21 MAY 2011: day 141 (week 20)

kuya ed (with ate mel and grace as usual) came to cut the tree branches hanging over our neighbor's backyard (where the pool is). they requested if we could cut the branches because the leaves would be falling all over the pool. they did offer to help but suprisingly they were not home (but i did mention to them that we would cut it today...).

since it was such a beautiful day, i brought the food outside and we ate at the backyard!

and that afternoon, ronald and his family came to join our first bbq!!! we enjoyed our little backyard picnic.

and we ended the night with some singing...

16 MAY 2011: day 136 (week 20)

isn't that lovely!!! it is not our lawn...sad to say. it is our neighbor's. that is actually my goal (more of a dream now...) but with the rate i am digging up the weeds, winter will come sooner that me finishing up the weeds...hehehe
let us just appreciate out neighbor's lawn at this time.

this is OUR lawn... and the weeds have matured. i have stopped digging them at the moment because my hands are aching too much. i need to rest them.

15 MAY 2011: day 135 (week 19)

we finally got our(but mostly for nitz ...hahaha) exercise machine! it was a bit difficult putting it together.

14 MAY 2011: day 134 (week 19)

i want to thank my friend meg for this shirt! she sent it last year but i didn't get to wear until now. i love it meg!!!

13 MAY 2011: day 133 (week 19)

digging the weeds again!!! @##$&*&^($^!!! what more can i say...? i really try to remove as much as i can...

12 MAY 2011: day 132 (week 19)

i was cleaning inside the house when sofia went on the bed and said, "mommy, picture me like this!" so i did! hahaha

and would you believe she turned around and said, "picture my feet too!"?!... i was laughing as i took the picture.

11 MAY 2011: day 131 (week 19)

this is actually my third day of pulling the weeds... i spend at least one and a half hours in the morning and in the afternoon in our front lawn doing it. i have to say every night when i sleep my hands are both numb...!! but the following morning when i see the weeds again i cannot stand them so i end up working on them again.
