Dreadfully dreadful

We had to.... according to Nath go up to the house and ummm....it took him a while to think of a plausible excuse but he finally said he wanted to spray all the weeds that are pretending to be grass.  As there was such horrendous weather yesterday and the sky look quite clear we packed the car full of food, toys and sick kids and sick me.  So while Nath got his gear on to Roundup all the mound of dirt and green areas the girls and I stayed inside. Just as I was just on the way out to get a better car to roll on the floor I heard "Maaarrrmmmmm!!!"  Our big girl had stuck her fingers in the freshly gib stopped door frame, and leaned in it too.  I had to go tell the guys what happened and she felt stink and I did too.  So we ended up heading out of the house so the boys would have no more cock ups to fix.  We went for a drive and the girls just around the Lakes and found another swing set to play on for 1/2 hour while Dad finished spraying.  Well as it hit the 1/2 hour mark it started to drizzle.  Off to pick Dad up and then off home.  As we pulled up at home it really chucked it down with rain so it may have been a complete waste of time with the weed killing spree...but hopefully it may have started to do something before the downpour.  Joe will be spreading some of the big pile of dirt next week around the outside of the house and also getting some fine gravel to start to lay a base for the paths and patio areas...cool.  We will be up to spray yet again so the grass seed going down at the end won't be a complete waste of time.
