This morning was a busy morning. We decided it was the day to put up the pool. And, I wanted to get flowers into my pots that I put out in the back yard. In order for us to put up the pool the wood pile has to be moved up to the top of the hill.

So, Michael started on that while the kids and I went to Wal-mart to get gardening gloves for them. We got a few other things while we were there and then I brought them home to help their daddy.

I went up to the plant tent and bought some flowers. When I got back home I realized I did not have enough flowers and my gardening gloves were missing. So, back to Wal-mart I went.

When I got home the kids and Michael were just about finished with the wood pile. They had found a family of mice living in the wood pile. Well, I should say they found the babies. They put them in a different place and hopefully their mother found them. Their eyes were still closed. They were kind of cute, but cuter now that they are not so close to my house.

I spent a couple hours getting my flowers in to pots. Michaela helped me. It turns out when I went and got more flowers, I bought too many. But, I noticed a planter up on the top shelf in the garage that I can put the extras in. Problem is, I'm out of potting soil, so I'll have to go get some more of that.

This afternoon the kids and I just hung out around the house. It was really hot this morning and the humidity zapped us, especially Caleb and me. He and I both fell asleep for a little while this afternoon.

Tonight we had grilled pork chops, cheesy potatoes, corn and applesauce for supper. I marinated the chops in Italian dressing before putting them on the grill. They turned out really good. I'm pretty proud of myself.

This evening the kids and I watched Revenge of the Sith. Now my kids have seen all of the Star Wars movies. I enjoyed that time with them. I did not get much laundry done, but I can do it tomorrow.
