Overworked and Underpaid

** I realized that those who don't have a wide screen monitor couldn't quite see the whole picture (click on it to see bigger). Jed also pointed out that if you look at it in reverse or order it's also a demonstration on evolution!


Thought this was hilarious!

We spent Monday evening planting our grass seed. Yippy Skippy! I can hardly stand the wait...I check every morning to see if we have any seedlings. I know it's only been 4 days, but still... We bought the seed from a sod farm and they told us everything we need to do to have grass. We'll see if it works, but I'm to the point that ANYTHING green is fantastic (weeds included).

Last week we had the curbing done. It turned out exactly how I wanted it. I think I drove the curbing guy crazy when I asked him go back to Provo to get the brown color. What can I say, I changed my mind during the night and he showed up at 7:30 am. Can't wait for some non-windy days when I can finally plant some plants. I layed down the black weed block so that we wouldn't spread seed in the flowerbeds. That lasted about a day before the wind messed it all up. It's kind of ugly in the pictures, sorry. It's also got some nice water/dirt spots on it (we didn't polka a dot it on purpose) from the sprinklers.

And just a couple funny things Lucas has said recently...

I over heard him tell Jed while we were out in the yard, "Dad, you make me nervous".

I was trying to get ready to take the boys over to Tawn's yesterday and he was acting naughty so I told him "I can't take naughty boy's to Aunt Tawnya's house". He responds "Mom, don't be a girl!" Excuse me!
