The Y.A.R.D.

How about we spent 8-9 hours in the yard today and that was mostly in the front? Was it that bad? Well, maybe not but I think so. Sprinkle in some baseball in the back, a decent bike ride, and a car wash for the family car, and you have us eating dinner at 9:00 at night. Now THAT my friends is PPS. Totally. I think the Oldest was actually moping inside about not having dinner when I came in for the day (I mean night). I made sloppy joes, got mostly done and realized--no buns! Dang it! So we had them on regular bread. I think they were actually better like that. A most simple dinner, not maybe something that goes great with Reisling, but you know, it'll work.

We weeded, we de grassed some serious areas that needed degrassing (is that a word?) inside flower beds, we mulched and he cut the grass. I'm going to need some advice on carpenter bees and how to get rid of them. More on that later. With dinner, I not so smartly had two glasses of wine (so I probably was joining you Tamm after all) and my muscles now are a tiny sore. Just tiny. I exxagerate not. You can take that however you want to. ;)

I had billions of thoughts flying through my head all day and I was really working it out in that dirt, let me tell you. We had a fantastic family day, the Littlest absolutely LOVES being outside and he's teaching the Oldest that it isn't so bad either. I must say the Oldest learned that this past January when he finally learned to ride his bike. Now they both are like magnets outside constantly and that's good because it gets me out there with them. They play and I walk in our cirlce. Ten times around the circle is one mile. I'm walking every other day on my own. I can keep an eye on them; it's perfect. Now lets get some more pounds off thankyouverymuch. I'm in the right frame of mind so lets go!
