Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires*

The lawn is complete. And Oh My Gawd is it gorgeous! Lush green grass, flower beds bordered with charcoal-colored stone walls. Trees and shrubs and rose bushes! It’s fantastic. I couldn’t be happier.
Plus I got a fantastic tan!
And burned off five pounds of fat I am sure.
Jack and I are just so happy to have our own yard. We lived in a condo for three years and now we have this house of our own and it was so much fun to do all the landscaping together. Jack and I have never really done any intense project together. Usually V is my partner in crime when it comes to all of my projects. She helped me paint nearly the entire interior of our house, not to mention painting the condo when we moved out. She is my go-to girl for all things home improvement. Usually because someone needs to watch the kids, and that someone is usually Jack (by his preference, he is not a fan of painting). It was really awesome to do the yard together, just the two of us. Plus we got in little scraps of alone time at the end of the days, because the kids were at my mum’s place.
Tomorrow is our big reward for all the hard work. Jack, the kids, K, and myself are going to the Calgary Stampede together for the afternoon. Our kids have never been to it, and Jack and I haven’t gone in about four or five years, so we are looking forward to it. Then in the evening Jack is taking the kids home and K and I (along with V and a couple of other people) are going to the Our Lady Peace concert!
I am hoping that I can get together with H at some point soon, and I was supposed to be going on a date with O yesterday but had to cancel due to the landscaping. So I need to make that up to her as soon as possible. On one hand my desire for lots of wonderful people in my life is coming true, on the other trying to fit them all into the schedule is becoming complicated. Ah well, you all know how bored I would be if my life ever became simple and easy
Now I need to go wrangle the rugrats, since we are taking them to watch the fireworks tonight.
YeeHaw!
