LIFE AT THE MURDYS!!: WHEW!!!!!!!

It was a beautiful weekend, perfect for doing yard work!! So I decided to take on a project that I have been meaning to do-cut off 8 foot of branches on our 3 huge pine trees. So I gassed up the chainsaw and let her rip!! It was a bit harder then I thought, especially when you have a 2 year old who instead of napping-decides he is going to watch Mommy-and then dart out in to the road for a "race"!! Well I got all the branches cut on Saturday-oh yeah-and cut all the grass, did 2 hours of work, vacuumed out my car, vacuumed the house, tried to build a little tree house, and took Logan to the store to get him a special treat for helping me so much. I feel like superwomen-for everything I accomplished that day!! And then Justin and I went out for drinks to celebrate my friend's 30th birthday. I was so exhausted by the end of the day- I don't even remember laying down to sleep-(but that could have also been the drinks too:)!!

Then on Sunday, Alex was driving me crazy!! He just was into everything, and when he was outside, if I didn't keep an eye on him every second, he was out in the road. Why would he want to play in our ACRE OF LAND when he could run in street???!!! Then when he took a nap-I went to a local craft fair just to look and take a break before I had to come back home and finish cleaning up the mess I had made the day before. But to my wonderful surprise-my awesome neighbors had cut up all the branches and loaded them into a trailer and took them up to my neighbors bonfire pile. So all we had to do was rake up the leftover stuff. This is where everyone helped-even Alex. He wanted to wear my gloves and was picking up sticks and putting them in the trailer. We then had a big bonfire and relaxed some. After I put Alex to bed I took a much needed soak in the hot tub and now after I write this I will crash in bed!!
