E.T., new plants, Jacks birthday...more of the Daily Show
Lately things have been pretty calm at the Estate, but I have been having a great time with our daily stuff. My Mom brought over some herbs (chives, oregano, and mint), clematis (the purple flower vine), and 5 azaleas that need some rehabbing. The azaleas aren't pictures because they would be embarrassed to be seen now, but hopefully by next Spring they will have bounced back. Josie and I spend lots of time saying nice things to them and watering them. All these new plants has got me finally ready to do our Spring flowerbeds. My annuals are growing great--I have day lilies, amaryllis, hydrangea, and hibiscus that will be blooming soon. Now, I just want to add some color to the front of the house. In other news, Spring Break is over and Liv is headed back to school tomorrow--she is not pleased about the return to school night schedules. Josie is getting ready to start potty training, even though she doesn't know it yet. Kevin wants a new job that doesn't require him to sell anything, so any leads send my way. And me, same ol' same ol'--the way I like it typically. I do want to plan a summer vacay for the family, and one for just me and the husband. Other than that, I am looking forward to doing some more remodeling to finish the bathroom and I wanna get poolside soon. Baby Jack's birthday party was today. Baby Jack turned 4, so we're gonna have to start letting go of that 'Baby' business. Also, he weighs as much as Olivia and wears bigger clothes. Liv has a small height advantage, but prolly not for long. Anyway, the party was a success--pretty simple to do at a kids party. Trampoline+hot dogs+cake+presents=good times. These pics are from Jack's party, some of my blooming plants, Josie showing us a fire truck and the hottest new trend for how to sit in a buggy, the girls (Thing 1 and 2) after a bath, and my fave---you know the scene in E.T. where he is hiding in the closet in the stuffed animals and all you can see is his face...I went to get Josie out of bed after a nap one day last week and she was surrounded by her menagerie of bedmates. She was sleepy enough still that I had time to capture her E.T. moment....complete with a smile.
