New planter bed

We have been in our house for 6 1/2 years now. Ever since about the 2nd summer, we have wanted to put a planter bed along the west side of our house. We've just never gotten around to doing it. Over the last 2 summers, the ground on that side of the house has settled really bad, so finally on Saturday, we did it. We hauled a ton of new dirt in and filled in the low area along the house and made our planter bed. It turned out really nice. My husband is such a sweetie for finally getting it done for me, even when it was 87 degrees out. We've still got some work to do, but it looks so much better.

It's official.....or is it???

I think Spring is here....finally! We have had some beautiful days over the last week. It went from being in the 40's for the highs right up to mid 80's. That is a little hard to adjust to in a days time. The hot weather was apparently taking its toll on 2 of my kids. Both Bo and Raegan felt the need to refresh themselves with a good splash of water in the face. Not once, not twice, not even three time, but many, many times. I guess I should have tried it. I wish I had video of it. It would have been much funnier, but my memory card is nearly full so it won't let me take video until I clean it off.

Just roll-n-grow

I was getting my 4 year old, Bo, ready for preschool this morning and told him that on Saturday we might go buy some flowers to plant in the next couple of weeks. He told me I should just roll and grow. I didn't know what he was talking about at first so I asked him to tell me what it was. He told me you just roll it out, water it and flowers grow. He said that would be a really smart thing to do and we would have lots of pretty flowers.

He said he learned about it on TV. He thought it was a great idea. It just made me laugh a little to know that he remembers seeing that and knew how it worked and that it would be a great way to grow flowers. What a smarty pants!

After our conversation about roll and grow this morning and was writing this blog, i did a search with the "roll and grow" words, and sure enough, up came a "roll n grow" website. After looking at the site, I remember seeing the commercial for it as well. So if any of you have the need to plant flowers, just remember to roll-n-grow.

Gotcha!

My daughter is fascinated by the drawers and cupboard in my bathroom. If ever she goes missing, I usually can find her there happily pulling everything out. I snuck in and caught her in the act. This is her surprised look. I'm sure she will someday see my surprised look when she comes out with a tampon or something equally embarrassing to show guests.

She's so dang cute though I just had to give her loves and we took a little picture together. She does love the camera.

Grass stains

This is what happens when my 1 year old nose dives into the grass. She has a very beautiful grass stain on her forehead... So I just stain treated it and threw her in the wash with the rest of the laundry.

You've got to be kidding

This scene is what I woke up to today, May 1, 2008. I'm getting tired of mother natures "sense of humor." I am soooo ready for spring to be here. I was wearing capris 2 days ago and now we have 2 inches of snow again. GGRRRRR!

Happy Birthday Chad!

My brother Chad's birthday was on April 20. Happy Birthday!
