Planting

So, the big plan is to grow vegetables. Cleaned out corner of the yard. Took a bit of digging, mostly by hubby. I weeded and degrassed and worked in I think 50 lbs of steer manure. If all goes well, in a few months I will have corn, zucchini, tomatoes, beans, sweet pumpkin as well as a few herbs. Here is hoping my thumb is green enough to plant from seeds rather than seedlings like what I did in prior year.

Easter photo...

Just a quick photo of the kids taken yesterday, since I haven't posted in awhile and people haven't seen recent photo of little man.

Long time no post, first day school!

So, as most of you know, I have been home schooling our son for the past 2 years. Well, it came to light that our girlie pants needs a little help. Physically, she is 5 and a half, cognitively, 3. She is also needing a bit of speech therapy. So today, was her first day of school. *sob* Since we needed to do this, decided to start little man (who is 7) this coming fall too. Funny thing is, it's a bit backwards, we thought we would be sticking our son in school first. He was a bit confused to why his isn't starting until September. Here she is, first day. No, no separation problem. Told her time to go with the teacher, she barely looks at me, grabs the teacher's hand, waves and says, "Bye, bye, Mommy!".
