Well anyone who knows me knows that my life revolves a series of lists. This weekend was the ultimate in marking things off my to do list. Grandma and Grandpa Church came to visit and we put them to work. While the girls worked on staining the deck (which may be the most tedious job in the world) the boys fixed my front porch, installed a disposal, got the lawn ready to plant and put up a dog kennel for Jake. It was a great weekend! We loved having the company and I loved marking some much needed items off my list. I have already started the list for GC for next summer's visit!
We are 3 weeks out from the big K5 and Brooke is getting really excited. I must say some days I just can't believe my little baby is going to kindergarten and then there are days like today when I can't wait. My morning was spent breaking up spats between Brooke and Jake, who knew a dog was like having another child. Someone should have clued me in!!!!! On the Jake note the "cute phase" is over and now we are in the "little shit" phase. After cleaning out a pee soaked kennel twice last week I was ready to send him back and I think after his 1 1/2 of barking last night Luke may be ready also. He is a LOT of work. I think this puppy was a good test that has confirmed that 1 baby was enough. I am thinking of seeing if we can get a two-for-one deal on getting the Humphreys boys fixed!
