Day 2

Day 2: Photo of me and how my day went.

Well, it just so happened that yesterday was Tim's day off, so we had a very fun (very full) day. Started off by making "those roll up things with frosting in them" aka crepes with cinnamon and sugar in them (Ky's description). Got Emmit down for a nap, worked out while Tim and Ky and Mya mowed the lawn (thank goodness it was the recovery day), then started the yard work. Tim and I have found that we enjoy yard work more than we used to think we did, and so have been trying to get our yard looking better since it had been a little neglected the last few years before we moved in. We pulled out some over-grown-gone-wild-with-some-kind-of-vine-thingy-mixed-in roses that were outside our bedroom window first. We are going to spray them and then get the rest out later, but at least they are gone and won't be scratching at our window anymore (this is the after picture - they were taller than the bottom of the windows and were the whole length of this area).
We loaded the branches we had cut off of trees the last couple months into the loader and hauled them off along with the roses, and then while I got Mya lunch (she was STARVING), Tim and Ky pulled out the stump with the loader of the tree that was in the middle of the lawn that we cut down this winter.

We then went shopping for Tim's costume for Gavin's 30th birthday party tonight (he banned me from putting up a picture until after the party), came home and ate dinner, then went out to my parents house to visit the golden retriever puppies. The kids loved them and Mya was holding hers like a baby by the end of the night (and choking it a little, so we had to keep a close eye on her).

Needless to say, it was a pretty good day!
