This time of year is so busy! And I really have a love/hate relationship with it. Tons of graduations, birthdays, other holidays, end-of-school things, plus the start of summer which means YARD WORK. Guess which part I hate?
This weekend was a shorter one since I did “make up” hours on Friday. I usually work four 10s which means that when I take an 8-hour vacation day, there are 2 to make up. So after taking the kids to their 1 and 3 year checkups, we dropped them off at the sitters and I settled into working at home. I did get to go out to lunch with my best guy, though, so that was pretty nice.
Saturday, my awesome cousin, Ryan, watched the kids so we could do YARD WORK. And that is exactly what we did. We cleaned up the backyard, pruning, etc. All we have to do back there before we plant (hopefully next weekend) is to lay down mulch, rock and some more top soil and fix the sprinkler system where Loki (or one of his friends) mangled it a bit. Grrr. Same deal in the front yard, though we didn't quite finish up there – we have an entire flower bed left and thanks to the leaves we didn't rake last fall and the encroaching grass, those beds take FOREVER to prep for planting. Anyway, hopefully we can finish that stuff up and plant next weekend.
Sunday was a really nice day. We had our gym time, followed by errand-running and lunch. Ben was in a super good mood after being super cranky the previous day from his shots and while Matt and Tabby napped, I cut up strawberries, listened to my book on CD and played with Ben who was cavorting around the kitchen doing his funny drunken walk and smiling and cooing at me and bringing me blocks. It was very nice to hang out with just my little guy.
It was a very nice weekend.
We spent yesterday doing yard work too, and I was just about to blog about it. I'm guessing that at least you saw some results, which is more than we can say!
Also, what is couples hibachi night? Sounds intriguing!
Glad you had such a nice weekend!
