06/30/2005 Archived Entry: "yard work"

Yard work would be the predominant activity here at the abode. Yesterday we trimmed the front yard tree and the bushes on the side and I mowed the back yard. Today I mowed the front yard and raked like I've never raked before. Chris moved the extreme leaf pile into the green can and then edged the back yard. So much yard work to do and yet it has to be done a little at a time since our cans only hold so much. The trash was picked up today but we've already re-filled the yard waste can so we can't do any work until next Thursday at the earliest. While I was out raking this morning, I had both kids with me. I put Daisy in her exersaucer in the shade and Tabitha entertained us by playing with her jump rope and hula hoop.

Tabitha learned lower case z in cursive today and that puts her just one letter away from knowing the entire lower case alphabet. She pulled out my teacher's manual today and was reading it for the heck of it. She does love her cursive. Math was beyond easy today as it dealt with counting nickels and Tabitha knows all her money. She had a word find in her spelling and one of the words was left out. Tabitha, Chris and myself all looked for it and it simply wasn't there which is odd.

Tabitha went out this afternoon with my mil. They went to see the new Herbie movie. Chris and I kicked back with our chips, salsa and guacamole and played on the computer together. Now he's playing a baseball game in the living room while watching Daisy and I'm taking care of my hair while we wait for Tabitha to come home.

Forgive the drab posts, I'm feeling uninspired and I every time I sit down to type, I get interrupted and then just close the whole thing.
