So Goober made a friend... and was really happy about it... then the friend disappeared. I'm guessing to lack of paying rent on her parents part, but honestly? Who knows? All I know is that she isn't in the house she used to be in.Well, yesterday Goober came home from school and announced that he made another friend with a girl in his class (the old friend was in he class too, but disappeared from there as well). He even remembered the new friends house number. Anyhow, I told him that I had to talk to her parents before I allowed him to go see if she could play (call me protective, but I ALWAYS want parents phone numbers and for them to have mine in case something bad happens).
Unfortunately the Energizer Bunny has been low on batteries lately due to having a fever :( Poor little dude. So I made Goober wait for me to put him down for another nap, he was vegging in front of a DVD looking like he was sleeping except his eyes were open. And I walked with Goober and Missy to the new "Friend"s house. Her mom is nice and she has two younger siblings... a younger brother (who will end up being the same grade as Missy) and a little sister who is just older than EB. Just the opposite of Goober.
They enjoyed playing yesterday and most of the day today. The kids played most of the morning in the backyard with Gma and Gpa J while they were here helping us while we moved dirt. Loads and Loads of DIRT. Dad was a doll and offered to help us out by getting a little tractor to use. We had a full truckload of dirt in front of our house waiting to be moved and our wheelbarrow is weak on one side and tips relatively easily so it was going REALLY slowly. Anyhow, we got almost all of the dirt moved thanks to dad... I really don't think it would have happened before snowfall without him. THANKS DAD!!!! (Aren't my parents AWESOME!?!?!)
Now, you may wonder why we needed so much dirt? Mainly because the noobs that owned our house before us didn't level the yard before they planted and put in the sprinkler system. So all of the water from ours and the neighbors sprinklers would gather in a big puddle in the middle of our backyard while other areas of lawn died due to not getting watered enough. So a large portion of our backyard is now covered in dirt. Wooohooo so fun. It won't have grass till spring. So this should be entertaining to try to keep the kids out of the mud all winter.
On a less overwhelming note: we got my garden area all ready! So now, come spring I can plant some veggies and yummy stuff. I have never owned a vegetable garden in my life... so we will see how that works. Worst thing that could happen? I hate it and plant bushes where the garden spot is :)Anyhow, that has been my life the past couple of days.
