This weekend Kim and I decided to stay close to home with the due date looming for the boys. This allowed me to get spring kicked off to a good start.

We got the BBQ working earlier in the week and we kept it going this weekend, cooking some pork chops and turkey franks for dinner on Sunday night. MMMMMMmmmmmm, BBQ!

On Saturday it was raining and cold outside so I stayed in and did some housework that needed to be done, mainly sweeping and mopping. I took my time; Kim was watching Biography channel (free preview weekend) and I often stopped to see what was going on.
That night we watched a couple good movies. Mr. Brooks which I really enjoyed (4/5) and Dan in Real Life that turned out to be better than I expected (4/5).

On Sunday the weather was clear and cool so I was able to go out and celebrate the annual Cutting of the Boxes spring festival. This spring we had not only boxes from Christmas but a large number of boxes from furniture and baby stuff for the twins. It was so bad that when I took my patio table out earlier in the weekend for BBQ duty the mountain of boxes collapsed and I was buried for three days until an international team of avalanche rescue workers from BC and five trained St Bernard dogs from Switzerland could find me and pull me out.
So there I was with my box cutter and work gloves and I got to work on the mountain swearing that no other unfortunate soul would risk life and limb to transverse it. It took a couple hours and there was a surprising amount of garbage like Styrofoam and plastic that at the time of disposal I figured I would get to later and now that it was later I was wishing I had dealt with at the time.
When I was done I had four garbage bags of debris and one organized pile of cut up cardboard. Now I need the Yard Waste facility open.

Today marks the beginning of our last full week as a couple with no kids. Its still hard to fully comprehend what next week will bring.
