So Crazy…

Yep, yesterday was so crazy there isn’t even any photographic evidence! I must type this post because one day I won’t remember all the crazy things that happened! It was our Sunday to bring breakfast which went very smooth. We were even 20 minutes early and had to wait around to drop off the kids. If only the whole day had gone so wonderful! We have been trying to rent a sod cutter to start our landscaping and they keep being checked out. So we hurried home after church and called Home Depot, yep they had one. So Nick attached his new trailer that he assembled to the SRX.  Well…the two trailer pieces were not the same size (this is in girl language). So Nick told me to watch the trailer to make sure it didn’t come off. About 5 minutes down the road there it was. I jumped out and put it back on. This happened 2 more times before we finally reached the Ace and got a new hitch. After 30 minutes in the store Nick finally appeared and we were off again. Thank goodness this hitch fit perfect! At Home Depot it was crazy busy and Nick was gone another 30 minutes. Did I mention Will, Maddie, and I were in a rather warm car playing lots of eye spy?  Finally we were on our way home, of course this is after Nick and I loaded the sod cutter and while he was strapping it down it started to roll off the trailer and I had to shout at Nick so it didn’t hit him in the head. When we got home the kids and I went inside and Nick began the cutting. As I was telling my Dad on the phone to turn on DIY to see how to fix his deck the phone went dead. Nick cut the phone line and we lost our internet too!  So a quick call to AT&T to get a service call for the next day.  A few minutes later a very red faced Nick came in telling a tale of a stuck sod cutter. Out the kids and I went. Will in the stroller and Maddie running around. I started loading the cut sod into the wheelbarrow and dumping in the needed backyard areas. Then Will decided he was done and started screaming. Right when we were all at our wits in..Nick kicking the sod cutter, Will screaming, and me with a tipped over wheelbarrow our neighbors arrived to help! Thank you Lawrence family! They just took over and started loading sod. Just as Nick got the sod cutter and was driving it around to the garage we heard a load pop. It was the wheelbarrow tire!  In steps Ernie Love. He drives on down with his riding lawnmower with the cart attached. What a team! Then they helped Nick load the sod cutter and he headed back to Home Depot. They finished moving the sod. It was at this point I couldn’t find Madeline. A few minutes later while I was searching I see her coming down the street with Kelli Love & her little boy Pierce. She had gone down and rang the doorbell telling Kelli she was hot and needed to come in to cool down! Oh My!!!  So Kelli watched Madeline while I went and put a cranky Will down for nap. As I was coming back outside the Lawrence boys with Ernie’s equipment had mowed the yard, and started to edge. Are you kidding me? What amazing helpers! When Nick returned home we laid the sod in the back while Madeline had a tea party with the Love boys and Ryan Lawrence. What a day. Yep, what would we do without neighbors? What a great example of how to treat others. I hope I remember to be so helpful to those around me!
