Growing Veggies

We are growing our veggies! Or we are at least going to try to - ha! I have been trying really really hard to get Gracie to eat or even taste veggies. For Mother's Day last year, Kenny and kids bought me a small ready to make garden. We had some work done in the back yard to work on some drainage issues, I had a bed put in especially for a family garden. The kids were extremely excited and were on board 100% with helping. We purchased a small greenhouse from Home Depot to start out seeds. Gracie even said she would taste some of our veggies when harvested. WE SHALL SEE! We have planted Cucumbers, Green Beans, Broccoli, Tomatos, Corn, Bell Peppers, Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Basil, Oregano. Aren't these labels adorable? Gracie made them herself.

Spring Break Day Five

For our last official day of Spring Break, we heated up the pool and enjoyed the day with family. The day didn't start off so good as we had to replace our water heater ASAP. We had been running out of hot water in the master bath (were I bathe my babies) and I was getting pretty tired of hauling hot water from the kitchen. Every time I did it, I remembered the days we used to visit my Grandma in Mexico. Anyhow, called someone out and they said we were lucky we had not had a fire. LORDY....really? Scared me to death. Of course, Kenny is out of town so we have to try to figure this out by phone. The company I had originally come out gave me a quote of $1011 - OUCH. So I call Home Depot and Lowes. Lowes prices were so much better so I haul down there to sign the paperwork. As I am paying, they are on their way to install the new water heater. Thank God!
