Garden








We decided to plant a garden this year. It was a lot of work but fun too. We already had the space from the previous owners blocked out so it was a no brainer for us to get planting.


The Mister getting the soil ready. (the hard part!)



Little man playing in the dirt!





Starting to look like a garden!




Okra.




Tomatoes!



We also planted cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, peppers and corn.

We're not counting on much to actually grow! ha! But it was fun!

L had fun too. We got out his water table to keep him occupied which then resulted in one muddy little boy. But he had a blast!

We finally made it out to FW to ride the train this weekend.



L actually sat through the 40 minute ride!


Waiting for the train.



Where is the train?




No really. Where is it, Mom?



There it is!!!



It's coming!



Wow! (His latest word!)

Procrastination

What do you procrastinate about?

Me. Chores.
I have a huge list of to-dos. They vary from call so and so. Make this appointment. Wrap gifts.
But then there are chores that move from list to list. Like what? Clean blinds. Clean ceiling fans.

I don't know if it is the change in seasons or what. But right now everything in our house is dirty, dusty and dingy. Are you feeling this as Spring approaches? I have been noticing dust in the most random places but also in places I see everyday....blinds and fans.

Anyway, the main reason I procrastinate from doing those chores is because I think they will take forever so I move on to an easy chore. So after a pep talk I started cleaning the blinds. And you know what? It didn't take me as long as I thought. And I felt better about all the dust and dinginess (is that a word?)

So now on to the fans! ;)

Spring cleaning here I come!

And since I just did the most boring post about cleaning my blinds (at least I am posting!!) I'll leave you with this cuteness!

Whatcha Cookin!

Here it is!

Love this casserole!

One of my favs. L likes it too!

I have posted before. Had to again. Because it's so good.

Chicken, Orzo and Spinach Casserole.
Sorry no pic!

Whatcha Cookin!

Okay. Here is my attempt to post more.
I am hoping this will help everyone who has a cooking "block".

I cook almost every week day. Plan at least one left over and usually have one casserole in there too.

Most are pretty easy. I take great pride in whipping up a quick and delicious dinner. I am kinda like Sandra Lee, I use short cuts and pre-made stuff when I can.

I'll try to post every Monday what I am cooking for the week.
Here is what we ate last night.


Notes: The Hickory BBQ sauce gave it a little kick. So if you don't like spicey or you want to feed the kids then change the sauce type. I also added cherry tomotoes.
