I picked up the kids from Grammy & Granddad’s today after work. I love those little boogers.
We came home, and between the three of us, we polished off the alphabet soup I made using Grammy’s homemade chicken broth and my old old old alphabet pasta. The kids liked it, and therefore I liked it. I treated them to ice cream afterwards… it’s the weirdest thing, Tyler doesn’t like chocolate… so, shhh, I let him have maple syrup on his ice cream while Kora and I had chocolate. I mean, really, is there THAT big of a difference between the two?
Then we ventured outside to see what we can do about the garden. I was given some plastic fencing, and I already had some T-bar. I bought a variety pack of plastic zip ties, which came in hot pink, hot orange, lime, yellow, and dark blue. I borrowed this massive hammer from the neighbor, got up on a foot stool, and started beating the hell out of the T-bar. Amazingly, I got it in the ground. And I got all four of them in by at least five inches. (You go girl!!)
Then I secured the fencing to the T-bar using pretty plastic ties. If it seems like this muther is going to stay erect, I intend on covering the dark green fencing with more colorful plastic and who knows what other sorts of decoration.
*grin*
Of course, my T-bar is crooked, and my fence isn’t perfect, but it’s on a hill and frankly I have no clue. If it keeps the dogs out, I’m going to keep it. And I WILL be taking pictures of the progress for you all as I go along.
Life *is* pretty good. There’s nothing like being outside doing stuff to make me smile.
That, and I have a job I love. I have beautiful happy healthy kids that I can enjoy without having to do all the hard work. Like birthing them and potty training. I get to teach them things about Life every minute of every hour I’m with them. And I’m amazed at what they retain. Tyler’s memory is absolutely incredible. He remembered what he was doing last year when he helped me plant my garden and was asking me about people that he hasn’t seen in nine months. Amazing. Out of sight out of mind does NOT apply with these two.
