a Perfect Saturday

Our home is older and the original owners kept the yard amazingly perfect and beautiful. Some of our neighbors still remember them and think we're lazy cause we can't keep up with all the work the. yard requires. Chris and I swore to eachother that we would do the yard work on Saturday
Chris and I slept in til almost nine, a very important goal also sworn on. I figured that it's never too late to start the yard work... Umm... I was wrong in this assumption. In Arizona any outside activity starting after 6am is a mistake and should be abandoned immediately, but we hung in there til 12pm. We ditched the side yard having given up on that forest of despair a long time ago. We got all the important stuff done though.

Chris went and got his hair cut (THANK GOODNESS!) and I took the coldest shower ever. After lunch we did our bi-monthly thrift store shopping trip. Cecily found ANOTHER care bear (Welcome to the family Birthday Bear!) and Jocelyn found a purse with a "j" on it. Leaving the Goodwill there was tall black man in the parking lot wearing a very purple suit. Like this.

Cecily said "Wow! He went to a purple party!"

When we got home Chris and I took a very nice nap and woke up to go play in the irrigation at the Nash residence. We put the kids to bed at 8pm and we had the evening together playing rummy cube, watching Anne of Green Gables (which is surprisingly off from the book) and eating ice cream (ROCKY ROAD!)

ps: We fought the carne asada fries battle and WON! Usually they win and filburtos gets 6 bucks and we get a little fatter.
