Two Eggs!!

A little finch has decided to nest in one of our hanging baskets out front. It was the basket by the door, so I switched it to the other one at the end (I was afraid of the parent birds once the little ones hatched, they can be quite protective). I was worried that the little bird would not find the nest once I moved it but it did and laid two little eggs in it. The kids think it's pretty cool. I will try to take a picture of it.
Yesterday, my brother in law, Jeffie (as I like to call him) came and tilled up an area for a garden in the back for us. I wanted to go and play in the dirt this morning but now it's raining. Have to wait until tomorrow. I have some stuff already planted in little pots ready to go. We are also trying for a giant pumpkin or two.
The boys were quite happy with the hockey results on Sat night. We knew when Ottawa scored because they ran through the house screaming, I said ok for that time but I didn't want to hear them at 11:30. Graham and Connor had set up the cots in the basement and were going to sleep there. Graham made it to the end of the game but Connor dozed off just before the end ( I think his sleep over the night before and golf game that day did it). Graham still managed to be up before 7 to watch sports centre. He is upset the game is on late tonight (too late for him anyway). Hoping it goes to at least a game six so they can watch another game. Sarah and Elysia buried themselves in Elysia's room as girls do.
Yesterday we all went to the family day at Scotian Gold in Coldbrook. It's becoming a bigger and bigger event every year. The kids had fun and it was neat to see them talking to their new friends from school . Sarah and Connor, as members of 4H helped out. We also watched Connor do a Woodsman demonstration, it's a little scarey to watch them handle those big saws.
Mike is home today and I was hoping to use his muscles to help me play in the dirt but it's raining out so now I will have to find something else for him to do...no boxed to empty, no lights to hang, maybe we can get the office finished...or we could just watch a movie...that works for me, this not working for a living thing is okay...
