Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

What a nice day! We dropped Keith off for a bike ride with the HBA guys this morning. They planned on doing a 60-70 mile ride! Fools I say! The boys and I came home and played outside all day. I cleaned out the garage. Didn't mean to do all I did, but I kept moving one thing and sweeping and then went to another and before I knew it I had a HUGE mess on my hands and HAD to clean it before I could think of putting it back. I got every little leaf out, every piece of dirt, I evicted so many spiders, it's not even funny! The garage is still full of crap, but it's a TON neater! I didn't mess with Keith's work bench. He's got tools all over it and I didn't feel like doing it. If he wants to find the tools, he can work on that some other day. I'm exhausted from all of that! The kids played across the street for quite a while. Salem is still very tried from camp, so he came in after a few hours to relax and watch some tv. Kaden was out for just as long as I was. The neighbor let his grass grow a bit long and he mowed it this morning leaving lots of grass clippings. Kaden has this thing with collecting them and making nests out of them. So he was over in their yard collecting all the clippings and putting it into a HUGE pile. Silly kids! Neighbor said he's gonna have Kaden come over every time so he doesn't have to rake them up. Not like he ever rakes it anyway. Keith came home after a few hours and I sent him and Salem to get a trap to put under the big pool. Wanted to get that set up since we're staying here and we can enjoy it. So that got set up tonight, found 2 holes though. One tiny one along the bottom and one in the top. Patched it up a bit tonight, will see how it holds, maybe need something stronger. Added the chemicals and should be good to go tomorrow!

Keith ended up riding 67 miles today! Add that to the 50 he rode yesterday in a road race and the 14 he rode with Salem yesterday when he got home! He's still moving and helping out! Salem looks a bit tired though!

We love the bunnies in our yard! They're fun to watch. The kids know to walk on the sidewalk if they are in our top yard and to not chase them. I think they've gotten too comfy as one has made a nest in the middle of our yard! Yup, darn middle! UGH! When we came home from NY there was a big bare spot in our yard with a hole. I thought squirrels as there was a nut laying in the spot. Seems babies are coming soon as today we walked out and the bare spot was covered in bunny fur! So we'll have to keep an eye on things. When Keith and I went out tonight, bunny was in that area and didn't run away too far as we walked by. I know we have a nice yard, lots of clovers to eat, peony's and lilies to hid in...but our neighbor kid is an animal killer and we like to play in our yard! We shall see how this pans out!

Tour is over...what are we going to watch on tv now?? Kinda sad Cadel Evans did not win the tour. Wish he had a better time trial yesterday...or Sastra has a worse one. It was an exciting tour though, lots of yellow jersey changing. Crazy crashes too, I hate seeing the replays, makes my cringe! I guess we can now catch up on all the episodes of Deadliest Catch we haven't watched. Clean up our DVR drive.

Kaden's elbow is looking better. Still gross and hole-y, but healing. Here's a pic. I didn't post the gross close up one, although I think if you click on it, you might be able to see it better. We've been bandaging it but letting it air out when he's just sitting around. It actually looks really good in that pic. Compared to the other day, yuck it was! It's not so red anymore and the rash around it is healing nicely.

I'm trying to get pictures out to everyone. It's been a long time since I put albums out to see. I always take SO many pictures and love to share them. I just need to sit down and get them out. I got a few albums out today. I'm hoping for a rainy day so the kids can stay inside and I can get more out! Alright, I've got another album with the pictures uploaded, need to go put quotes and maybe get it out still tonight.

Oh hey, Salem lost a tooth yesterday! He was sitting outside eating Doritos when he came inside and said "guess what just happened??" I guessed right! Number 10 for him!
