Saturday was the kind of weekend day I love. No
commitments and we can do as we please. So we lazed around until noon, made a leisurely lunch- well, I supervised while Chase did all the
cooking. (Clean-up is always harder than the actual meal preparation when
my enthusiastic husband is in the kitchen.)
Then, we went into town to
visit our second home, Home Depot. $200, a vehicle full of plants and
mulch later, and I believe we’re ready for spring. Since
Dara thinks it’s her mission in life to destroy and eat my favorite
plants, I decided to try my new calamondin in a pot on our newly
screened porch. Have you ever heard of a calamondin tree? Probably not.
They’re sometimes called ornamental orange trees or some nonsense like
that. They’re actually very tart and perfect to squeeze into sweet tea.
In a couple months I should have some ripe- come join me for a glass!
Back
to my day. Chase wanted to get a hair cut, so he volunteered me to
entertain the boys. We strolled through Petsmart and had a knock-down
drag-out fight over which cat toys we were going to purchase for our
non-existent cat. The answer was none. But I had to do the walk of shame
out of the store holding two hysterically wailing children.
The boys are very into bowling now. Well, they like to set up the bowling pigeons and chuck the ball as hard as they can at them. Pigeons are bowling pins- I've corrected Cayden three times, but now we just gave up and call them pigeons. Poor Dara was torn between dodging the bowling ball and the excitement of chaos.
So that was part of my weekend. We went on the boat yesterday and my sunscreen application was sadly lacking. Today I'm various shades of red and really feeling it. And what Monday would be complete without a disaster? Poor little Cayden woke up and promptly threw up all over himself, his bed, the carpet on the way to the bathroom, and, of course, on me. On that pleasant note, have a wonderful week!
With Love,
Susanne
