Public Announcement...

I would like to make a public announcement....

I HAVE THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD!!!

Seriously, I LOVE this guy!!!

This past Friday night he took me out on a date that he planned (normally I do the planning because I love to be in charge... terrible I know... I am working on it!!! :) ).  He surprised me with tickets to the Dallas Symphony!  Now... I realllly love the symphony...lots.  

On a scale of 1 to 10 my love for the symphony is a 10.

Trav's love for the symphony is a low 1 or 2 (his own rating).

So the fact that he would buy us tickets to somewhere he would rather not go was such an act of love! LOVE HIM!  It did help however that we went out for Mexican right before so he had a nice full belly for the show! :)  AND he may or may not have slept through the first 1/2.  ;)

And to top off our weekend he worked on our back yard for me.  And when I say he worked... I mean he WORKED from 7 in the morning until bedtime.  Here's what he did...

He put together a swing-set for the kids, built a small deck for me to sit on while watching the kids (and also to sunbathe on! woohoo!) and built me two raised garden beds.  All in one day!  I am so proud of what a hard worker he is!   There still is a lot to be done in the back yard but I couldn't resist showing you a picture of what he's accomplished so far!  Have I mentioned that I LOVE my husband!?

On to other news...

This little guy is getting closer and closer to crawling.  His newest trick is to pull himself up onto his knees.

And this little girl has discovered that she loves "yemmins"

As for me... I've been loading up on Benadryl and Calamine Lotion because of this evil weed...

This plant has been my enemy ever since I can remember. In case you don't recognize it it's Poison Ivy.  Blah.  I'm not sure where I got it from...perhaps during our Sunday Easter egg hunt. Who knows.  It hunts me down.  Truly.  I am so allergic to it that if it's within 100 miles of me I have a reaction (at least it feels that way).


Alrighty... off to clean up the house before the husband gets home from a track meet!
Have a wonderful Friday everyone!
