Whirlwind

It's been an extremely full weekend.

Saturday, we walked the kids all over town, including to and from the vigil mass. I think we racked up close to 6 miles Saturday and about 4 this morning running errands. We came home and got the whole house cleaned and scrubbed and vacuumed and then we headed out to the backyard. The kids washed all the patio chairs and the playstands and garden tools while J turned the soil along one side of the fence for the garden. I spent that time sweeping the patio clean (which took forever) then knocking down all the cobwebs. After that I got the hose out and sprayed down all that was left and washed the walls and hosed down the cement. It's like having our own solarium now.

We were viciously attacked by the BBQ bug and went out to Home Depot to finally purchase a grill. That led to finding a propane place since HD was all sold out. Luckily, we found one on the way home that just happened to have one left. Score! The remainder of the evening, after the kids were sound asleep, consisted of J building the grill and me leafing through cookbooks trying to remember how to use one. We haven't had one since ours was stolen from our stairwell (along with all our BBQ tools) the first month we were in our apartment at BYU three years ago.

Tomorrow night, we grill.
