In our house we have very strict rule about work for Graham. They really are quite simple, no working on weekends. During the week Graham puts in countless hours and the occasional all nighter. When he does come home work comes with him. He spends his evenings glued to his computer working, taking calls and chatting to China. I don't know if he realizes the sun come out during the week. I understand because #1 I'm a good wife. And #2 one of us has to work. Right now the hospital is sloooow so I get canceled, a lot. We joke I have a job, but I don't work. True story. I think my last paycheck had 4 hours on it.
Graham "forgets" something inside so I buckle Ava and myself in and wait, and wait and wait. Finally Graham shows up again and we are off.
Grahams first order of business anytime we hit Home Depot is to get a hot dog. How is it that Home Depots hot dogs are so good? My mouth is watering just thinking of them...
this guy in line in front of us apparently think ordering a hot dog is complicated work because he sure took his sweet time! But Finally we get our food and set off to cruise the aisles. Ava steals away Daddies Cheetos. She chewed on this bag for most of our trip. 
Our first stop is to get some plumbing supplies so Graham can run a water line to our new fridge. Ava thinks the plumbing section is about as exciting as I think it is.
Next we are off to the flowers, which is way more fun!
We get our loot and are on our way.
But first a quick stop at the store. In the process of switching fridges we've run low on food and unless we want to make dinner of expired condiments this is a necessary stop. Notice Graham on his phone, sneaking in some work...tsk, tsk.
I digress.
Last week Graham had to fly out of town early on a Sunday morning thus breaking the "rules". To make up for it he took off Friday giving him a 4 day weekend (I think that's the longest he's been away from work since we got married!) It was also my Birthday weekend (yep, I get a whole weekend of doing what I want to do.) My first order of business on Friday was to go to Home Depot to get flowers and plants to redo our flower beds.
So bright and early Ava and I proceed to the garage to get her in the car. As usual Graham is not quite ready to go. So Ava plays in the driver seat until Daddy shows up.

I love how flowers cheer up a house! I went low maintenance this year with lots of petunias and Geraniums and Day lilies. My goal is not to kill them. Plants in our house seem to die rather quickly. We do still have a few more things to plant, but that will come next weekend.
