The Garden is Growing!

Before and After

First Peppers

Here are the first peppers from our garden. I know we are dorks, but we are so proud and they were very yummy. We made a mushroom and pepper risotto with the first two. Then the second two peppers we added to black beans and they were delicious. Here is a proud papa and a proud sissy holding our treasures!

Summer Time

Summer is finally here and we have headed out doors. Bill and I took the kids to Toys R Us last weekend and bought them a sand/water table. We also got a pool with a slide which is probably going to make our water bill sky rocket because I get daily request to get in the pool. For those of you who are green you'll be happy to know that we use the extra water in our garden and flowers.

We Love to Paint!

Being an ex-teacher and having 2 small toddlers, I get a wild hair every now and then and try to do some kind of art activity. Painting days are my really ambitious days! Caitlin is a really good painter and pretty good at the mechanics of it all, but Harrison "our little Billy Goat" is another story. He loves to eat paper, crayons, dirt, sand, and paint is no different. You have to watch him like a hawk or our entire house would be eaten.
