Weekend Roundup

Okay, yesterday was just perfect. Perfect. Spring had sprung. I got to do a whole lotta sitting in my swing~reading and watching my little servants precious little children clean up the yard. Our yard has been through a long hard winter and yesterday was perfect to begin spring cleaning in it. Tyler pruned our blueberry and blackberry bushes. Mark and Matt worked on the rabbit hutch. The men also laid down tarp to kill the grass on our garden plot. This helps when Mark plows the garden~he doesn't have to plow through the thick grass. We were outside most of the day and it was wonderful. Then we had a yummy supper of chicken potpie and then movie night. It may sound boring to you, but it was wonderful to all be at home at the same time and to have such a beautiful day to enjoy together.


And then we woke up. Oh, we are all still all together, but it is cold and rainy outside. So cold. And wet. The absolute complete opposite of yesterday. But, cold rainy days make for good naps so I was sure to take one after church. It was really the only thing to do. My dad always told me to do the right thing no matter what everyone else was doing. So I had to do it.


Really.


I am about to squelch all my children's fun, and possibly even all the fun in their whole lives (yes, my daughter actually says stuff like this~I just don't know where she gets her drama from?), because I am about to call them in for Clean-Up Duty. We aren't having church tonight which means they can get their rooms and zones cleaned up TONIGHT which means there is the possibility we might start school ON TIME on MONDAY MORNING. I know it sounds like an impossible dream, but I am holding on to hope.


Abbie just yelled and said the cat has thrown up in her room. Duty calls.


Did any of you have a great Saturday also?
