Can we go outside? (more on that title in a minute) Anyway, it’s finally spring! So I think that means it’s time to celebrate! Thank goodness for warm weather. Last night we were able to enjoy the evening with a walk around the block and an attempt to fly a kite… although the breeze had died down and our sailboat kite required a bit more wind than we could provide just by running. Perhaps we’ll try again today, after we plant the garden! The girls are napping right now (Eden is a bit grumpy because it’s no fun having 4 teeth grow in at the same time, while Averhy is fighting a cough) but I’m expecting them to wake up any minute now and be ready to go outside. We’re going to grow some tomatoes again this year, along with whatever else we can squeeze into the garden. We went to the store this morning (in our new-to-us minivan! But that’s a story for another blog day) and we bought seeds for carrots, onions, peppers, and a ton of flowers… but since we’ve allowed the strawberries to take over half of the garden, I’m pretty sure not all of the seeds we bought will fit! (Okay I can’t figure out how to rotate this image. but you get the gist of it…)
Oh, and just a little funny… one of Averhy’s most common phrases is “I love you, but…” as in “Mom, I love you, but… can I have a Nemo fruit snack?” or “Mom, I really love you so much, but is tonight movie night?” …I think the phrase usually prefaces a request she’s hoping I’ll say “yes” to! Cute.
Well, there’s Eden starting to squawk… so outside we go!
