third time

is the charm. i have typed two other entries before this one that never made it onto the blog. the first one was lost when blogger was having a publishing problem and the second i never finished and ended up closing by accident. not a lot has been happening in our home these past few weeks. i have been cleaning and relaxing and organizing and most importantly hanging out with my little girlies...who are hysterically funny and truly a wonderful joy! my last two attempts at posts dealt with the "adventures" of working from home. today, i don't feel as excited to post about that, although i do love getting my one day a week to work at my own pace, wearing whatever i want and in my own personal space.

friday evening was awesome. we went out to dinner (which we rarely do) and my girlies were so excited..eventhough we just went to applebees. they enjoyed the french fries and of course coloring on their placemats. it was warm out, so when we returned home they wanted to play out back with their water table. they played for a bit, but when carl went around front to mow the lawn, the girls wanted to watch him. we hung out on the porch watching all of the people walk by (one of the major reasons why i LOVE my neighborhood). every dog that walked by alie yelled out that she liked. i think the various dog owners had a chuckle. the girls also "decorated" our porch with azelas they pulled from the bushes in front of the house. when we finally all went inside (way after bedtime...still not used to the spring sun staying out later) my ladies were in need of a great big bath!

our lawn mower died while carl was mowing out front, so we purchased a brand new lawnmower on saturday. i guess my new bedroom fan will have to wait until next month ;)
