How we spent our weekend


Hello everyone, hope you are enjoying your Monday so far.
Maddie had a sleepover with her friend Jessica Friday night, and we spent most of the weekend painting our living room and dining room. We finally got rid of those awful green colors!
Our front rooms no longer have that dark, cave-like feel about them. I couldn't be more thrilled! I have included some before and after shots, as well as a picture of Maddie and Jessica.
Reese is in the throes of teething, working on getting number six through any minute now. No sooner did those top teeth come in when he figured out how to grind his teeth. It makes our skin crawl, but he really seems to enjoy it. Ick. He is also walking in his walker, rather than just pushing off with both feet at once. He's pretty quick in that thing!
I started some of my garden seeds last Wednesday, and have been anxious to see something grow. I awoke this morning to a bunch of my pots with tiny little sprouts! It really made my day (along with the bright, cheerful front rooms). I picked up more starter pots this past weekend, so I was able to get my green peppers started this morning. Hopefully I will see something emerging from those in a few days as well.
We are really looking forward to our garden this year. We are growing radishes, carrots, watermelon, pumpkins, yellow squash, zucchini, two kinds of lettuce, green peppers, green beans, peas, cucumbers, early tomatoes, big tomatoes, and Amish paste tomatoes. I planted way too many tomatoes, I'm sure - but I have yet to have a problem using up canned tomatoes so I'm not terribly worried.
Reese probably needs a nap, since he managed only a five minute nap this morning (literally, he slept only five minutes). I better wrap this up now.
I hope you are all doing well and enjoying the spring weather. Take care everyone!
