Random week

Last week was filled with many adventures, just not too far from home...

Instead of our traditional Friday night homemade pizza night, we decided to go get World Pies and take them to the park in downtown Issaquah. It was a beautiful evening so after pizza and park, we walked down the road to good ol XXXRootbeer and shared floats.

Later in the week we got really excited about the sunny weather and got Bex a new swim suit. I think we may have jumped the gun because it promptly turned grey and cold. Geeze, how dare I expect it to be sunny and warm in June!

I think that being indoors too long may have caused a little case of cabin fever because Beckham decided to get into the church bag that his sister pulled out of the closet and use the markers to color all over the walls, doors, and floor in the entry way. Luckily it was all washable and cleaned up easily. And really really lucky that he wasn't able to open the permanent Sharpie marker that he found in there. I know he tried because it was on the floor right next to all of the other opened markers! I don't think it was a coincidence that he was wearing his lucky screwball sweatshirt either- I think he knows!

And, to round out last week, we took a nice little family trip to Home Depot to get lots and lots of bark mulch. We are working hard to get our yard under control; pulling weeds, fertilizing grass, getting rid of moss, eventually making it all look really pretty with some new bark! We are new at this whole yard thing coming from apartment living and all. I didn't think that I would ever like gardening or yard work but I think it's growing on me. I have big dreams of starting an organic vegetable garden, planting fresh herbs, and potting many many pretty flowers just like my mom. For now though, I think I will try and keep my African Violet alive in my kitchen window and work on the weeds. Baby steps...
