What's up with that?
We had to drive back down to do some repairs to the house today. Seeing as the kids are out of school, this was a whole family affair.
Now, with the kids being ADHD, a few years ago we bought a vehicle which would fit the whole family, but also cater towards the kids attention spans (or lack thereof). We bought a Van. A Ford conversion van, complete with very comfortable seats, TV with a VCR and a Nintendo.
The purchase of this van converted the 2 hour torture into a wonderfully peaceful 2 hour drive.
Today, while at the house, the boys wanted to help Daddy do the repairs. The repairs were such that their help was less than constructive. Time for a diversion! Since we would be visiting my MIL after we were finished, I had the boys go to the yard to pick some flowers for her.
When we arrived at the house, the front yard was an explosion of purple crocuses. When we left it was a barren wasteland.
