I signed up for a new food delivery service. It is different than last year's CSA, this is a "local" company (they are based in North VA a few hours away) that delivers to our area on Sundays. I submit my order, which has a million possibilities from produce, dairy, breads, meat, seafood, dips, baked goods, grains/flours, etc. It could end up being very expensive! We opened the door early Sunday morning to find our first order waiting for us. We got the Organic produce bin which included: broccoli, lettuce, chives, lemons, grapefruit, zucchini, celery, carrots, and a green pepper. In addition to that I ordered local, hormone free bacon and milk, local raw honey, and some amazing dates (which Elliot and I are quickly eating).
This is the nest we discovered on Friday after I hacked down a branch that was trying to sprout out of the base of the tree in the front yard. The branch hid the nest pretty well so I didn't know it was there, and then was worried if it would be okay with the branch gone. Saturday night we had tornado warnings and part of the state got hit pretty badly. There was only one egg on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and when we checked early this morning there were 3, now this evening we are up to 4.
Sunday morning was a finish up yard work kind of day, the kids got themselves ready. Elliot wore neither of these pajama pieces to bed the night before- but picked them out and put them on for working, complete with boots on the wrong feet!
How this little curb provided so much entertainment? it's the simple things. Gabby is wearing size 2t cutoffs (the button kept popping open) a white tank and pink Seattle Mariner's hoodie.
The perfect little nest!
This is the first nest we found, and have been keeping an eye on. It lives right outside the window of the computer room- on our utility box. Elliot loves to open the blinds and "scare away!" Plus at least once a day we have to scare her away from outside to check and see if there are still 4 eggs!
apples for a snack before bed.
I had to light the candle a few times, we couldn't get thru the Happy Birthday song before he blew it out!
We got E a bubble lawn mower, he loves it. He may stand at the door "mow, mow!"
The BIG blue balloon, it is HUGE. Literally it is like 3 feet wide. We were worried it would carry the kids off!
Sporting his new Mariners jersey, we now have two shirts in rotation! Ball shirt and ball shorts are all the 2 year old boy wants to wear!
Out of order, but a few days before his birthday he had a fall while climbing the ladder at the park. A mouth full of blood, but by the time we rushed the half a block home he seemed fine- I was a wreck! It was hard to tell where he bumped at first, teeth, tongue, lip- it was the lip and a scratch on the top gums. The lip got pretty puffy and bled a few more times during the day. I called the Dr and the dentist, but all was fine after a few popsicles!
Our nest had babies! I stalked the window to get this shot. Sadly we haven't seen them in almost a week. Since the day after a BIG thunder and rain storm the nest has been quiet, sad.
No cute jammies, just the clothes they had worn to dye eggs in last night after a busy hot day at a friend's birthday party- complete with a jumpy house.
How cute are these beach bunnies? Today was amazing, 87* and couldn't have been more beautiful!
So what if it is April, this girl loved the being in the water- it was a tiny bit chilly but felt good with the hot sun.
Our friends Gina and Seth joined us, and the kids played so well. I got to chat with Gina, and Clay fished.
I love this picture, the reflections are so great! E is really into being naked, took his shorts off to pee and wouldn't put them back on! I can't resist cute baby buns anyway!
We took G to her cooking class, he fell asleep just as we got there but as soon as I got him out of the car to bring her in for class he woke up. We didn't have big plans since we were busy all morning and had just gotten a ton of groceries. Next to "cooking school" is a kids hair salon (where we went once before). E sat pretty well, wanted out of his yellow taxi a few times but mostly because he was tired. She took off a lot of hair, and all of a sudden my little boy is looking even more like the big 2 year old he is going to be!
The scowl has been seen more lately, along with the start of tantrums! No nap today made for a very early bed time, but a big tired fit was the prelude to sleep! Summer will be perfect for potty training, he already showed us he is a true boy, peeing outside!
