The Omnibus: Recapping the Week

The last few days have been a blur...here's a quick recap in pictures.

On Wednesday, we headed to the Cardinals game to celebrate the end of the school year.

You can't go wrong with Cracker Jack.

Christian spent some time studying his Cardinal's history. First Enos Slaughter.

Then Dizzy Dean.

Can't forget The Wiz.

Thursday, shortly after I came home from work, Christian came to find me. Very earnestly, he said "Mommy, Daddy needs your help getting our fort inside the house because it's too big to fit through the door. But don't worry, he has a plan."

Oh, my.

We've been building forts for the boys in the living room. They love them. So Darren thought it would be fun to build a more permanent fort structure for the kiddos.

It's HUGE.

But, they love it. It lives in the basement, and has already been filled with stuffed animals, pillows, sleeping bags, a rocking chair, stability ball, and who knows what else. My guess is that the covering will change, depending on what the boys are up to. For now, it's just a sheet.

Last night, we went for dinner with Mom to Hacienda. Yum.

Today was a day of work around the house and yard. Mom gave us several hydrangeas, and I needed to get them into the ground. Normally, digging a hole in the dirt wouldn't be that difficult, but in our yard, everywhere you put the shovel, you're bound to hit roots, roots, and more roots from all the ivy that is there. I'm pretty sure I'll be pulling ivy for the rest of my life. But it has to go.
