Siblings

Lex and Eve were on the same wavelength
all weekend… unfortunately it was the cranky one! Alan kept
saying, “they’re definitely siblings!”

markers

On the bright side
though, we finally got the whole yard raked!! I know, most
people do that in the fall, but we’re new here and have kids
and and and …. don’t judge me!! :) Just kidding. The back
yard was a huge mess of pine needles and garbage. Yep, garbage!
We found beer bottles, a water bottle holder for a bike, a bike
lock, a door jam, and so much more. Now all of that is gone and
we just have a big dirt spot in the back yard. Sooo much nicer
though :) Next step is to get some grass growing and then we’ll
be all set.

The veggie
garden

Speaking of grass,
Alan bought a lawn mower (electric, he’s very excited) and so
we’ll be mowing the lawn this week too. Oh the exiting news
from my house, huh?? It will be good to mow it, but I’ll kind
of miss the lovely purple and white violets and yellow
dandelions we currently have growing. Our front yard is quite
nice these days.

Our
house

After we get the
lawn under control, the next step is weeding and figuring out
the flower gardens. We are very lucky that the previous owners
planted such nice gardens and hopefully we’ll be able to keep
the alive.

neighbors (sorry you can’t see their
faces)

Have I mentioned
lately that I love our house??

PS. I added another video to YouTube. Look over
at the sidebar and click on the top video. Alan took it when
his parents and their friend Linda where here last weekend.
Nothing exciting, just cute.

Uncle Barney’s shower?

Lex was playing in our downstairs shower
today (the one we keep the laundry baskets in :) ) A usual, he
was talking the whole time and the conversation went something
like:

LEX: “Want to get in
shower. Lex in shower. Sit in theshower. (meanwhile he has
tucked himself into the tub, under our laundry baskets) Lex in
the shower. Uncle Barney’s shower. Lex in Uncle Barney’s
shower.”

ME: “Uncle Barney’s
shower?”

LEX: “Yeah, Uncle Barney’s
shower!”

ME: “Ok”

LEX: (very serious and shaking his head) “That’s not Uncle
Barney’s shower. (happy again) That’s Lex’s shower!”

Where do kids come up with this
stuff? It’s been awhile since we’ve talked about B (shhhh….
don’t tell) and even longer since he’s showered here. Lex
cracks me up.
