We had our lawn de-mossed, aerated and overseeded. Supposedly, the overseeding was supposed to start new grass growth in the huge patches of dirt that appeared after we had the moss ripped out. So far, it's been three weeks and there is NOTHING. Not one little blade of wispy green grass. Now I gotta try and figure out how to get the grass the grow. You know what that means? Internet research on grass growing and a trip to Home Depot. I HATE Home Depot. Katie hates it too. Unlike the supermarket, there are no crabs to look at there.
We went to the zoo yesterday with playgroup. The zoo gets better as Katie gets older. She can find the animals easier and she can put names to them. But all those animals were boring in comparison to the ducks and squirrels we saw whilst wandering. Um, yeah. Ducks and squirrels elicited the most excitement from the toddlers. For example, we were sitting looking at this huge elephant swinging it's trunk about and yet Katie was fascinated by the mallard duck napping in the pond in front of it. I don't get it.
Katie has a new game. She grabs her little pink baby doll stroller and runs as fast as she can at an object. When she hits it full speed, she falls to the ground and yells out, "CRASH!" Then she gets up, changes direction and does it again. It reminds me of the kid in the movie "Parenthood" with the bucket on his head. Hey, whatever keeps her happy.
