So this morning Jeff comes in and wakes me up to say he's about to go to Walmart. So I get up and get ready to go with him. We first take my car, FULL with boxes, to his old apartment complex and dump them... its only 8:45, so of course no one is awake! Then we go to Walmart, do our regular grocery shopping, and leave. Then he says he wants to stop at Lowes. When we get in the gardening section, something comes over Jeff and he wants to plant bushes! SERIOUSLY? Plant Bushes? Ok, lets get bushes. We picked out 4, which the ones he picked out we find out, after we get home, will grow to be 10-15 feet tall and wide! The largest bushes ever! He is so excited about it though! I was so impressed!
So Jeff, starts taking the old bushes out. 2 of them were dead already, since the day we moved in, and the others (6) were fine. We put them to the side and he started digging, and tilling, and all that good stuff. Jeff kept saying stuff like, I'd so much rather do this than lay around all day doing nothing. At Noon, we took a lunch break and then went back to the yard. At 2 or so, the shovel we bought today, BROKE! So, I was off to Home Depot. When I got back Jeff was not so excited about the bushes anymore. He was now saying stuff like, Life stinks or, my favoirte, I'm so glad I sale insurance. So, he got the new bushes planted and then started putting in the potting soil... which we need 2 more bags of. So we decided that tomorrow, or something, we are going to finish putting soil down and then plant the MILLIONS of flowers that he picked out, then we'll put the mulch and border down. Now, Jeff's new theory is, today would have been much better if we would have just dropped the boxes off, grocery shopped, he would have fertalized, and then hung out. All I have to say is, I enjoyed being pregnant and having to sit in my chair and watch him all day.... all we could do is laugh! I'll post more when we finish! Oh... and those 6 HEALTHY bushes...

our neighbors took 2, Jeff is keeping 2 (to plant somewhere, sometime?) and we threw away 2! Yes, we are not ever taking on something like this again! EVER! I'd rather pay someone to do it and I didn't even have to work!!
