Spring Yard Work

It was such a beautiful day today. High 60's - low 70's. I really wanted to get some flowers in around the yard. I had to go to Lowes, Home Depot, Wal*Mart, and Costco to find all the flowers I wanted. I thought I had plenty to come home with. After planting the flowers I had - I still have over half of the space available for flowers to fill. I think I will go find some colorful ground cover type plants and plant those everywhere else. Here is what I have so far.



I would tell you the names of the flowers I planted - but I honestly don't have a clue what kind they are. I just liked them. I know I did get some daisies because they are my favorite, and I planted a lily - which I am not sure if it will grow because after I got it planted I read on the little plastic insert that comes in the pots that tells you how to space them, their height, etc, that it needed to be in shade. Well, as you can see it is right smack dab in the middle in the back and will be in full sun all day - so we'll see how that goes. I am not a green thumb at all, but here is my attempt at it.

Hunter and his Manly Appetite

So, Hunter is a blackhole right now with food. He can eat, and eat and eat - and yet he is still as skinny as a bean pole! Here is his breakfast today - a sausage, egg, cheese, and hashbrown sandwich (ya, I know - what the heck are hashbrowns doing on a sandwich??) Well, that's Hunter for you.

Get ready for EEWWwwwwwwwww!!

This is old information, but I wanted to get it up so I can GROSS ALL OF YOU OUT!

Hunter's Tooth - Part 2

Tonight Hunter wanted to play the Wii. He asked me - and since it is Sunday, and the Wii isn't considered an appropriate Sunday activity - I told him *NO*. He accepted that answer and went on his merry way. A few minutes later, Carl is asking me where the thread is. I'm thinking - what in the heck does he need thread for? Then - ready for it.....? Carl is about to pull Hunter's tooth out. Hunter went to Dad to see if he would allow him to play the Wii - after I had told him no. Carl's answer...."If you let me pull out your tooth." I cannot believe it. So, Carl hooked up the tooth to a piece of string and walla. Tooth is out and the Toothfairy will be coming tonight. Oh, my. What a kid won't do to play the Wii.

Hunter's tooth

So, Hunter has a loose front tooth. He has been playing with it for days. He can turn it, wiggle it, you name it - he has done it. Carl and I want so badly to just yank the darn thing out, but Hunter gets all teary-eyed if we even mention pulling it out. So, we let it stay. We're hoping this tooth will be out in the next few days, but who knows - it could hang on for a few more weeks. Here is a picture of his smile with the tooth in its somewhat normal position, and when it has been turned. It makes my stomach twitch when he turns it like that. Eewwww!

Funny picture

I just had to put this on here. It just cracks me up!
