weekend review

Chris took his test on Saturday. He passed. YaY! After his test, he decided that he wanted to help Brooks and me in the flower bed. Somehow we managed to convince him to do most of the work, and we just sat there and watched.

We still have one more shrub to plant, and we are going to put hosta around for a border. It doesn't look like we planted that much, but the plants are supposed to get a lot bigger. I got the idea for the layout from Better Homes and Gardens. We moved the hydrangea bushes to the backyard, since they are pink and don't really coordinate with everything else. OK, so these pictures don't look that spectacular, but we are happy with the work so far.

Before & After

After we finished with all of that stuff, we grilled burgers and fried pickles. I am so serious. We also played MarioBrothers on the NES. I totally won.

Sunday we went to church and then we went to eat lunch with our sunday school class. Fun times, fun people. Chris told redneck stories about guns and strip pits and fishing and such. We love our sunday school class. Everyone is really nice. (I found out that people actually read my blog, and for some reason I think that is really funny. My blog is just so random and full of run-on sentences. I just type about whatever is on my mind. So thanks to everyone that reads it.) Then I had to go to school for an online class orientation. We came home and I finally got to make an apple pie. Chris did the hard part, peeling and chopping the apples. Then while the pie baked, we made chicken tortilla soup. The pie is yummy, but not very pretty. I need to work on my dough-rolling skills. We made some pictures of Brooks with "the flashy box." Brooks did really well with the first few photos, then he started getting angry.
