Man was today wonderful or what!?! It hit 70' here and we were living it up! We went to church this morning, well actually Ian and Eli and I did. The other two stayed home with their dad. Lee is sick and it's silly to take Dru so he can just stay in the nursery. Ian did say something funny today on our way home though. I was driving home and as we were taking our turn Ian goes 'Hold on to your biscuits!' Like I'm driving around like a maniac or something. Funny Kid!
Ian and Dru helped me do some yard work...I think someone has taken my kids and replaced them with other children. Normally I have to beat Ian outside and today he willingly helped me weed! What is going on with this kid? So we were out there for an hour or more and then they went inside to play video games with their dad. I went out later after I put Eli down for his afternoon nap. He did much better outside today than yesterday. I think it was cause it was warmer...MUCH warmer! He didn't panic as much. So I went back out and pulled some shrubs out, it looks much better. Although Frank and I are now in a quandary as to what we put there now. We are so out of our realm in the gardening area. All I know is that it needs to be kid proof so to speak. They are the reason the other bushes got taken out...they destroyed them. I just can't get over how nice of a day it was! I'm pretty sure we didn't know how much we all needed this until it came! Just one of those things. What I'm hoping to do is to slowly get things ready for my garden (I sound like a broken record). But I really am looking forward to it.
So I finished up outside and then came inside and cooked dinner, we had tacos...this is one of Frank's all time favorite meals and we eat it a lot, especially when the Seahawks play...Long story! So we got dinner done and kids showered and then we watched movies...well Frank and I watched ours and the boys watched theirs. They watched Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler...I hear it's good I haven't watched it yet. And Frank and I watched Zach and Miri make a Porno...and just so you know..again Frank picked a very stupid movie and I would like those 2 hours of my life back please! Please I BEG you!! It was retarded! We did rent another one that was decent...it was called Role Model. It was MUCH better than the Zach and Miri movie. I think I need to quit letting Frank pick out some movies...cause he likes stupid movies. But that's a side note there.
My plans for tomorrow is to go to MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers') if Lee is better and then to come home and do some more yard work! I'm loving this...and I tell you what. NEVER as a kid did I EVER think I'd like doing yard work! But as it turns out, I do and I do cause it's my yard and my house. Makes a difference when it's yours and not someone else's like your parents. WEIRD! Kinda like as a kid you hate eating certain foods and then as you get older you end up liking those things. What's that all about you know? The best part of the week starting is that Ian goes back to school! WOOHOO!! Don't get me wrong we had a great Spring Break but I'm done. It dawned on me that the school system has these breaks like Mid-Winter Break and Spring Break so that the parents can slowly ease back into having their kids back at home during the summer. Just a thought.
Tonight we had some deep dinner conversation about Lent again and what it means and then we also talked about what Easter is and what we do. I discovered that it's difficult at times to explain those things to kids in terms and ways they understand. You know like using big words and how you understand the situation. I think they got the point though, we also do this for Christmas cause I don't want my kids to grow up thinking these holidays are about gifts and candy. Although those things are nice and they are fun...(honestly who doesn't like those things?) but we do have a reason why we do the things we do on these holidays and lets really remember the point of the holiday and the point of Lent. It's been interesting and what I really love is how much the boys have taken off with this. They have been really good about it. If they ask for candy I say no, remember Lent. And they go 'Oh yeah' and DROP it. No fighting, nothing. I've really been shocked. (I have the TV on for background and the CMA's are on and I want to know why people think Jamie Fox is 'country'? , tangent there sorry) I've been proud of my boys, they have done good. What I'm hoping is next year we will all come up with something to give up for Lent together. Something we all agree on.
Anyway, that's some rambling there and I should go but MAN! Get a load of the nice weather we have got going until Wednesday! GO VITAMIN D!!!
Jamie Fox was born in Texas?
ReplyDeleteApparently so...and so was Mathew...I won't butcher his last name...but you know! So therefore that makes them country...who knew!
ReplyDeleteNEVER let your husband pick movies. Tatoo that somewhere!
