this is the sort of shine I am going for.

another pallet of zoysia.  went to the store and bought 20 bags of top spoil to give the grass just a bit of dirt over our rocky soil.  I got two of those metal carts they have in the landscape dept of the big box store.  I put 10 bags of 40lb top soil per cart.  #1 son asked if he could pull one of the carts and I laughed as I gave him the go.  he weighs around 40 lb and that cart with dirt would  be 450lb or more.  I was surprised to see him pull it all the way to the cashier.  the cashiers and customers all paused in amazement as he then pulled it all the way to the truck.  we must have been some sight since son #2 was sleeping in his car seat being pushed by my daughter.  me, my three kids and two carts of dirt!

kat took a break from her weekend job as household network manager to fit the puzzle pieces of sod.

starting to get that finished look.

making that airport express get along with our old router.

we are listing household palindromes.

last day of school. 

summer is here.  school is out.  some teachers had lined up to wave as the last bus left the schoolyard.   it suddenly got so quiet.

 my kids were sad since they both love school.  will try to keep some fun going this summer.  although I realize our outings are limited with a 2 month old under foot.  maybe all we need is an infant sized life preserver and some rope; green belt, red bud island, tubing in san marcos...
