February 28, 2026- Saturday

 Today I got to sleep in as Michael took Alden early to his robotics competition. As soon as I was up and ready to go I went to Lowes to buy dirt and some things for the drip system I am going to be putting in. I got back just before 9am. The Astons came over just a little after that. Benson and Evan had made the sheet pancake for us all to eat for breakfast so we ate that then set outside to work. The boys moved 7 loads of mulch...we're starting to put a dent in it. I unloaded the van of the dirt I bought and emptied it where we needed it and then worked on cleaning up the duck enclosure. I then got a message from Sister Taber, I had gotten the times mixed up, I called her and we figured out a new time. As soon as the Aston's got picked up we hurried over to Sister Taber's house where we did a very fun project, painting octopus'. 

Benson wanted to get some fish so we ran by Petsmart for him to buy some goldfish for the little pond him and Evan build the other day. Once home we watched some of Alden's matches and started cleaning up for the evening. The girls watched a show about a zoo during WWII while I tried to finish up a couple of things in the yard.

It was a full but beautiful day. It was nice to spend so much time outside and to have another Saturday being home.
