So we finally had a glorious weekend here -- 73 degrees on Saturday and sunny! Whoo hoo. We were seriously doing a major happy dance. Followed by major yard work.
I coerced Tom into helping me dig up some very large and woody perenials on the side of the house. I really thought we were going to need a hatchet to get them out. In there place a Scottish Broom. I *love* this plant. We had several of them in our yard in Rhode Island. Minus the one I killed by the mailbox by overzealous pruning - which my husband loves to remind me. He made me raise my hand and promise not to come near this one with anything sharp.
Then, in the car this afternoon the kids are talking and playing (Star Wars, of course) when I hear Thomas tell me, "Ashoka's from the planet Unk - nown." Yup. Just like the word. Funniest line of the week.
And for all you Twilight fans out there, I ran across this link the other day. It's a fan fiction story of the Cullens - Edward, Bella and the rest - going to the movie theater to watch the Twilight movie and their comments as they're viewing it. Hilarious!
