Yard work

John went to bed early last night, this meant that when I went to bed there was no room for me. He was knocked out and not moving. So I slept on the couch, which is really comfortable except when the fat cat jumps on my chest and starts kneading. Anyways so this morning John was sweet to keep the kids quite so that I could sleep. He woke me up before he went outside. I figured that since he let me sleep in that I should get up and go help him outside....

Three trips to Lowe's, and ten hours later my sprinkler system is fixed and working properly. Last year we had to replace one of the automatic control box's and Matt decided that the whole sprinkler box should be completely replaced. However he ended up covering the whole with a piece of board for the whole winter. Today that all changed.

Also Scott and I tilled and planted out a small home garden. Three tomato plants, two bell peppers, a jalapeno and Brussels sprouts from seed. If anything grows I will be shocked, but Scott wanted it so I figured it would be good for the two of us to do it together.

On another note the fabric swatches came in for the dining room. There really wasn't to much of problem picking the fabric. Taffeta vine on Cinnabar, its on the top on the right in the picture.. It's a shiny material that changes between red and orange depending on the light. It is perfect for my color scheme and we did chose on a color also we went with the darker green.
