The Grass Just Got a Little Greener!

First of all, here is a few pictures of a Cookie Snatcher and his little Jailbird partner, who were suppose to be taking their naps. This is were I found them when I went to check on them, hoping they had really went to sleep since their room was so quiet. I don't know who was surprised more, but they were too cute and so surprised to be caught! When I found them I couldn't help but laugh and take their pictures.

We spent the weekend prepping and putting in some sod to try and finish filling in our yard. There are some before and after pics. We got 2 pallets of sod and spent all day Saturday laying it. We finished the front and down one side of the house. We made it around the back, but didn't quiet have enough to finish the back. Corbin and Aidan are excited to have the grass to run around on, instead of still getting in trouble for playing in the mud all the time. It was so nice to see the finished product after such a long and hot day of work, which most of it was done by Nate. He did most the lifting of the sod....it was pretty heavy, and raking, prepping, etc. I spent the day watching the boys and keeping the water jug full, and patching and unrolling the sod while trying to help prep before Nate put down more rolls. Corbin was invited to the neighbors to play all day and made himself right at home. Aidan was my Sidekick most of the day except for during his nap and when he was trying to escape our yard to go exploring to the neighbors. While we were waiting for Nate to get back with our sod, the boys were practicing riding their bikes and asking every 5 minutes where's Dad and our grass?! Corbin has finally decided he likes his bike and is getting really good at riding it. He can't wait to go out everyday and take a ride. Aidan loves to stroll behind Corbin in hopes of going someplace better then our sidewalk. But mostly he just likes to sit on his trike and watch what's going on.

After our hot, long day we took the boys out for Chinese Noodles and to see Kong Fu Panda. We all loved it, especially Corbin and he's now decided he can do Kong Fu. Aidan kept busy by shoveling in 3 cups of popcorn that lasted him through the whole movie without me having to take him out, yeah! Needless to say we were all pretty worn-out and ready for bed after the movie.

My hopes of the Boys being mellow at church, from being worn-out, were cut short when by the time Sacrament Meeting was over we'd taken Aidan out at least 3-4 times for fits and crying over taking away his crayons after he threw them on the floor and at Nate. Later he refused to go to Nursery or stay in Nursery. Corbin was great throught Sacrament Meeting but had to go sit in the hall a couple times in Primary and Class for not keeping his hands to himself and fits. Later they both took a very good nap and we had a much more pleasant day! We hope you all had a great weekend too!
