The Weed Empire

Wednesdays have become my day to mow the lawn ... or to put it more accurately ... mow the "Weed Empire". The sod our builder laid only caught in a few places (which are growing quite nicely), but the majority of our lawn has been overtaken with weeds. Those of you who know me, know how much this is driving me crazy. I love my lawns and hate weeds. And with all the rain we've got in OK this summer, I haven't been able to do anything about it. Steph and Carter are going to Lone Grove this weekend, however, to visit family and attend a friend's son's birthday party. This is my cue to kill the weeds. I can't wait to drown them all in poison and hopefully get started on the recovery of our yard. I especially hate that Carter has an incredibly horrid backyard to play in (not that he cares, but grass is so much softer than weeds). I also have plans this weekend to paint the nursery and Carter's room. I hate painting, but am looking forward, actually, to painting all the kids' rooms. It's going to be a very busy weekend.
