Spring, friends, flowers and stitches.

I love the spring. I get spring fever and become obsessed with spending time outside. This week I think we have spent at least 3 hours in the yard just enjoying our selves... every day.

I also love the bright flowers that bloom on our corner and the tulips in our round garden.

Allens birthday is on Saturday so I thought I would try to mow the lawn/ get a tan on Monday.  So that he could just enjoy being outside this weekend and not have to do so much yard work.  Well, I wore a tank top and some shorts, mowed the side yard strip, the top level of the yard and started down to the lower level of the front yard.  The grass was so long from recent spring showers, that I didn't see a sprinkler and ran it over.  It broke and shot back at my leg.  split it right open.  The kids were both sleeping and I couldn't get a hold of anyone to come stay with them.  So being the awesome mom that I am, I left them home alone and started on my way to the insta care.  Luckily my friend Mal was able to come up to my house and stay with the kids for me.  She got there like 2 minutes after I left.

Poor Mal, I didnt tell her why I was leaving and I didnt clean up the blood in the kitchen before.  So when she got there she was so confused and probably thinking I had been murdered and kidnapped. haha JK, she thought I cut myself in the kitchen but couldn't figure it out because there was no knife.
Anyhow... I went to insta-care and Shaleen sat with me while they stitched up my leg.  Gross.  

I came home to these two girls playing in the yard.  They are best buddies.  Oakley and her littler brother Owen have been getting babysat with my kids once a week.  They love to play together.  Karlee and Oaks are about 4 months apart and Zane and Owen are 2 weeks.  Best buds.

So, I only finished like a quarter of the lawn, and now Allen has to fix the sprinkler.  I guess I created more work.  Too bad.  I'm sure his birthday will still be a blast.
