There won’t be much to this post because there really wasn’t much to this weekend. I spent the majority of it raking my front lawn then my back yard and watching The Walking Dead. I took one or two naps but really who’s counting?!
Saturday: I headed out early to Old Navy for a new Sweatshirt and then to Lowe’s for some lawn bags. Then a quick grocery trip. Then I spent 2.5 hours raking leaves and bagging everything up. Twelve bags later I took a break. Did some chores around the house in between episodes of the Waking Dead.
A little snuggle session with Seamus // A huge salad for fuel before raking // A good 12 bags from the front yard // Bacon Big Mac Salad – recipe coming soon
Sunday: A little more of the same, raking the back yard, house chores, watching the Walking Dead (I am up to Season 3), and snuggle time with Seamus. He was a cuddly little bugger this weekend. Not that I am complaining. He even took the lead and let me know when it was time for a nap.
I had to do a little meal prep first though.
Then it was a little bit of this…
then a little bit of this…
and this…
How could I resist napping with that little lazy bones.
This post isn’t complete without sharing my complete and absolute appreciation to all the veteran’s who have served and are currently serving in the military. To my Dad especially who is a Vietnam veteran. It is with thanks to them that we have the freedoms that we have today.
Linking up with Sami at Sami’s Shenanigans and Leann at Join the Gossip .
Nikki @ The Pink Growl says
I always love all the puppy pics!
Kerry says
He is probably sick of being the center of attention but that won’t stop me! He is just too cute!
kathy @ vodka and soda says
adorbs that your doggies was a snuggle pooch all weekend!
Kerry says
He was too cute and so lazy! I took it as a sign! 😉
SMD @ Life According to Steph says
Cannot wait for that salad recipe!
So I raked this weekend. Then the dogs ruined all the piles before I could bag them. I give up.
Kerry says
It was so good! Oh my goodness, I can bet it was adorable even if it was a wasted effort.
nichole c says
Seriously, how cute is Seamus??
Kerry says
Thank you, he is a cute little bugger!
Stephanie says
Awww Seamus! More more!
Kerry says
I know right?! He is much cuter than I am!
Emily T says
I can’t imagine raking all of those leaves. Think about how many calories you burnt! Haha
What kind of sausage do you get? Chicken?
Kerry says
It was a really good workout and the squatting to pick them up, I was sore the next day! For the meal prep veggie mix I used a mixture of Chorizo and Pepperidge Farms Kielbasa. So yummy and quick to make!
Erin says
yard work is quite possibly the hardest workout of anything!!!
Kerry says
It is really hard, a lot of squatting!
Sarah says
2.5 hours? That’s extensive!
Kerry says
Yeah it is not a big yard but it was covered and getting them into all the bags. That was just for the front yard too. The back yard was another hour. The leaves are so pretty though, just wish they didn’t fall in my yard! 🙂
Lauren says
Ooooh, Walking Dead. I love that show and can’t wait for you to catch up! But, you are seeing Carl age at warp speed. Watching in real time, it’s more subtle, but when I see and hear him from the earlier episodes, it’s kind of funny since not that much time has passed on the show.
Kerry says
He has gotten so big and a tough little dude! I think I will be finished with Season 3 tonight at the gym. It is weird since some episodes span a week, then one episode the mother was five months pregnant.
Kristen @ Your Beauty Fix says
That cuddle monster is too cute!
Kerry says
Thank you!! He really makes it hard to resist giving him kisses and being lazy with him.
Jessica says
Sweet Seamus!! Cuddle time is the best!
Kerry says
It really is the best! He loves to be close by and if I get up he gets up to follow me. He is just a cutie!
Amy Reed (@sweethomesb) says
YUM! That food is making me huuungry. Looks like a great weekend!
Kerry says
Thank you. It was very relaxing. Come back tomorrow for the recipe on the Bacon Big Mac Cheeseburger Salad!
Leeann @ Join the Gossip says
12 bags? DAAAAANG haha. I wish we had leaves! Well, foliage really.
Seamus is quite the patient little thing. Mine will not pose for pics. It’s so hard to get any of her lol.
Glad you had a nice relaxing weekend. Thanks for linking up 🙂
Kerry says
I love the changing of the leaves and all the colors but I could do without picking up the leaves. Seamus is more just lazy and bored with the crazy lazy always shoving a camera in his face! Haha!
Amy Powell (@amyrenepowell) says
I didn’t do much this weekend…. lots of naps & some house work. I couldn’t imagine raking 12 bags of leaves! go girl!
Kerry says
It was a lot of work and the leaves are taking over again! Hope the snow comes to cover it up before I have to rake again! 😉
Kimberlee VDW (@KimberleeVDW) says
lol one perk of living in Manhattan is not having to rake leaves I guess.. didn’t know it took that much effort! At least you had a relaxing weekend otherwise.
Thanks for linking up 🙂
Kerry says
It does take a lot and the leaves are back as if I didn’t even rake. Almost hoping for snow to come and cover it. Almost!
Stacia says
Seamus is so cute! I can never resist taking a nap with Maximus when he wants to cuddle, either. It adds a bit of extra relaxation to nap time. 🙂
Kerry says
Thank you! He is the perfect snuggle buddy but he totally makes me feel lazy too with all his naps! 😉 So tempting. Maximus looks like the perfect snuggle buddy too!
