This weekend was pretty much all about the lawn and garden. I've bought a few truckloads of dirt and have been spreading it out in the bare spots in the backyard, especially where the tree came down last year, and planted grass and covered it with straw. I've never had much luck growing grass in the backyard, we'll see where it goes. Beth bought her annual load of flowers this weekend and we got them all in the ground. Natalie was a big help there, she loved it. Also this weekend was Mother's Day, which seemed like it should be something of a big deal this year. The kids all got Beth packages of coffees for her Keurig, and I got her a glassblowing class on Groupon. She was pretty excited about that. After church Sunday we went out to lunch at the sushi place in town.
Saturday we took the kids (and us) to see the new "Captain America: Civil War" movie, which we've all been looking forward to for some time. It was pretty awesome and I liked it a lot, but I do have some notes. It was too long, and it just seemed to me like it would have made more sense if the Captain America and Iron Man positions were reversed in the whole government oversight thing. And Tony overreacted. But still, pretty awesome movie.
Softball continues to lose....we've been calling ourselves the happy losers because it has been remarked on how we all seem to be having so much fun playing, even though we haven't threatened to win yet. I pitched again, and again they weren't swinging at the pitches. The other team got way out in front of us, but we had a late rally and the final was 13-11. I walked many. Had a couple good hits. We'll get one sooner or later.
