NJ came with me to my routine blood test. I notice that when he's with me, everyone is much friendlier and nicer. Funny how kids can sometimes bring smiles to people's faces. I sat down and he wandered until sitting down across the room from me. He gives me a look, I give him a look and he says, "Can I sit here?" I told him he could sit there as long as the room was empty, but as soon as someone walks in the door he needs to come sit next to me. So that lasted only a few seconds because after I said that, someone walked in the door and over he came. Each time that I've brought him so far, he gets closer and closer and asks more and more questions while I'm getting my blood drawn. His questions are getting harder to answer.
NJ and his gardening gloves.
We had an incredible amount of yard work to catch up on. It's been too hot to do anything. Some of the weeds got taller than our fence... so embarrassing. You can't tell by the photo, but I like the "after" picture better anyway! We trimmed some crazy overgrown bushes too. It made it difficult to walk around the pool. And man, who needs the gym when you have gardening to do? My whole body hurt and I was sweating like crazy. Feels good to clean and take care of the house. So grateful that we have one.
NJ really tried to help, but actually it was creating quite a mess. I think he got a little frustrated. We felt bad, but we were all rewarded with a refreshing dip in the pool afterwards! That felt great! Some unexpected and rewarding family time by doing housework!
