Handy work

In honor of spring and all that, Tony built this awesome garden for me! We have one with some fruits and pumpkins, one with veggies, and a small one for herbs. They are doing quite well, and I love the ease of the drip line watering system he put in- the garden gets watered with the lawn when the sprinklers go off. Watching the produce grow has been fun!

Also, here's a picture of the first hibiscus flower of the season since we had the bushes pruned. I wanted to share so you could enjoy it too- it's so pretty!

The big and little cub scout

Kaiden took second place in the wolf group cub scout pinewood derby. Tony and Kaiden boys had fun building the car and watching it race.

What I'm doing this week

Our sweet little boy decided to sneak the face paint out of the trash. Tony put it in the garbage because the kids made a mess with it and couldn't leave it in the cupboard. Naturally when you are 8 and you sneak something you must put it in your pocket. Good moms check pockets. Maybe it's because my kids always put clean clothes in the laundry and the laundry heaps in piles, or maybe it's because I'm too busy with everything else I take upon myself, but I rarely check inside pockets- just a simple pat to feel for large objects. Note to self- face paint sticks are not large objects, and pockets probably should be checked. Kaiden helped me spray all the stains last night. Some came out with that and oxy clean, the other half of the load is on it's second round of treatments now. Why oh why do they make face paint and crayons? This isn't my laundry- I cheated and took a picture from Google, but you get the picture!
