Amy's 'momentary trouble'

What a glorious day! We should have gotten up sooner, but OH was it nice to sleep in! It wasn’t extremely late, as we got up at 8:00am, but we did have to rush around, get the kids ready and then drop them off for their little adventure. We had asked a friend to come over and till our little garden plot and we just made it back as he was backing the tiller off his trailer. His tiller was small enough to our garden area, but big enough to make it cumbersome to maneuver. We prevailed and finished that task in fairly short order.

However, we haven’t planted anything yet. That’s on tomorrow’s list because Brittany wants to help plant the garden and I am certain that Hope will be in there as well. Vinny, I’m sure will make himself scarce and we will try to encourage Trevor to help as he can get extra science points for helping. You’ve gotta love extra credit work!! We also took the time to go to the Faire on the Square and enjoyed the beautiful weather as well as some good food. We didn’t buy any craft items either just spent our money on the food. We also got some much needed household projects done.

At the faire, we each had an Oak Smoked Steak Sandwich, a soda and shared a strawberry topped funnel cake. After we returned home, we watered the plants around the house and spread some grass seed. We have an area in the back yard which is particularly hard to grow grass on because it’s shady all of the time, so we bought some grass seed that’s supposed to do better in shady areas, we’ll see how well it works.

Then we cleaned the house. We vacuumed, did some laundry, cleaned the bathroom, and threw some things away that the kids don’t know about. We even started putting the screens on some of the windows. Last night I spoke at our women’s campout. I thought I sounded like a dork, but lots of the women thought I did a great job. Some think I should be a stand up comic! I am so funny sometimes I even crack myself up :D (and am humble enough to tell myself that I just am so funny!) I intended to be home by 9:00pm but missed that mark by an hour. I guess I was having too much fun.

Amy & I both mentioned to each other that it’s been strange being around home and not one of the kids being here. We’ve gone to hotels just the two of us, but it’s been a VERY long time where it’s been just us two at home. I know we have the dog, but that doesn’t really count. It really has been a nice day; some work, some recreation and time spent together, laughing, teasing and holding hands while walking the square.
