrics in place better. I don't believe I will be making anymore though one was good enough.

Did you finish the ties and everything? You are like me! Once you start something you are done in a day or two! It looks great!
