gardening adventures

We got the garden in this weekend.....just in time for it to SNOW! I spent Saturday weeding and planting flowers in the front flower beds and cleaning up the pine needles... Paul tilled the garden. Yesterday Andrew helped me get flowers in the back beds and a few more in the front. Paul got all but three tomatoes, the peppers and eggplants and all the squashy things in. Both days we managed to get done before it began pouring.

This morning I woke up and it was still pouring, but it looked a little thick for rain. I checked the thermometer and it read 37 degrees...it really couldn't possibly be snowing. Could it? I decided I needed to wake Paul up and he got covers draped over the vegetables. Poor flowers have to fend for themselves - hopefully they make it.

I was amazed by the size of the flakes coming down so I snapped this with the cell phone through my windshield (no, I wasn't driving, stopped at a light - see all the cars in front of me through the snow)..

All about Andrew

Andrew has lost another tooth. He was excited for this one. The tooth fairy brings a $2.00 bill for the second tooth. He wiggled it until he made it come out, I asked him to wait, I wasn't ready. I didn't have his tooth pillow ready for the first one - we were camping and I thought I had more time. I begged him to leave it alone, I think it made him work harder at it. I did manage to get the pillow done the night he lost his tooth.

And I saw this cute dirt bike cake in a magazine about a month before his birthday and knew I had to make it for him. Both the kids were excited to see it completed. It was easier than I thought it would be too.

And lastly, his kindergarten program was this last Friday. He was so excited for it, the kids must have worked so hard. He even had a speaking part: "N is for numbers, we know one, two, three". They sang close to ten songs and didn't dances. They even sang one of my favorites, "What a wonderful world", that Paul and I danced to at our wedding. When he was done he turned to me and gave me the thumbs up sign.
