It really is. But, it's not the same without Todd here. There would have been so many things going on at our house today with this gorgeous weather! And, most of them would have gotten finished, if only there was more than me here to do it! Well, or if I had neighbors that I could trust to keep an eye on my kids(oh! I still haven't blogged about my neighbor story from yesterday...maybe tonight after girls are sleeping).
We had a good morning, going to church. Leah really likes Sunday school, though I've got to be honest, I'm not really thrilled about this church. It's a bit too big for my liking. I really loved the feel of our small church growing up and miss that a lot. But, the pastor is interesting and the sermons are good messages, so until Todd can help me find another one that we like better, we'll stick with it.
We picked up the playroom, had some lunch and then went outside to play with our friends. And, by that I mean, we went outside for me to be the adult supervision for every child in the neighborhood. These people have no problem sending their children (even at not quite 3 years old) outside to play. We live JUST off of a 4 lane road, with people coming in to turn around our cul-de-sac OFTEN. THEY ARE NUTS and one of these days, I will have to be the one scraping a child off of the pavement. UGH!
So, time to transplant the tomato plants that we grew from seed. Of course, the wind kicked up to beat the band, but we got it done. One for each of Leah's preschool teachers, and three plants to take back east. We'll plant a couple in our garden to see if they will make it until we get back in July, and give the rest to a friend to put in her garden.
The girls were excited to see the ice cream truck for the first time this spring. Our neighbor, was sweet enough (it was perfect for snack time) to buy all of the kids something from the ice cream man! They were all thrilled.
Some of the parents finally came out and the kids played with their bikes/scooters/motorized cars and generally had fun. Since it was time to make dinner, we came in the house, the girls went out back to dig in the garden (and plant canteloupe seeds...wish them luck!) and I'm cooking our food.
Oh, did I mention that the wind blew our storm door open and now I have to call to get that fixed? Oh, or that since our neighbor kid (who is cutting the lawn) doesn't seem to know exactly WHERE to weed eat (though I will be filling him in AGAIN), I went to do it myself, and there is no string left in the weed eater? Oh, or that I steped on a tiny piece of glass that I can't seem to pull out of my foot, and now every time I walk on it, it jags me? Seriously....I can't complain too much...I'm alive and have a wonderfully healthy family, but holy moly! Sometimes it just seems like you can't win!
Dinner time.
