Busy weekend

As you can see, I had a little help tonight with the blog posting.  She felt as though I chose the wrong picture on Friday and wanted to ensure that the pictures showed her in the most flattering light.  She also has been helping me with spelling and a little grammar.  She doesn't really enunciate well, but she is amazing on the keyboard!

So, I know that all of you are wondering what we could have possibly did this weekend that kept me from blogging yesterday.  Well, I have gotten up early both Saturday and today to get stuff done.  I had to get up early yesterday to clean the pool, get gas in Kacey's car, get it washed, get the oil changed, and fill our bike tires with air.  Now that we have the bikes, I thought we should actually ride them.  So when i got home from all of this, we put the bike carriage behind my bike and went on a 1.5 hour bike ride with Maddie.  I thought it would be fun, but for someone who hasn't exercised in a long time, it was more of a tortured roll through the town.  I blamed it on towing Maddie, but its really just me being out of shape.  At this age she can't defend herself so it is just easier to shift blame onto her.

So finally, Maddie was frustrated with the lack of grass in our yard.  She has never played in the grass, so she felt it was time to change that.  I tried to explain to her that the landscapers STILL weren't done and it would be another week or so.  She decided to take control and change things herself.  The next thing I knew, as you can see below, she was working the land like a pro.  I was a little scared, but she did some pretty good work.  Plus, she is a lot cheaper!
