Too Old

 Bella wanted to paint something this week so we got out the paints and she painted a picture of a dog. She loves to blend colors..so I might need to replenish my paints after her blending fun! LOL!

Blending and painting!

Bella stayed over Monday night and we watched "Dancing With The Stars". She had to perform several of her "moves" for me.  We did about 30 minutes of Wii Just Dance and she out danced me!

Well..Bella said Papa and I were too old to be working so hard and I guess she is right. After planting 90+ plants, hauling 40 bags of planting soil, moving boulders, and hauling over a hundred bags of mulch we raised the surrender flag and have hired someone to finish the last flower bed and dig the trenches to extend the drains. Papa's wrist is strained and my knees are done! Doc said no surgery needed on the knees but they need a rest. I told him what Bella said about us "being too old" to work so hard and he agreed! (I think Bella called him and told him to say that! LOL) But he is right and I don't want to damage my knees any further. So now I will watch as the final bed is prepped and planted and the drains are done. Then the new sod arrives and it will be done!   We are almost finished with the yard! (Darn...I just remembered the fish pond needs cleaning out so Bella can put some gold fish in it! Guess we will be calling Efram to do that!)

We are keeping our fingers crossed for some nice weather so Bella can finally swim. She wants in the pool SO bad. I'm hoping for Friday or Saturday! Swimming is such a great exercise for her and I can't wait to get in and swim as well.
