Spring is finally here!

What an awesome weekend.  The weather was great and we enjoyed it a ton with everything we had going on.

Started on Friday - had dinner with Bigone and Trinity at Ruby Tuesday's.  Big behaved himself other than once asking my wife if she could take him to the bathroom (but only after she had already made two trips with our kids. :lol: )  We then made the rounds of Sam's and Walmart - picking up some groceries and some yard stuff.

Saturday morning was slow and relaxing.  Wife had some jewelry party or something at 1 so I went and saw Hot Fuzz.  Very funny movie, I will elaborate in the movie thread.  Saturday night we had a men's group get together from our church.  My dad made his famous (well to us it is :D) Shrimp/Chicken/Sausage Gumbo.  A little rice, corn bread, and hot sauce x 3 bowls = heaven. :D

Sunday we decided to go hardcore with some yard work.  So we took off for Lowe's and bought some mulch, a tree to replace an evergreen that didn't survive last year, some landscaping brick/edging pieces, and some seed.  I am behind a bit compared to the neighbors.  We had a real nice warm spell for about two weeks a month ago.  They all started working on theirs but I didn't see the point since I knew we would get one more cold spell.  And we did.  Unfortunately I have the worst grass on the block.  So I am starting the Scott's program on it.  And going to over seed hoping to get it back in shape.  There are literally "dirt" spots everywhere.  The lady that owned the house before us never did anything with it and I have spent the last two years nursing it.  This year it's getting the full treatment.

We also took the kids for ice cream, BBQ'd some chicken, and took the kids fishing at one of the little ponds in our sub.  The thing is fully stocked and the kids always catch something so they get a kick out of it.  Just little blue gills and sunfish but fun nonetheless.  I love Spring/Summer and all the fun it brings, such a wonderful break from the mundane that is winter (at least here in the midwest).

So all in all - a wonderful weekend.  Next week is the spring Stryker LAN - so should make for an awesome back to back weekends.  Can't wait!  More on that to come. :)
