A pictureless post

I apologize in advance for the lack of pictures in this post, because this afternoon was picture-worthy. I promise. The plan for today was simple - go to church. go to panera. come home. do taxes. do homework. get groceries. cook dinner. go to bed. BORING. Thankfully, after we got home from Panera, Todd decided to take the kids outside to play while he cleaned up the garage some. We've both been looking at the fire pit longingly... it is time to have a party. Beyond time to have a party. It's already April for cryin' out loud! The problem - weeds. Lots of them. ALLLLLL around the fire pit. I took this as my cue. We (meaning I) need to get on my hands and knees and start pulling those suckers. For some reason, I decided to procrastinate and weed the front (which I just did like 2 weeks ago, so it was way easy). Then I sprayed some round up here and there in the big natural areas. Then I decided I was already really dirty and needed to stop procrastinating, so I started on the back. After a solid hour I'd only done maybe a 2 foot square area... so sad. And then the soccer game started - Todd versus Brett. It was entertaining. Then Kate joined in - and that was really entertaining. Lots of laughter, lots of goals, a little coaching here and there. I even jumped in for a couple minutes. They played for a long time. Our neighbors came over and they played for a little bit too. Their 6 year old daughter even helped me pull weeds for a little while. Really. I might adopt her :) (kidding, obviously) Then Todd started working on the irrigation system and finding all of the little sprinkler heads that get buried during the winter months. Let's just say that there were some very wet children, a whole lot of screaming, and a lot of laughs! We had a super productive day, not doing anything that we planned on doing, but productive, and fun. Sorry, no pictures!
