Two of my favorites...

I haven't posted in what seems like just about forever...but our computer was out of commission...so a quick post from a different computer:

i LOVE spring...i have my garden planted, for the most part. I planted it a few weeks ago, tilled it all myself mixed in some fresh new soil and ever so carefully planted rows and rows of different seeds... We have 6 tomato plants growing, 2 squash plants (well only one now, one died in the rain that started the day after all my planting efforts and didn't stop until it killed a few plants) cucumber seeds that i HOPE are going to sprout? (the rain really moved some dirt around and covered up the seeds even more), peas (that just popped through the top of the soil yesterday! i saw two little seedlings and had to help uncover the rest of the row that had an extra inch or so of soil on top of them), corn (that has yet to grow...i think those got hit hard with the storm and all, we may have to re-plant) and watermelon seeds! also on my kitchen sink by the window we have 2 types of HOT chillis growing, jelapenos AND mixed bell peppers....i'm SOOO excited.

As you all know the sun & heat just makes me happy...if i wasn't afraid of cancer i would be in a tanning bad every day of winter.

We have been playing outside, riding bikes, chalking the drive way, even took out the little pool once, watering our new flowers. I've been running more and even with the kids a couple of times.

My dad gave josh and i a beautiful windchime for christmas a few years back and it's FINALLY up and since the weather is nice we can have the back slider open with just the screen shut and i get to hear the windchime playing "waterfall". LOVE it.

(p.s.you could guess my age/generation by that windchime. quick story: the wind chime was finally installed and i was downstairs doing stuff around the hosue and everytime the wind blew the chimes my first reaction was to look for a cell phone. i kept wondering what alert that was and who changed their phone because it wasn't a usual one. hehe.

Pictures and more posts to follow as soon as we get our computer under control at home!

OH and happy April Fool's Day...it is slowly (? slowly? not really, i think today i decided it is close to my favorite holiday EVER)

Riley woke up to me telling her that she needed to put clean undies on (as we do each morning-but i was sort of forcing the issue this morning so i could get off to work. aka i made her get out of bed and forced her to the dresser and she did the whole "limp body thing") she finally reached in to find...diapers...hahah she just rolled her eyes at me.

At lunch i prepared a bag of cheetos for the babysitter to give her and braden, but when they opened them she found baby carrots...the babysitter texted me and said Riley was sort of ticked and braden could care less..ill post video as soon as i can.

For dinner i am doing, what is now a tradition of "cupcakes" for dinner (meat-loaf in a cup cake pan and pink dyed mashed potato "frosting" with the infamous  "juice" afterward :)

Happy Day!
