I have a super evil Spring cold, my face hurts so bad, and I can’t hear anything thanks to two stuffy ears. At first I thought it was allergies, both of the kids had runny noses and the usual allergy cough, but Dylan’s seemed a little bad for allergies. His poor little nose was giving him all kinds of trouble, turns out it was a cold. He is better today with just a little runny nose, and Thade is doing great too. Maybe this cold will have a quick turn around time, and I’ll be back to normal soon.

Earth Day Activities
Yesterday to celebrate Earth Day we visited the Wildcat Glades to see Shoal Creek and enjoy the indoor animal exhibits.
Dylan loved looking at all of the fish, and Thade really liked the turtles. We ventured outdoors for just a bit, and saw a little lizard sunning on a big rock. Thade decided that it was way too hot, and he was all done with the outdoors.
We made a run to Hobby Lobby, and somehow I managed to leave the store without buying anything… weird. Since we were in Nana’s town, I thought it would be fun to surprise her with some new flowers at her house. The kids and I made a trip to a greenhouse, and found some pretty flowers. We ran back to Nana’s house, and got the plants planted just in time.
Today the weather is amazing, so I am going to go and get some new plants for our house. I think I’ll get a few Hosta to go in the Sweet Pea and Morning glory bed, and then some Impatiens for the hanging baskets too. If I can find a good price on Clematis then I’ll be planting those too.
Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
My boy’s woke up extra early today, and Thade yelled out Happy Earth Day. I’m glad to see my big kid excited about Earth Day, and there are even a few Earth Day activities planned at pre-school today. Thade also wants to help pick up all of the garbage in the front yard, and I think that sounds like a pretty good Earth Day project to me too. Maybe we can get a few plants planted too, and I bet Thade will hug a tree or two, too.
What are your Earth Day plans for today?
One of the Reasons Why My Hubby is Awesome
Last night I wasn’t feeling too good at dinner-time, so I made a quick meal for my family, and I attempted to eat some Ramen. Usually Ramen and I are best friends, but last night we were brutal enemies. As the evening went on, and it was nearing the kid’s bedtime, I was finally starving. I ran downstairs and James was working on the computer, but he looked up and asked me what I needed…
Nico: Wendy’s? I’m sooooo hungry.
James: You know I can’t say no to a pregnancy craving… Number 5 plain?
Nico: Yep, you are the best.
James grabbed his keys, and headed out the door. I got Thade ready for bed, and just in time. James came home with a delicious dinner for me, and I really appreciated it. He is such a sweetie, and will always go out of his way to keep his wifey happy. I should probably make him an awesome dinner tonight to say thanks.
Future Flowers
Friday afternoon we finally saw a break in the weather, and we had a warm sunny afternoon. I decided to take the kiddos outdoors and plant some seeds for a future flower garden. We got one fence row planted with Morning Glory and Sweet Pea. The kids had a blast watering all of the newly planted seeds with their watering cans.
Dylan still wanted to water some more, so I planted a few Dahlia seeds in the hanging baskets too. I don’t know if they will grow well, but Dylan was happy to water.
I’ve still got a lot of veggie beds to clean, and lots more seeds to plant. The weather looks like it is going to be great this week, and maybe I”ll finally get this garden going.
