Monday musings





Hello,

Just catching up from a busy and good weekend. After letting it warm up a bit, we got our strawberries planted (and picked :) The garden is really taking shape. So far, we have planted strawberries, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, snap peas, lettuce (many kinds), spinach, radishes, squash, cucumbers, and zuchinni. We're hoping to get cantaloupe and pumpkins in this week.

On Friday, took G to therapy, she's having trouble entering new environments, makes deciding about school more difficult. She's also having trouble transitioning between therapists. Eventually, she did warm up and was able to get some work done in the therapy room. Hopefully, each time she'll get better at entering and transitioning. (It's really inspiring to see the kids who come in every Friday a.m. at the same time.) Friday night took number two to a play with friends.

On Saturday, Dad planted all day, while the kids and I mowed. Saturday night Dad had to work prom, boys went with Grandpa, and I got out for a little mom time. (the girls watched the little girls.) On Mother's Day Dad surprised me with donuts, and we did more work getting the garage organized after a long hard winter. We made a lot of progress.

In the kitchen, lotsa spinach salads, we have an abundance.

In the schoolroom, need to resume big kid math, uggh, but we are loving our grammar books.

On the needles, some linen stitch bookmarks, putting it aside a bit in favor of the garden.

This week, some more baseball and softball, also last full week of school for number 1. We also have to work to get Number 2 completed on his service hours for confirmation. Dad also trying to fix trailer.

Thankful for good rain, good kids, being a mom.

That's all for now. Happy, happy Mothers Day (one day late :)
