On Saturday we planted 5 rows of corn, transplanted 6 pumpkin plants, and made a run to Lowe’s. Our short 2.5 hour shopping trip cost a mere 300 dollars. We originally intended to buy an irrigation system for our recently planted corn. Then we saw that seeds were on sale 2 for 1. Mama bought a lot of seeds for us. We discovered that it is possible to put ten 10’ long sections of PVC pipe (and one piece of 10’ long 1/2 inch rebar) into our Honda Civic. While at Lowe’s we ran into some friends from work. They were doing the same thing- buying irrigation parts for their garden.
On Friday night Mama wasn’t feeling very well. We’d planned to go to the county fair, but instead Wendy went to bed and I took Underfoot to a friends house. Underfoot played with their children while I played board games with the guys. It was the first time since we’ve moved from PA that I was able to play games with a bunch of guys. I had a wonderful time. I played two new games- Nuclear War and Acquire. Underfoot stayed up until we left at around 11:30. Our hostess was amazed at Underfoot’s stamina. (Her children were passed out at around 9:30.) I have learned that Kirkhams can stay up all night, sleep for a few hours, work all the next day, and keep going. I cannot do that. I need more sleep.
Wearing Daddy's Shoes:
Mama has done a lot of cleaning this week. I think she is starting to nest a little bit. She taught two piano lessons. On Monday we went to the Birth Center to learn about their policies. Mama is excited to have the baby in a Birth Center instead of a hospital. The Birth Center is only 45 minutes away. It’s good to live in the sticks. You learn to appreciate everything so much more.
