How did the time change go over at your house?

Event: Changing the clocks back one hour, on Saturday night
We were sitting at home getting ready for dinner and watching the local news, when the reporters reminded everyone that it was time to change back the clocks...
Thomas: Mommy why do we have to change the clocks?
Me: Because it is no longer daylight savings time.
Allyson: What is daylight savings time?
M:It is when we spring forward and it stays lighter at night time.
T: Can I help change the clocks?
A: Me too.
So we go around the house and change all the clocks...
At around 8pm...
A & T: Is it time for bed I am sleepy?
M: Yes it is bed time.
Sunday morning at 5:30am...Allyson and Thomas come into our bedroom....Mommy is it time to wake up? It's not dark morning anymore....they open the blinds...see the sun woke up!
Rule 1 in our house: You stay in your bed until the sun wakes up or your alarm clock starts singing.

Welcome to Rockville

Here is what we have been doing the last month and 1/2:
It started with a pile of rocks....








Now all we have left to do is fill in the open holes under our lovely staircase and porch, and the middle island in the backyard, and along the other side of our house, hopefully we will get done before it starts raining.:) Hopefully after we finish I hope I don't have to shovel any more rocks or carry any more bricks. But pulling weeds is much easier now, which is a plus.
