I thought I was done for the day and had a minute to blog but as soon as I sat down I remembered that all the bedding is in the dryer and I still have more laundry to do. Oh yeah, and more dishes. We had every big pan in the house dirty for some reason. =S
I didn't really have anything to blog about in particular anyway though, we've been busy with the yard all weekend. Got rained out and thought that renting the bobcat was a waste but then it dried just enough for us to finish up the necessities today. YAY! We're making progress even in the worst weather in June ever! We could have got a lot more done had weather permitted but at least we're still on schedule for the most part. We'll see what z's blog says though, probably that we didn't get enough done. Blah. He's a slave driver (don't tell). =)
OK. Guess I better finish up my dumb old chores so I can go to bed tonight! Yuck. Five more days until Lagoon! Hooray!

Life in the fast lane
Today we celebrated an early Father's Day for z. The girls were home alone while we were at work today. They cleaned the house for Dad and wrote him notes. They put up a sign on the door that we're having a party for him. It was really cute. A. bought him some hand sanitizer and a chocolate and had a card for him, K. was so pleased about spelling his name right (oops, she accidentally spelled it wrong anyway). It was fun.
Nights go by fast here. We don't get home until kind of late so usually I'm home about 6pm and z gets here around 7pm. I pick up the baby from day care and then get dinner going. We eat and after that it's nearly bed time. That's our routine lately. It's tough to get everything else we have going on in there with working so late, even though it's really not working late since I get off work at 5pm and z at 6pm.
We've been doing our yard stuff but it's been slow the last few days since we've been so busy. Oh, and because it's been so rainy! Washington relatives, we now know how you feel and I don't like it. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain, just not every day.
The kids have been out of school for a few weeks and loving it. The baby keeps on getting bigger everyday. She's a persistent cute heart that can get into almost anything she wants to. She's learned how to speed crawl and she can stand for a few seconds. She can walk holding only one hand now too. She looks more like her dad than she does like me. She's such a doll!
We're taking the kids to Lagoon next week! I can't believe I almost forgot about that! Auntie Liz is going to babysit the little one while we're off for the day. I love going there and so do the kids, even if z hates it.
Thanks to Auntie Jess e-mailing us about Davis High's play, I'm taking the girls to see it on the Thursday before July 4th. I wish I could take them on the 4th to go with everyone else but they'll be with their dad that weekend. We love plays so all of us are excited to go! I booked us some tickets online and we have front and center seating.
I love July! I love parades and fireworks and bagpipers! All are so much fun!
I can't wait for grass and family picnics! I can't wait to have a few friends over too!

Ode to one of the kids books!
Like your books,
Like your toys,
But never, never
Like the boys.
Can't think,
Brain numb;
Inspiration
Won't come.
Poor ink,
Bad pen;
That's all.
Amen.
Some write for pleasure,
Some write for fame,
But I write only
To sign my name.

It's raining, it's pouring
I woke up this morning to sounds of rain hitting the house, oh and also sounds of a baby crying. I looked out the window and what did I see? The neighbors pond was looking at me! Early this morning it was starting to fill, by 9am it was really full and by 10ish they had this pump in there to pump the water out.
Rude to laugh I know, but these are the neighbors that made us have to work in the rain last week since they were hell bent on having their land excavated yesterday.
What you see below is the result of putting a house not made for the lot on the lot anyway with a plan of building a bowl so there is less water that can go into this spot (before the entire lot sloped towards their house, this made it so only part of it does), along with the brilliant idea of running a drain up hill. All I can say is...LOL! Karma.
