Before I get to the title of this post, I will give an update of our happenings this week. I must warn you there are very few pictures for this post as I have been very lazy.
Kendall was pretty sick on Friday. I stayed home from work with her, which was very warranted since she did not leave the couch all day. She also did not eat a thing for 3 days. How do little kids do that? It was a bummer deal, since her friend Hannah was supposed to stay the night on Friday. All day Kendall kept saying "I feel good mommy. Hannah can come over." To which I would reply "Okay, then how about a bite of toast?" To which Kendall would reply "No thank you". Well, at least she is polite. Unfortunately we had to postpone the overnight stay. One of the most impressive things on Friday was that I made my first attempt at trying to work from home. I got an incredible amount of work done. This was quite shocking to me! I suspect it is because Kendall was so lethargic and Sidney was at Rebeccas...
Saturday morning Kendall woke up feeling much better. By the afternoon, she was ready to roll. So Hannah came over to stay the night. The girls all had a blast. They played very hard. We painted toenails and fingernails, crafted, played in the bathtub. It was an all-around good time. I must say, this was one of my first observations of Sidney the wild child. She was out-of -control with laughter. She was acting so crazy that she actually went under water in the bathtub at least 5 times and it did not even phase her.
Another Saturday morning event was Sidney's first "playdate". Her little friend Emily invited her to bring a friend day at The Little Gym. I can just imagine the conversation when Emily was asking Kristin if she could invite Sidney:) Kevin and Sid met up with Chris and Emily for the morning. Kevin said that she was a little daredevil. After observing the events of Saturday night this does not surprise me a bit. Thank you to the Brandts for inviting Sidney along for such a fun experience!
Now to the title of this post...
The other day Kevin says to me "I really wish you loved doing yard work more". I responded "Why is that?" He replied "Because then you would do it all and I would not have to do any". UGH. Well at least we have both come to agreement that we hate doing yard work. The concept of this mystifies me. How can two people that love the great outdoors so much, like doing yard work so little? At least now that it is out in the open I do not feel so guilty about it. We should have thought more about this before buying our home. In retrospect, a penthouse apartment or a condo would have served us better than our 1/4 acre subdivision lot. That being said...I love my backyard. To that end, Kevin and I decided to join forces and tackle the yard today. Four huge barrels and a couple of garbage sacks later, our yard is looking much better. We actually have visions of raking rocks and making room for a new playhouse for the girls next weekend. We will see what the future holds. For now, we are off to the lake to relax in our boat. Don't get too excited folks. I am speaking of our 15 foot aluminum fishing boat. Just perfect for a cruise around the lake!
