  RIP Natasha Richardson may your life in heaven be as wonderful as it was here on earth.

Lastnight we went to Lowes and while Kevin was pricesing up their wood the kids and I went to lawn and garden and I am so happy that we did cause they had tulips on sale so we got a bunch of them and some black mulch and some fabric you put down to stop weeds all for under 40 bucks.Sarah wanted some daffodlis so we got them,purple tulips and some orange and yellow tulips too all in all I think we have over 26 flowers.

It looks like we are going to go with treated wood post and not aluminum ones cause we are going to be saving 140 dollars by using them.i told Kevin that we colud always paint them white if he wants them white.If we go with aluminum post and railings we are looking at it coming to about 1000 dollars to do the porch and if we use treated wood it will be half that.Sorry but that isa no brainer to us to use the treated wood

Things seem to be a little bit better today with the girls.They don't seem to be as crabby as they where since I have been making them go to bed at 8:30.I think we all need to go to bed early and then we wouldn't be so crabby in the morning.I know they don't like goig to bed that early but tough.I am their mom and not their friend and I don't make them do to many things.My neighbor seems to think that I am a saint cause the way Sarah is with me I will not smack her.when the kids were litlle and they did some hing like run across the street they got a spanking but now that they are older spanking don't work.So we take things off of them and thata seems to work sometimes.I am not  a hitter and will not smack my kids when they miss behave.i have nothing against it ,it just doesn't work for me.so don't leave me any mean note about it being abuse or what not.

I knew we couldn't have more than two days if nice weather here.Today and tomorrow it is going to be normal with cloudy skies.i guess though this weekend is to be partly sunny nad a high of 50 on Sat. and 60 on Sun. So it will be outside we go and do more yard work.With 2 1/2 acers we always have some kind of yard work to do in the spring and summer.In a few weeks we are going to have to get the garden ready for the plants.Love my fresh veggies from the garden but I am not going to lie it is a lot of work,but the kids love to help out with the weeding and everything so it makes it easier.
