From this
To this
Bad, bad
I’ve been meaning to post for daaaayyyyssss now. Here’s a little snippet of the latest garden bloomer until I get more than a few minutes to actually sit and write a proper post…..
Garden
A few days of rain followed by a few days of sun has brought some growth to the garden. Seeds are starting to pop.
beans are starting their climb
Tomatos are flowering and one little tomato has begun
lettuce has started
and so have the radishes
And found this guy. The boys love finding snails, but I hear they can be a real menace to your garden.
The garden
Anyone know what this tree might be and what those pods are? I’ve been googling popular trees in Southern Ontario but am not having much luck yet…..
The apples are starting to bud. I’m starting to think though that they are crab apples in which case they will be more of a mess than anythign else.
And something is enjoying our beans. Arg!
I’m trying to do beans, tomato, peppers, radishes, 1 cucumber, lettuce and peas. This will definitly be a learning process for me as I’ve never done more than peppers and tomatoes.
And from around the rest of the back yard
Apple tree maybe?
And….. I’m back
Phew… that was I think the longest break from blogging I’ve taken. This moving thing is quite the job. I’ve found myself thinking “oh, I’m going to go blog about that” and then my day flies past and before I know it I’m in bed. So I have a lot of catching up to do. A lot has happened in the last …. what?…. 6 weeks. Here we go:
I thought I’d start off lite and begin with a few cute/funny pics. We just adopted a new friend for Tigger on Saturday. She is an absolute sweet heart. All we know is she’s 9 months old and a medium hair. We’ve named her Boo. Cooper is absolutely in love with her and so is Carter for that matter. She’s very gentle and doesn’t run when Carter comes barrelling after her in excitement. For only being here 3 days, she’s fitting in just great. I think Tigg’s even likes her.
Aren’t they incredibly cute at bath time?
and incredibly mad when wet?
Memories
This picture couldn’t be more appropriate to post today. This is Cooper 1 day old in the outfit she knitted him.
Today Cooper turns 4. My little man.
Today Nanny passed away.
Run down
A run down of what’s been keeping from here:
Nanny is declining rapidly.
Father in law going in for open heart surgery on Friday to repair 3 major arteries.
My mom’s birthday is tomorrow.
My 5 year wedding anniversary is on Friday.
My mom and Cooper’s family birthday party on Saturday.
Cooper’s bowling party with his friends on Sunday.
Cooper’s actual birthday- next Wednesday.
The house still isn’t sold. The new house is freshly painted but had a family of raccoons dig 3 big holes into our roof in trying to find a spot to have their babies.
I haven’t slept more than 2 hours at a time this week because both boys have different issues going on that’s been waking them up at night.
Ugh. Sigh. Moan. Groan.
An actual post with proper content coming soon. Actually I’ve all ready started typing it.
I love “almost 4yrs old.”.
It’s first thing in the morning. Not even half way through my coffee yet. I don’t usually blog this early but I just had to blog this little snippet to give a giggle. It’s been one of those mornings where when I woke up and my blankets were just so. Perfectly wrapped around me. I wasn’t too hot, or too cold. My pillow was just right too. Rain pittering on the window. Most mornings I wake up to Carter yelling to get out of his room so he can get his morning drink of orange juice. I swear it’s his equivelant to coffee because he can not go without it and it has to be right when he wakes up. He can’t function without it. Anyway, back to me laying in my bed, basking in the cozyness, listening to the rain drops on the window. I’m thinking ”ohhh… this is so lovely!!! Everything is quiet, I’m going to enjoy this for as long as I can until everyone wakes up”. I roll over and get even more comfortable.
Then I hear whispering in my room. Now Cooper is always the first one up so he just comes to our bed and we put on the cartoon channel until everyone else wakes up. We’re usually 20 mins behind him. But this monring when I opened my eyes it was quiet. No Cooper beside my bed. No Cooper in my bed. But I hear whispering . I listen, trying to not let him know I’m awake and I hear him saying “I’m bigger than Carter! I am NOT afraid of the dark! I’m bigger than Carter! I am not afraid of the dark!” and he runs as fast he can into my bathroom, grabs a tissue and runs back out. Then triumphantly (sp?) but quietly as to not wake anyone he whispers to himself “Yes! I did it. I’m a big boy”.
I giggled to myself and relished that moment. And when he got to the side of my bed I greeted him with “good morning my big boy” and the smile on his face that he just conquered a fear was absolutely priceless. I love moments like these.
Now I’m off to drop them at nursery school. Hope you all have a good day

Family day? More like sick day
I was going to post about how nice this long weekend was. It’s a holiday called “family day” that just came out last year. We did get out for a date on Saturday for Valentine’s Day to the hockey game which was a blast and a long awaited engagement got announced on Friday too so the start of the long weekend was good. But not the last half…… we all have the flu! The boys are sitting at 103 degrees fevers, coughs and poor Carter threw up all over his bed stuffed animals and had to go to bed without them because they were in the wash. Cooper is fevering and coughing and hubby and I just keep asking each other what happened to this house? We’re all hopped up on tylenol which is only taking the edge off the fevers but helping with the bone aches and hopefully we’ll all get some good sleep tonight and be on the mend by tomorrow. Cooper’s been saying funny stuff in his delerious state and Carter actually sat cuddled in his blanket for over 30 minutes watching tv. He never sits for more than 10 without getting up and moving around so you know something is wrong if he does.
On a positive note: we should all start to feel better around the same time *hopefully* so if we’re going to be sick, at least it’s together. We can all moan and groan, wrapped up in our blankets and sympathize and cuddle one another until we’re better.
I hope sickness stayed away from your weekend and that you had a good valentine’s day.
