Alex slept a full 7 1/2 hours last night! I couldn’t believe it when I woke up at 4:30 and he was still sleeping! I quickly went back to sleep without making a peep so I didn’t wake him. He woke up at 6:00 and was such a happy little boy =] He’s growing up so fast! Of course, I’m sure after bragging about this, he will be up every 2 hours tonight! Oh well, I’ll take what I can get!

It was a beautiful weekend here in Oxford! John’s parent’s came for a visit and we were able to get some much needed yard work done. We got all of our mulch laid and it looks 100% better in our yard!
With the house came a lovely jungle patch of English Ivy that needed to go. Thanks to our friend, Tylere, John and his dad it is now gone and replaced with a lovely new layer of mulch! Now we just need to get some color going in all of the flowerbeds!

| Nap time! Alex is exhausted from all of the gardening =] |
My naptime project for yesterday was finally tackling the twine wrapped bottles I found on Pinterest! All it took was an hour (or so), 2 empty beer bottles, twine, and a littlea lot of hot glue. I probably went overboard on the glue for the first bottle. Turns out you really only need to glue about every 2 inches, so the second bottle took about half the time. You could probably use yarn instead if you wanted a little color! Maybe next time =] Now, we have a cute little addition to our half bath downstairs. I would like to get a bigger bottle for in there too, but that’s another days nap project (plus I need a wine bottle)!
