A productive weekend

October 19th, 2008

Thanks for your comments on the Land’s End suits. I’m so glad to hear people love them. I ordered the one with the racerback, which some of you liked too. I didn’t end up ordering the other top because I realized it was in “rich red” while the bottoms I ordered were “poppy red,” so I thought they might clash. I found another suit, which I got in brown. It really didn’t come in colors I was crazy about. Also, it has rouching, which I’ve learned is a girl’s friend. And it was on sale.

P.S. I wanted to order like 10 suits. They have so many cute ones.

Another update: After a million trips to Lowe’s, we’ve finally replaced our front lights in which the neighbor broke one of. We went back on forth on what to get. We finally decided since we’re trying to pay off our cars, we would just replace the one. Then we couldn’t find the exact light anywhere. So we bought some other inexpensive ones, then learned the bases weren’t big enough to cover the holes. So we bought the ones we really liked, got home and one was broken! Ugh. I shouldn’t complain. Steve did most of the running around and all of the installation. Thanks babe! …  And they look really good.

We did do more than just purchase things this weekend though. We (Steve, me, sister, mom, SIL) took all the kids to the Great Zoo Halloween night: Ella’s first trick or treating adventure. She LOVED it. She ran around like crazy. And her costume was a hit. She was a little bumble bee. Here she is with her cousins and walking with daddy. I had black socks and shoes for her, but of course we lost a sock and her shoes were too small. But I think the pink shoes still looked cute …

    I love Land’s End suits – I think the majority of mine for the past 10 years have been Land’s End. They stay where they are supposed to stay! Your lights are very attractive -kind of “Frank Lloyd Wright”-ish. I love the picture with Ella and Steve. She looks like she is on a mission. . .

    Thanks Kathy. You’re right, Ella was on a mission! It’s funny how many people are Land’s End swimsuit fans. I never knew they were such a loved item!
