Gardening at Nico’s

May 31st, 2008

When I say that I am a gardening novice, I really, truly am. This Summer I’ve decided to start small, and hopefully grow into a gardener, even if I don’t happen to have a green thumb. I set my sites on 4 hanging baskets, a small Hosta garden, and a teeny tiny Veggie/Melon garden.

Only one and maybe half of a hanging basket are thriving. The other two have gone on to potted plant Heaven… I’m going to replant them with Inpatients, because it seems to be the only flower that I can grow (which is kinda funny). The Hosta are doing well, and the leftover Pansy that I over-purchased for the hanging baskets are doing great too. The veggie garden is another story…

I haven’t planted it yet… I’m still pulling weeds. Everyday Thade asks when can we plant our veggies, and I tell him just as soon as Mommy has gotten rid of all of the weeds. It is a slow going process and my thumbs are killing me ;) I hope I’m not too late in the season, I swear we had frost last month :)

 

How are your Summer Gardening Projects going?

Ice Cream at Your Door

May 30th, 2008

Yesterday Dylan was finally down for his afternoon nap, and I was making the mad dash to get all of my afternoon chores accomplished. Thade was in the living room and he said that he could hear pretty music, I quickly realized that the pretty music was the Ice Cream Truck :) Thade and I ran to the front door and the Ice Cream Truck was parked right behind my car, so I picked him up and we headed outside.

Thade was thrilled with the unexpected treat :) I had to pick up a Bomb Pop for James and me too. I took a little break from the chores, and enjoyed the ice cream.

Do you  have a favorite Ice Cream Truck Treat?

Last night was Thade’s 2nd T-Ball game, and it was team picture night too. It was a fun game, but Thade and I were sneezing our heads off before the night was over (darn Cottonwoods). Thade did a great job up at bat. He is getting the hang of throwing the ball back to the coach too.  It was a fun evening, but next time I’m going to make sure to take my allergy medicine earlier in the day ;)

Finally, A New Movie That I Want To See

May 28th, 2008

So are you going to go and see the Sex and the City movie this Friday? I kinda want to go and see it, but I’ll have to drive an hour and a half to catch it. I was a really big fan of the series, and the movie looks so good. I would love to see all of the beautiful costumes and those fabulous shoes!

So if you are a fan of the series which character do you resemble the most? How I wish I was more like Carrie, but just ask my hubby, I’m totally Charlotte :)
