My garden

Anyone remember my garden last year? (here and here) It was very small. I up-graded this year. I think last year's was 56 inches. This year I think it's 12x20 feet. I have quite a bit planted but still have room for more. I think I'm done planting for now but next year, I want more! I keep telling my mom that I'm going to post a video of it so she can see what a gardener I've become, and I kept forgetting. So here it finally is.

For some reason blogger won't upload the video, so click on this YouTube link and it should take you there.

I forgot to mention that I also have 2 more strawberry bushes at the back fence. Yummy!

C-isms and other fun stories

If you know my kids, you know that K can come up with a one liner quickly and often. C, not so much. But when he does, they are pretty funny.

The other night Daddy was in the bathroom and C went running that way. "Daddy are you almost done? I have to go!" Daddy finished up and C went. He came out and said " I'm waiting flush because it's still processing." Too funny!

This week my kids have been attending day camp at a friend's church (yes 8-5 every day; I don't know what to do!) Today when we stopped at a red light I said, "we should do a Chinese fire drill." All 4 kids said "huh?" So explained it. They got such a kick out of it. C giggled so much that E said "you laugh like a girl." I'm thinking that part of it was the fact they were so tired.

Another thing that happened every morning, the kids tried to look for deer (we drove through a nature park every morning with big open fields). I think it's funny that we never saw one deer. Unless you count the dead one that I saw and didn't point out to the kids. That just tickles me.

Hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures from day camp. I'll share if/when I get them.

End of the school year

Here are 2 little kiddos that finished school. And did very well, I might add. By the end of the year, they were ready to be done and so was their mommy. So our last day was May 20th. A little earlier than I usually finish. I am now regretting finishing early. They are bored, ALREADY!

We took them to get ice cream at Cold Stone. And then went to see Kung Fu Panda 2 at the theater. I didn't get any pictures of the ice cream or the poster for the movie. So you'll have to trust me; that's what we did. This is at the theater (before the movie started).

I love this picture! I think it turned out so good! And Daddy took it. Yeah for my family.

BUSY!

And that is probably an understatement! And since I have been so busy, this is what has happened to my laundry. IT HAS MULTIPLIED! Like baby bunnies!

This is clean-to-be-folded laundry. (Oh how I need my mother-in-law here!)

And there was a load in each of these!

Surprising we even had clean clothes to wear today!

More K-isms

Aaah! My kids are bored already! I knew I shouldn't have been finished with school so soon!

Anyway. Here are 3 things that K has said lately that I found funny.

1. The other night C asked us (Daddy & I) if we wanted to be President. We both said NO. Too much responsibility. K said she wants to be President one day because "then she can jump on the bed anytime she wants."

2. Last week Daddy was mowing grass. K was right there with him with her little mower "helping." Daddy asked her to open the gate. She had no idea what he was saying, so he had to turn the mower off to tell her. She said "sorry I couldn't hear you. My ears aren't big enough."

3. This week is VBS at church. K has been so excited about it. Tonight they get to have their face painted. We asked K what she was going to get. She said "Jesus." We said "the word Jesus?" She said "No a picture of Him." Good luck with that, Miss Whoever-gets-to-paint-her-face.
