What We've Been Doing All Week...

Oh my!!! I am soooooo tired!!!!!!!! Curt and I have been working in the front yard since Friday and pretty much done!!!!!!!! We TOTALLY re-did it!!!!!!!! It will look sooooo nice when Spring comes, as long as all my old bulbs come up that is!!! :o) Hopefully it will all fill out and look really nice! I did NOT want to put more hosta and day lilies out there, but I needed to spread the ones that I had out and didn't just want to toss them. PLUS it was FREE plants!!! :O) Even if it isn't what I really want. Oh well.... Maybe in the Spring I can find some more all shade plants!!! :O)


Where ever you see mulch, that was grass!


There were a couple pricker (why do people plant them?) and couple other weedy looking things, Curt dug them out! Still need to put some mulch back by the azelas!



Lots of hosta!! :O) I found a black eyed susan out back, I didn't plant it and it wasn't there last year or the year before, but NOT complaining!! So I transplanted that to the front and bought a phlox (SP?).


I am going to paint our house number on this cool rock!


I will (maybe next year!!) dig the rest of the grass up and go all the way to our driveway.


I think there are almost 30 bags out there!


Can't see the top part as well. I am at the bottom of our driveway, it is to steep to see!!! (It's GREAT in the winter, NOT!!!)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
