Garage Sales Rock

Yesterday morning when Andrew got home form his boke ride, he had gotten something for the kids. There was a yard sale around the corner, where he had grabbed each of the kids a frisbee for 5 cents each. He was impressed with himself, as the kids had been tossing his around all week. So we stopped by the same one later, and picked up some brand new fun for cheap too. The boys are obsessed with planes and rockets. They had this Air Hog plane. You pump it up with a small pump, then the perpellar starts to spin and off it goes. Ethan can do it all by himself, and Eric LOVES it. I am shocked we haven't broken it yet. We also got a kitchen botany set. We are sprouting beans and planting seeds in different enviroments. Went along perfectly with our Gardening we're working on right now. Good fun for a rainy day inside.

Planting a Garden.

We are halfway through planting our garden. We were going to finish yesterday, but three days of rain has put it on hold. We are renting,and don't have a otn of room in the yard. But we did have a rock border around the AC units. So we went to home deopt and had a couple of pieces of wood cut. Then with a few pieces of wood from an old pallet, Andrew created our Garden boxes. Yeah! It does cost an arm and a leg to fill them with dirt. The kids had fun filling them up, and planting. They helped pick out all the plants at Lowes too.
zucchini
strawberries
jalapenos
red peppers
yellow pepers
romaine lettuce
chives
cilantro
basil
We even planted some in our hanging baskets.Now we are just hoping they all will grow. We have already lost three lettuce plants to over eager gardeners (Eric and Ethan) And the tomatoe plant is constantly attacked by rock storms. So we'll see how it goes.

Finally a new post!!

Yeah I am so excited to have a camera again!! I have been watching craigslist faithfully for a good deal. Yesterday we snagged a Canon Elph for $50, with a case and a 4GB memory card. i am so excited. I feel like I have missed so much these past two months. So I will be snapping pics like crazy. I have threatened the kids with their lives if they touch it! I'm sure it means nothing to them. Who know if anyone other than Julie will ever look at it, but it's the only journaling I do for my kids. So here we go.

Ethan's ditched the training wheels.

Eric turns 2

Eric turned 2 on September 14th. Even though we had celebrated earlier in the month we couldn't let the day go by. As tradition has it, he got to pick the dinner menu. PIZZA! He announced several times. So we had pizza and cupcakes, Happy Bithday Little Guy. He's growing up way to fast. Here's a bit about him at 2. Can't get enough fruit snacks, juice, and crackers. Loves to play ball. Can toss the football, kick the soccer ball, and shoot the basketball. Loves the water, whether it's dumping out all the water bottles on the grass, or flooding the bathroom with the bath tub. He has his own opinions now. After folloeing everything Ethan's done for two years, he's aquired his own likes and dislikes. And of you differ in opinion, watch out he's rough. He'll tackle you to the ground, or just bodyslam you. He has a great sense of humor, and loves to make faces to make us laugh. And I love the way he wraps his arms so tight around my neck everytime I get a hug.
