Or you might miss it. Mom, dad, and Uncle Kevin have left. The visit went so quickly--as always. I wonder how I managed to get so little work done when the whole point of them being here was so I could work. It was my own fault. Instead of working, I did all kinds of stuff I've been meaning to do--so I guess the visit wasn't a total loss.
We got our first piece of plastic play equipment for the yard. Got it second-hand and besides taking 5 adults to figure out how to put it together, Eddie seems to like it quite well. Also went to the National Building Museum on Saturday. This is our absolutely favorite museum. Went for a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit and a green house exhibit and by luck they were stacking these sticks, called Keva blocks to a height of 51 feet. Was interesting to watch, but more interesting to watch them fall.
Eddie was mesmerized by the large fountain in the middle of the floor. We don't think he'd ever seen a fountain and just couldn't tear himself away.
In other news, we got our first tomato yesterday and first green beans today. We still have lettuce--for probably another couple weeks. It kills me that we get such a short period of time where the lettuce AND the tomato can be harvested from the garden. We have little green peppers starting to form. This is why I love growing a garden--it's fun to watch the stuff form over time and the satisfaction of knowing that with very little work, we get more food than we can eat.
