Boys have three days off this week

Because evidently their recent Spring Break wasn't enough?

Today I participated in a conference call while sitting in my comfy family room, hanging out with family, and throwing the occasional ball for Bear. Thank goodness for that Mute function!! Later we went to a local plant shop & picked up some wee baby lettuces, chard, kale, spinach, shallots, etc etc and planted them in our new, fabulous veggie raised bed Derek made. We've grown things each year but this is the first time we've deliberately planned a veggie garden..... so honestly I don't know how it's gonna turn out but it's been fun so far! I am feeling very protective of those little baby plants and will probably go hunt slugs tonight!

Alex & I enjoyed watching Casey's swim lesson this afternoon. Now daddy's tucking the littlest mister into bed, Alex is typing a school paper, and I'm thinking about our next 2 days at home. I've got to pick up some eggs & egg decorating supplies, that's what we'll do tomorrow!!

Hope all's well with you & yours!!!!

Beautiful Saturday

This is hands-down the nicest weather we've had all year. We were blessed with a perfect day for the boys' first soccer games!! Now Derek & Gene are helping a friend move some furniture, the boys are relaxing with full bellies, and I'm looking at 5 cubic yards of good soil in the driveway. I feel compelled to pour some love into our neglected garden! Can't type ... must ... get ... outside!
