Grass In The Backyard

September 13th, 2008 by melissa

My first thought was too bad Tracey, our doggie, isn’t around to enjoy the grass-she would have loved it. Bret got up early and got sod. Justin and I got to play and read books as Nicole slept in. When daddy got back with the grass, Justin wanted to watch and help. Justin decided he wanted to wear his pj’s all day while Nicole wore her Dorothy the Dinasour outfit. People probably couldn’t believe how we dress out kids. We played all morning long at home and had a great time. After the grass was done, the kids took pieces and lined them up in the backyard.

We played at home most of the day as daddy is on call. The kids were busy helping me organize the play room. They played with toys they hadn’t seen in a while, cars, etc. They also played upstairs a bit. The ball popper has made its way into the tent. We read a ton of books up there as well. Came down and watched TV. I turned on some Barney video with Mother Goose and they said they didn’t like it. I was working on Nicole’s tutu a bit too. Bret realized a sprinkler was broken so he worked on that a bit. And we all played on the greenbelt while the glue dried. We brought balls, golf clubs, scooters, bikes out. The kids had a great time. We decided to get some dinner to go then go to Hicks Canyon Park. The kids had so much fun at the park, climbing wherever they could. They played in the sand for a while as well. We came home and the kids were pretty mellow. We read a lot of books and they went to sleep pretty fast.
