fun is good too

So it's Monday and i am feeling guilty, but not guilty for the level of things accomplished this weekend.
On Sunday we went to the children's museum and took a family nap. I did not dig in the driveway. I did however rearrange the pile of ex-driveway dirt. The slope from our fence line, to the grass level in the park, is quickly becoming an embankment. Don't worry now i am only dumping dirt on our side of the property line. Eventually we want a gate that goes from our back yard to the park. In order for that to be a reality we needed an embankment with steps instead of very steep slope. I have a large amount of dirt that needs a place to go, so an embankment i am building. Eric worked on the gate project by digging and hacking away at the stump that is exactly where we would like to put the gate. I also hacked at the very stubborn vine growing on the fence. I cleared it off the whole fence line and sprayed it for a 4th time with vegetation killer. The darn vine just won't go away. We bought some privacy fabric that we are going to put on the fence. I just have to get rid of that vine before we put it on. A simple project that so far, has been the hardest one.
On Sat we went to the liberty lake yard sale. The girls made a killing. We stopped by one place that was "fill a garbage bag for a dollar". They filled it with two castles, barbie stuff, a carriage, books, and some clothes. They also got a VCR for $5 (their old one was on it's last legs), some Disney movies for 25 cents, and a little tike's beauty salon for $10. Between all of their yard sale shopping and the "super why" party at Toys R Us earlier that day, they crashed for a good long nap. Meanwhile I tried to figure out, how to incorporate their new toys into the playroom.
Girls having fun and family nap taking. That was a good weekend. Maybe not as productive as it could have been, but it was fun. Fun is very important.
