More Learning

The little girls and I did more vegetable seeds today.  Tomorrow, we are going to plant some flowers outside by our steps.

Next we are going to try our hands at container gardening.  I am going to try growing potatoes and carrots in containers by the door.

Learning Together

Given that I have never tried my hand at gardening before, this year is a learning experience for me and the kids.   Today, the girls and I planted some seeds to transfer to the greenhouse later.  I also planted the green onions I rooted.  I am going to try rooting garlic too.

I don't know how successful I will be, but it is a fun experiment.   The girls are having fun learning with me.

This One

Now this little cutie is feeling sick.  My poor boy hoarse, feverish and generally not himself.  Here's hoping he feels better soon.

Naturally

While there are days that I miss Yarmouth, I am discovering the many special things about Annapolis Royal.  One of the lovely things about it here is the people.  I have met so many friendly, helpful, and informative people that are quick to offer a smile or a chat.  Another wonderful thing is the closeness to nature.  We have seen a lot of animals, but my favorite is the deer.  We have had wait to let them cross the road, we have had them in our yard and in our driveway.  We even a couple of cute little goats come over to visit!  It is really cool!

One Thing

One reason that I feel lucky is how close my kids are.  I love the way they play together and the way they are always there for each other.  It makes me happy to see the love they share.

Ouch!!

Painful headache today.   It is so hard to function properly when your head is aching too much to hold up.  My eyes are even blurry.  Here's hoping tomorrow is better.

Seeing Red

Today, I decided to do something fun with my hair.  I have to say that I LOVE the color.  It is so much fun.

Earth Day

Happy Earth Day everyone!  The kids and I had so much fun!  I did a little theme decorating.  The bedtime part is most the decorations will be recycled and used in our garden later!  Isn't that fun?

Cupcake Fun

I decided to start our Earth day fun with a little cupcake fun with the little girls.  They are having so much fun with icing and sprinkles.

This Girl!

Once upon a time I was a self-conscious person who wore size 24 jeans.  I hated trying on clothes, I would just buy really big and hope it fit.

Well today that same person went to the store and tried on several pairs of size 14 jeans and they FIT!!!  That person is sitting down, curled up with a nice cup of tea wearing a pair of size 14 jeans that I had in the back of my closet for TEN years!!  There is no stopping me now!

I Have A Trick

It is hard to take pictures of Little Prince.  He is man on the move and is usually rocking hard when he is happy.  So all his pictures of him they tend to be blurry and oddly angled.

But I have a trick that usually allows me to get one or two mildly decent pictures of my active little man.  He and I play a game where I will sing part of a song which I invented and he sings the next part.  He is so used to this game that he will stop moving for a flash second to look at me in anticipation of the next line.  If I am quick with the camera while we play this singing game, I can catch one or two less blurry pictures (especially if you ignore the blurry hands LOL).

And a little creative cropping gets me something I really like.

What The Heck?!?

Yesterday, I was out on the deck barefoot in a tank top, and couple of days ago I was sunburned and gardening, and we even had a BBQ this weekend!

This morning This I woke up to this nonsense!  What the heck is this craziness?!?

Milestone

Today I bit the bullet and got rid of my baby boy's high chair.  He hasn't eaten in it for a while now.  I am so proud of him for learning to eat without his chair!  So today my baby boy officially outgrew his high chair.  Right now, he sits in a rocking chair and eats but I have hope that maybe one day I can get him to sit at a table to eat.  For now though . . . I will take this milestone as a victory.

My boy went from eating here only . . .

To eating with comfort and freedom here . . .

Golden

One thing I love about this house is the way the light shines through the windows in the evenings.  I love relaxing after a long day and enjoying the way the light creates a  golden glow.  It is simply lovely.

It is hard to capture the golden glow lighting up my rooms, but this is where the magic happens.

Weekly Weigh-in

I had an amazing week this week!!  I lost 5.8 pounds and that means I surpassed my second goal and lost 10% of my body weight!!  I only had one goal left and after that I am just going to see how far I can take this healthy ride!!

My Poor Babies

Sickness has hit our house.  The little girls got hit with a flu first and now daddy and mommy are feeling ill.  I am not sure of Little Prince but he has been a little grouchy the last two days so he may be feeling off too.  I decided to make a big pot of broth to help them feel better.

Happy Easter!!

The Easter Bunny paid us a visit and the kids had a blast.  (Which makes the 7 hours I spent cooking and baking totally worth it!)
