Slept until 9:30a! Got up and kids already ate breakfast, got dressed and were outside playing. Lesa warmed up breakfast burritos she made me and got me some coffee. I played on the computer until lunch and finally decided I’d better get something done. Lesa has plants she wants to get in the ground so I decided to till the old garden up. It’s been six years, ever since the kids came, since we’ve been able to have a garden. It took me all afternoon to go from grass-covered ground to a tilled garden. All the kids got to make a pass or two with the tiller, Bruce really enjoyed, he took several turns at the helm, and he liked watching the tines churn the soil, he was putting clumps of dirt and grass in my path and enjoyed watching them disappear. My hands and back are trashed. After supper the kids watched a movie and I took a small cat nap. The boys and Ashley made a tent in the boys’ room and they’re all spending the night in it. Ashley went to bed at the boys bedtime and Lesa and I let Dillan stay up late to watch Thunderball – he’s been wanting to watch a James Bond movie and so we let him – proud to introduce another generation to James Bond flicks, I watched them as a kid and growing up and hope he gets to too. A couple of hours in Ashley got up and went to her own bed, said she was too scrunched up and couldn’t stretch her legs. Had a good day, got some work done, kids got to play, made memories with the tiller, mission accomplished.
