Spring Cleaning

All right people. It was 80 degrees hot yesterday. #lovinit! Friday afternoon Husband came home and we headed out to "The Orange Store" *Home Depot* which obviously is the cousin of "The Red Store." *Target* So anyway, the kids were not excited about the fact that it was "a grown up toy store" but we picked up our new lawn mower and rug and they are awesome! We also bought some tulips because I normally get some for Valentine's Day, it's our little tradition but Husband couldn't find any in February.

We also got 12 bags of mulch and got our flowerbeds all cleaned out and tidy. Our city has two free lawn waste weeks in the spring, and today is our last pick up before we pay $5 a bag so we made good use of the good weather! It probably seems so lame to say this, but my yard really makes me happy right now.

The porch project took much much longer than I anticipated. The rubber on the bottom of our old rug had degraded and was all stuck to our floor. But now it is super clean and looks great! I am so excited to be rid of the winter grime and gear! This is just my favorite room in the house with the sun and the breeze and the comfy chairs. It's wonderful.

This is all the positive part of my weekend. The #reallife part of my weekend was that my kids were fairly crabby and overtired all weekend. So much so that we didn't even pretend to bring M to Palm Sunday and she just got checked into babysitting when we arrived at the church. I have zero shame in this. Babysitting rocks and I am glad it's an option on those days where you know it isn't going to go well! 

And now it's Monday bringing all the Monday things, which mostly just means the typical everyday-ness of it all. Fine by me!
