June 4 - June 10

We had such a busy week! Everyday we were doing something big!
* Scott is still working on fencing in the back yard. It's a slow process when you do it by yourself, but he's really coming along with it. It looks nice, too. We're also working on tearing out some bushes and weeds. The yard is finally becoming what we want it to be!
*My clematis vines are blooming beautifully! I was really surprised, considering they were transplanted from Scott's mom's house last spring. I really didn't think they would take so quickly!
* Joshua and I did a lot with our playgroup this week, too! We did our weekly walk in South Park, and went to 2 playgroups. At one we made paper bag puppets, and the other we used sponges to paint. MESSY!! But lots of fun. We took Elli with us to the puppet playgroup, and she did so great! I think she loved watching the kids running around.
* Our bird feeders are getting a HUGE workout now that the birds know they are there! We have morning doves, grackles, chickadees, cardinals, and a woodpecker. The feeders are positioned so we can see them all from the living room window. One is almost up against the glass, and the cats LOVE that one. Once the birds figured out the cats can't get to them through the window, they started using it a little more often.
* On Saturday morning we went down to the South Side fountains again. This time we hosted a playgroup there. About 10 moms showed up with their kids, and we all had a great time. Afterwards, Scott and I took Joshua to the Pretzel Shop for lunch, and walked down Carson to the 18th Street entrance to the River Walk Park. (That is where we parked.) It was a nice few hours.
* Of course we watched Elli and Gregg this week as well. Busy busy busy!
