Another weekend another story

Friday Chris and I were at a loss of what to do. We thought it would be fun to go to the drive in again but they didn't get a good combo of movies so we just ended up doing school again.

Saturday we spent a good couple hours weeding and mowing the lawn. It was becoming a freakin' jungle out there! Growing up with 4 older brothers I never had to mow the lawn or do any weeding. Plus I really can't stand the feel of dirt in my hands. Chris has been working every Saturday this month so things were a little out of control and I knew I needed to help him out with his "man work". So I pulled weeds till my legs felt like rubber and my hands were all cut up from the too small leather gloves. Chris taught me how to use our mower. It was the second time I ever mowed the lawn in my life! He got a kick out of it and sent a couple pictures to my mom who got a good laugh herself. I told Chris that only in Colorado will I help with yard work. It was a blissful 75 degrees, slightly cloudy with an amazing breeze. It was hot in the sun if that makes you feel better. But once I was done mowing I grabbed my jug of water and sat on the porch to cool off in the nice breeze. (If that doesn't convince you to move up here then I give up).

Here's some pictures of all the fruit growing on our trees. We missed getting pictures of our apricot tree because the birds attacked it. They tasted so good! So there's apples and peaches in the backyard. The purple plums are actually our neighbors tree but a branch is hanging over in our yard. And then on the side of the house we got what we think are plums, they taste like plums but they are red and not purple.

We wanted to do something fun to celebrate our last summer weekend but we couldn't think of anything except chick-fil-a and smash burger. We let the kids play at CFA and then Chris and I got the delicious oh so juicy Smash burger. Along the way we stopped and bought a double jogging stroller and a new toy for Fiona.

My new goal is to walk the girls to school everyday and pick them up. Cecily has morning kindergarten so that means 3 trips down to the school. And if I go the long way at least one of the trips I will be walking for than 3 miles a day. Which means exercise, and book listening time. Chris and I took the long walk home from the school yesterday and it was awesome! There's hills so we get a good work out and cool down.

Tomorrow is testing for the girls and then they start school on Wednesday. I couldn't be more excited. Cecily is the most excited. Every morning this past week she woke up ready to go to school but we had to keep telling her "next Wednesday Cecily".

HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
