I Guess I Jumped the Gun!

Winter has returned! We have half an inch of snow and it is still coming down! Last week I was ready to plant my veggie garden. Good thing I didn't, everything would have died! I did start some tomatoes and peas in the house about two weeks ago. The tomatoes are fine but the peas are a foot and a half tall. I don't know what to do with them, they need support but I can''t put them out in the snow! I guess they will just be a bit tangled together.

Easter Pictures (I'll add more later; Pat wants on the computer)

Spring!

Some Recent Pictures (O.K. Maybe There Are a Lot!)

Here are some pictures from the last week. Great Grampa Happy Sent the kids Easter baskets. They were full of candy and toys! Connor and Laura discovered that they can work the cd player that is under the kitchen table so now they sit under there to listen to music. Sophie doesn't like to miss out on any of the action and gets right in there with them. Today Connor, Laura and Patrick were in a wedding. They all looked so good. Connor and Laura had so much fun. During the reception, they found a bunch of ladybugs. Connor walked around with one for about ten minutes!

Almost A MONTH!

How the time does fly! I can't believe it has been so long since I posted anything. The children and I spent just over a week up on Vancouver island. We spent two days with Emma and her little family and six days at Mom and Dad's. It was great to get to see every body. We got to go see Diana, Mary and Brock preform in the music festival. They all did very well and sang beautifully. Bettina and her two little ones came over for a visit one day while we were there. It is really fun to get together with them because her little boy, Casey is just one day older than Connor and they are so similar! Her daughter is about two weeks older than Sophie and it's neat to see how they are both growing.
Since we got home life has been pretty low key. We all have had little sinus colds. We made a trip to the children's museum and went swimming one night. Other than a few errands we haven't really done much lately.
I will admit that I was struck with a case of spring cleaning ( yes, I know it's still winter but it was sunny. O.K.!) I cleaned the living room and our bed room and rearranged the furniture. I had to get rid of the clutter that seams to grow so rapidly in a small house. Pat doesn't like the way I rearranged things. I said he should give it a try for a while and maybe he'll get used to it. Some of it doesn't work too well. There really is no good place in the whole house for our computer. It is on the coffee table in the living room right now. It used to be on an ugly, rickety old desk in our room but that didn't work well either. I would like to get an armoire to put it in for in the living room. That way I could close it all up and not have to see it!
Connor and Laura watch a move recently called "Summer of the Monkeys". The main character and a boy and a girl named Jay-Barry and Daisy. Now half the time I don't know who my children are. I'll call them by their names and they will quickly correct me with "No, I'm not Laura, I'm Daisy and Connor is Jay-Barry. We are playing Summer of the Monkeys!"
