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...
Happy Belated A2! AND Happy Mother's Day to you (a wee bit late)!
xoxo,
L
