Long weekend

I want to start out by saying thank you SO much for all the wonderful Mother's Day emails and comments! I am sorry I didn't leave any comments today - I have just been able to sit down and blog.
I had a great weekend. We went to Home Depot and then stopped at a great garden center. P bought me some really pretty flowers, some small flowering shrubs and a gorgeous hanging basket. We were planting flowers and setting up a rock garden for most of the afternoon. I think we did a damn fine job. I am not quite finished so I will work on that tomorrow.
While P and I were planting, the girls played in the sandbox. At one point, we were in the backyard getting more stone when I looked up and watch O run. She looked, literally, like Pig Pen from Peanuts. She had <i>so</i> much sand and dust on her that she created her own dust cloud when she was running. P and I laughed so hard. I wish I had my camera outside.
We finally called it quits around 430pm. All four of us were filthy. I mean, dirt everywhere! I got the first shower. O came trotting in right after I got in my robe. She had sand in her hair, between her toes, down her shirt, in her ears.. all over. When I put her in the tub, the water turned black!! I had to wash her hair twice and I am still not sure I got out all the sand. M got the next shower and thank goodness she wasn't as bad. P had to wait for more hot water as he takes super long hot showers.
When he was showering, I prepped dinner - steak, garden salad, rice, gravy and broccoli. P stuffed himself. He was actually moaning because he was full. Heh. The kids got to bed by 9pm. I missed Six Feet Under (ACK!) so I will have to catch it this week.
Well - that's about all for today.. I didn't even blog about Saturday.. oh well! I am going to try to catch up on some of you guys! See you later!
