Yard Work
Within a day, we were back to this:
I actually trimmed my rosebushes the weekend before THE BIG SNOW. A few days after the snow melted, it was so warm and dry outside, that I took my laptop out to the backyard and worked while the kids played. It felt like the beginning of a long and happy summer outside. All three of my kids are mobile and can play in my yard without danger of eating leaves and grass and bugs and ant spray–except when they fall face-first into it of course. That can’t be helped.
The boys were not thrilled to be cooped up in this fence outside. Even assigning Anna Kathryn to throw the balls back inside the fence as fast as they threw them out didn’t help. Oh, well. It seemed better than putting them in their cribs with toys so I could get those rose bushes trimmed. I just love those shots of me in my oversized sweatshirt looking about 8 months pregnant. I suppose I could have edited me out of those shots.
I guess John-the-photographer figures that if he has to see me in his front yard looking like that, the rest of the world might as well too. Hehe. Not funny.
