Saturday

We got up all ambitious & motivated! We were going to clean & organize the garage! First up, Anand drove the lawn mower out of the garage, and Suri freaked out:

It was loud and she didn't like it!

We loaded the back of the SUV for a "dump run". Anand left to go to the dump and called me...the car died. UGH! AAA to the rescue again! (update: fuel pump-UGH!) So, that ended the garage clean-up for the weekend. We decided to move it to yardwork (which is so overdue it's not funny). Anand started mowing & weedwacking while I raked FIVE huge (you know-the humongo big paper lawn & garden bags) of leaves off the back patio. The girls helped me pull the leaves off the rock wall. I should take a picture! I wish I had taken a before picture, but I was honestly embarrassed at how bad it was! It looks nice now, though.
Here is the "after":

Notice the rock wall on the left? There were leaves packed in there. Thankfully the girls helped me out!

And here is a picture of those FIVE bags I filled!

Sage came over and helped me hold the bags open to fill. He asked if we wanted to go to dinner (he TOOK US out for dinner!), so we got ready and went to Margarita's-he works there! It was the girls' first time there.

Here they are getting ready to go:

Aww...sisterly love. Hopefully it will stay that way!

Sage got the girls sombreros:

Here are me & Maya:

And Suri & Anand:

And here is the gang all making silly faces:

Thanks Sage for a great night out-it was FUN!
