Lot's of things in this post:

💗 We celebrated Valentine's Day

💗 Mardi Gras at our church

💗Bringing Abigail back to campus 

💗Antique finds

💗 Baking 

It was the best weekend! Lots of sunshine - bright, bright, bright! And oh how that hits different in February after a long winter. I'm no fool. I know here in New England we have a long way to go. We can have snow in early April! But still, that sunshine is won der ful ! ! !

One of the best parts of the weekend was that Abigail came home on Friday evening! She had Monday off from classes so home she came. My mama's heart is full full full when she is home with us! 

On Saturday she got up bright and early with me and went shopping and antiquing! So fun and home by 10:30 with still the whole day ahead of us!

In the afternoon I baked a pie (did the pie crust on Friday night) and I have so many pictures of this pie. What is it about a pie that makes me need to photograph it? I just do! 

Cooling on my pie cooling window 💕

Scott cooked up a lovely dinner and I made homemade bread and we brought it all over to my Mom and Dad's house. Such a wonderful evening all of us there! 

I found this pie basket at an antique store last weekend and she looks so cute in there! Adorable pie traveling! 

Later that night when we got home the girls opened their valentines from us! So fun! 

Sunday

On Sunday after Mass there was a Mardi Gras celebration! (Lent begins on Wednesday) So festive and fun! 

We spent most of that day doing little things at home. I started writing my report cards (have a goal of doing 6 per day and then done!) 

And some antique finds from the weekend: a 60's dress for Abigail for Easter, a chair pad that is so lovely, a pie dish for the fall, and botanical laser prints framed so lovely to hang in our living room! 

Monday

We brought Abigail back to college and took her out to lunch. Gotta take a picture of us saying goodbye til spring break! 

Tomorrow off too! We will be taking down all of the winter and Valentine's Day things around the house and I will clean and 'play house' with dishes, antiques and things deciding how I want things to look for the next few months!
