Landscaping and a Birthday

I've been trying to write this post since Sunday, but you know Lax, Lax, Lax, blah, blah, blah.

Sunday was A2's 12th birthday!  We really didn't have a big celebration, just family, some presents and cake.  We gave him two Lacrosse goals so we can finally set up our field, and some sundry items.  He had a cold so he spent most of the day lounging.  It's hard being twelve.

We also did some low cost landscaping in the front of the house.  Every time spring comes I start lamenting that it looks like we just moved into the house.  We have no flowers, no trees, and a lack of shrubbery.  It's not really in our budget to do a whole lot right now so we decided to just work on one corner.  So in A2's honor we planted a crab-apple tree. 

We also planted two lilac bushes and some perennials.  I'm not really sure what they are, because even though I would like to be the person that adores digging in the dirt, knows about plants and spends time taking care of them, I can't quite muster the energy.  I save it all for complaining about why we don't have plants and shrubs.  That's just how I roll.

The best part is our free trellis made from a birch tree that fell over in a storm earlier this year.  We (G and kids) are going to plant climby plants.  I think its going to look good, and if it doesn't, I'll do something new next year.

Now onto some craft fair details...
