Not to mention blogging, I don't have time to go online and order FREE pictures! Yes, Free!!! I am awful but we have been soooo busy outside I can't do anything else.
Since we didn't move in until the end of June, we missed all the pruning and planting, etc from last year. The landscaping was not in great condition and there were a lot of plants, etc that were in the wrong places and planted in the wrong conditions.
So far, we have planted 13 Green Giant Arbor Vitea's, 4 blueberry plants, 3 forsythia's, 4 day lilies, 2 butterfly plants, 2 hummingbird plants, 4 Dogwoods, 2 Azaleas, 6 Otto Luykens, 5 Blue Rug Junipers, and 1 Bradford Pear. We have transplanted many day lilies, 2 azaleas, 3 Holly bushes, 1 'unknown' bush, and 2 Fire Nandinas. To top it off, we aren't finished!!! There is so much more work and planting to be done with our yard, etc.
Now, on to Blay! I am almost to scared to say anything but my 'angel' has been just that. His problem right now is not wanting to go to sleep or sleep by himself. He keeps saying the lions are coming to get him and his monkeys. I'm not sure what he's been watching or dreaming about that involve lions but it's sad. He came walking into the bedroom at 2 am this morning scared of the lions. I laid down with him in his bed until he was sound asleep and he slept until I got him up to eat his breakfast.
He has been playing in the yard with us and it is soooo funny to watch him in imaginary play. I don't know what he thinks half the time but would love to find out. He starts talking about stuff out of the blue and we have no idea of where it came from. He does that with singing too. Saturday, Blay and I went to Wal-Mart and he just started shouting, I mean singing, "God Our Father" and did it over and over again. It got embarrassing at one point in time. He'll even do this in the vehicle. He's so darn cute, and smart! Have I mentioned that?
He's also into the 'Why' phase! I absolutely hated when my nephew went through this phase. You have to go in to A LOT of detail and have to make-up or white lie through some of the explanations because I simply, just don't know. His curiosity is amazing and rapidly growing. I wish his potty training was the same.
We've backed off it this area some because he started to 'hold' the number 2 and I didn't want him to do this. We still ask him if he wants to go and talk to him about it but I'm not threatening him or pressuring him to do it anymore. It'll come in his own time. Just not soon enough to me.
Well, I think that is a good update for now. I will post some pictures tonight or tomorrow because I will have to get on the internet at home tonight or tomorrow to order my free pictures and job search! Pray for that tooo please, oh pretty please!
Lots of Love,
