Saturdays are great!

The plan was to wake up and hit the gazillion garage sales in the neighborhood as well as the Farmer's Market on Valleydale Road. That plan was thwarted by sleep. Our bed was so cozy this morning I could not find myself to get up. My head would ponder on the great finds I would encounter and the yummy fruits and veggies local farmers would have in their stands that was, until I fell back asleep only to dream I was back in high school again. Ugh.

I finally got out of bed around 10 and made our usual Saturday breakfast. After eating that and enjoying my wonderful cup of HOT coffee. (Usually I drink cold coffee in the mornings because I am busy setting up for shoots that I forget about it until it's too late. And because I am a coffee addict I drink it anyways.) Dave then set out to work on the Jeep again while I finished up what was left of laundry. I did sneak downstairs to snap a few pics of his efforts. My husband loves his Jeep. If I came with a stick shift and a roll cage I truly think he would find me much more attractive.

In other news, crepe myrtles are blooming here in Birmingham and they are just beautiful! We have pink ones at our house. 

And to add to that, our fig tree is bearing fruit! Yippee! Fig trees are a Dunlap family tradition. Dave's grandfather grew these for us from his tree and Dave's dad has his fig tree growing in his backyard as well. Gran and I have a date this month to pick and make fig preserves (which are the best). I can't wait to learn this family recipe.

After my plant expedition I came back inside and watched some TV and watched Molly and Zoe duke it out.

Then we got ready to head over to Clay and Kelly's to watch their sweet girls for them while they ran some errands. We had so much fun with them. We played dress up, danced around like ballerinas, played hide-n-seek and leap frog, and drew on Dave's iPhone. Here's Dave "wearing way too many necklaces!" as Avery pointed out.

After our adventures in babysitting we stopped by home to change and then went out to eat some dinner. Dave stayed at the restaurant with friends while I went home. The reason you ask. UFC 100. It's suppose to be the fight of the century or something like that. I was totally not interested in watching 3 hours of UFC fights. Dave loves his UFC. I know, it's hard to believe after seeing the above picture.

Whew. What a day! It's time to unwind and head to bed...

Goodnight,
