It was a good weekend
Saturday was good. We had to skip swimming to go to this little league parade. It was fun! How often do people get to be in a parade? I dunno - I don’t think I was ever in a parade until I tagged along with one of my kids for this annual walk.
I saw neighbors and friends lining the sidewalks. it was pretty great. After a while I put Grace on my shoulders - not because she needed the help but she thought it was fun. And I think she’s starting to get too big so one day I will realize that she’s too big and we’ll never do it again.
They sang the national anthem at the baseball field and awards and recognitions were made.
I had to leave partway through though because Gabriel and I had to go to a cub-scout hike in the Middlesex Fells. It wasn’t a long hike, but it was enough to get to the top of a hill and enjoy some outstanding views from Wright’s Tower.
We spent a couple of hours there before returning to Melrose for Grace’s T-Ball game. She had a really good time. i will post some photos shortly. We all went and cheered for her. Her team cheered for her and she had a great time. I am feeling optimistic about the rest of the season.
Ok, I took off the rest of the afternoon for a nap and some focused loafing. It was nice.
Sunday was probably busier than Saturday. We got up a little earlier than usual and got to work on the disaster we call our backyard. Its been a wreck because of winter. We
- picked up stick
- scooped poop
- picked up stones
- picked up litter that had blown in to our yard
- put away toys
- set out yard funriture
Me and the kids did that after I helped Liz spread 8 bags of mulch out front. I got two tanks of propane for the summer. We got more mulch. We got 400lbs of playsand for the sand box. We also restocked out liquor cabinet with summertime beverages.
I fixed a grown-up swing that had broken at the end of last year. Chloe and I also managed to run out to the grocery store and picked up some FINE steak tips that came out just great.
At the end of the day Iw as very sore from slogging 50lb sacks of sand and mulch up and down the steep stairs to the backyard, but I felt pretty good.
All in all it was a pretty weekend.
