Green Thumb

Today I am trying to turn my black thumb a little green.  I planted some flower seeds.  I've never been much of a gardener...but I can kind of see why people like it.  I guess we'll find out in a week or two if maybe I have a green thumb.

Lazy Day

After a lot of running around and entertaining this weekend....I took the day off.   I didn't do much...and it felt pretty good.

Landscape

It seems as though we haven't had much luck with the weather lately.  When they started our siding they worked one day and then it rained the next three.  We have only had soccer twice in over a month due to rain.  Landscaping was supposed to happen last weekend, but it rained all weekend.  Today wasn't that great of a weather day to work outside, but thankfully we have some pretty great friends who were willing to help anyways.  They got it done, and it looks so good!  Now I just have to hope my black thumb doesn't kill all the pretty plants and flowers we just planted.

Round 2

Even though we started soccer over a month ago today was only our second game.  Between Easter and the rain, soccer has not been much fun...and the two Saturdays that we have had soccer it's been pretty chilly.  The good thing was Aunt Barbara, Grandpa, and Aunt Sarah got to join us this morning. And as a little side note...today is Jon and my dating anniversary.  We started dating 8 years ago today!

Family Fun

Since Aunt Barbara was in town Jon decided to take a half day at work.  We were able to meet him downtown for lunch at Charlie Gitto's.  It is one of our favorites..and Aunt Barbara likes trying new places.  After lunch Jon's dad and sister came over and we got to enjoy the afternoon bowling.  It was the first time we had taken the kids bowling.  Matthias loved it...the other two lost interest after a few times rolling the ball.  I think it would have been better for them if it would have been just the kids bowling since it would have gone faster.  I think there was too much down time and they lost interest because of it.  Oh well...it was still fun to go as a family.

Busy

Today has been a busy day.  This morning we got up and we took Aunt Barbara to Mt. Vernon to see her family.  Isn't so weird that Jon has family in Mt. Vernon...and I actually know them.  One of his cousins was my dentist!  Small world.  Anyways...after we dropped her off and visited for a few minutes we came back home.  Then tonight we got to go out on a double date with Tom and Virginia to celebrate Tom's birthday.  I brought my camera and didn't even take a picture.  Our neighbor was sweet enough to watch our children for us.  When we got home the kids were clean and ready for bed.

Special Visitor

Today was a pretty eventful day.  Justus had his first dentist appointment this morning, which went really well.  I was surprised at how well it went just because Justus can be pretty timid about those sorts of things.  After his dentist appointment we went to Wal-Mart and he got to pick out a little toy for doing such a great job at the dentist.  When we got home it was off to school for the boys.  Charley and I rested and then went to the Metro station to pick up Aunt Barbara.  She was here to greet the boys when they got home from school.  The kids had fun playing with her and showing her all their new toys since the last time she visited.
