what a weekend!  after an incredible church service and then shopping at the outlet malls, aaron and i wrote out our list of things to do on an otherwise lazy sunday afternoon!

aaron:
change oil in mower 1, and mower 2
clean out garage
clean out and wash 2 cars and a truck

natalie:
stain shelves for displaying willow trees
make dinner (mexican macaroni - yum!)
nearly cut finger off while making dinner, and spend evening at urgent care!

so, it wasn't actually on my list, and neither was "run around house like crazy, make dog pee, get near-fainting wife in truck, drive to urgent care, get hand sqeezed off by crying wife, wait 1.5 hours for medicine" on aarons list.  BUT, life gets in the way of our plans sometimes, right?  this is hard to type because i have 4 stitches in my left pinkie.  note to self: put frozen beef in microwave to thaw, do not use sharpest knife in cutting block. 

i would show you a picture, but i couldn't convince aaron to take one after the stitches went in.  maybe you'll get to see the cool scar. 

i will type more when 1.) i have 10 typing fingers, 2.) the dog stops trying to eat the power cord to the computer. 

duke hates the vaccum, having his picture taken, and this cool shirt i got him for halloween.  that's why it looks like he's trying to bite my arm off.  hahaha. 

now trust me when i say that i don't like to post videos of me singing.  especially around the 46 second mark.  BUT, my mom really wanted this online, so i figured out how to do it and posted it for her.  thanks to aunt jen for the video.  also, happy birthday to you, your tribute will be coming later today.
