Tuesday: more gardening

Today Cheryl and Grandma H came over to my house.  Isaac and Grandma had a grand ol' time while Cheryl and I did some gardening.  We moved the flowers from the mailbox to the side of the house.  (I'm trying to get rid of some flower beds.)  We cleaned up the flowers and bushes in the front.

As we were slowly working our way around the house, we got to a nice looking yellow bush.  I was going to start trimming it down as it was way overgrown, but upon investigation noticed that everything inside the bush was dead.  So I decided we'd remove it.  As we did so we noticed that it really didn't seem healthy...the leaves had weird spots, the branches had something white on them, and there was a bulbous growth.  So we think it was a good decision, even if it was a little annoying to remove.  Well, we didn't remove all of it.  There is still a chunk, completely pared down.  The plan is to give it a year and see if it starts to grow again.  We can always take it out later.

I was going to take before and after pictures, but didn't take any before ones so I didn't take any after ones either.  Maybe next time. :)

Flurry is still good at telling us when it is time for bed.  I had wanted to trim up one more side, but she wasn't moving.  So I went to bed.

Saturday: nostrils, take 2

According to the poll, 88% (15 people) breathe out of both nostrils

According to the internet, 85% of people breathe out of one nostril.

There is a discrepancy.  But a few people I've talked to are positive they breathe out of both nostrils.  If this stands true for everyone it means that for once I'm not weird; most of you are.

Friday: 21 weeks, couch

Here's the bib in the mouth that I was talking about yesterday.

And the 21 week picture.  We finally managed to get a smile.

Our new couch came today!  We were going to put it against the wall, but it looked terrible.  This way looks much better.

Thursday: laughter

As I was changing Isaac's diaper this morning, he stuffed his bib in his mouth.  While this is becoming a normal occurrence, it struck me as extra funny and I laughed.  Isaac laughed back at me.


I also helped Cheryl with some flowers and weeds today.  It was a beautiful day.  Warm with a slight wind.  And Grandma watched Isaac so that we could actually get some work done.  It was awesome.  I'll admit, I my favorite part is pulling weeds when there are a lot of weeds to pull.  I like seeing the difference between the beginning and the end.

Wednesday: mall

Today Isaac and I met some friends at the mall.  I had a great time...it was fun to catch up and watch the kids and just hang out.  But I probably should have left a little earlier.  I was exhausted by the time we got home.  Luckily, Isaac felt the same way.  He was up for just a short while longer and then we both took a very nice nap.

Tuesday: a problem

Do you see our problem?  (And only having blurry pictures isn't the problem.)

Apparently I didn't do wash fast enough this cycle, so the only bibs left were gigantic or not Tuesday.  I wondered how long it would take until I had to put the wrong day on, but I thought it would be longer.

My plants are growing.  The left two are beans and the right one is lettuce.
