Garden Update

I tend to take most of my pictures with my iphone because it's so handy and so easy to take a picture and then upload it onto my blogger app.

it cuts so much time, when i feel like i have so many other things going on right now, so instead of using my better camera and uploading it on the computer and then onto blogger i just whip out my phone.

but that means... low quality pictures. eh.

 

right now this is what i have time for. iphone pics.

 

 

bubba built a little homemade trellis for the sweet pea flowers that rowan has chosen to grow.

she planted the seeds in the pots and we started them inside and put them outside last week.

she also planted some purple flower seeds, morning glorys maybe?

 

bubba also put together a trellis for my sugar snap peas! yay!

i started them inside awhile back.

i'm so excited to actually have something for them to grow up this year.

last year i had some makeshift thing and they grew all funny.

hoping this year we get more harvest from a better set up.

 

oh geez. i have never planted or even seen asparagus growing. i had no idea what they even looked like growing. and then i bought these 2 year old asparagus roots. and had NO IDEA what to do with them.

after attempting to plant them and looking at them thinking "this can't be right" so then google HERE I COME.

and thank goodness.. seriously.

i'm not even sure that my set up is right STILL.

but it looks a LOT better then what i had before.

oh my. we shall what happens.. ha.

 

my "trench"

 

one day i will get the hang of this gardening thing.

can't learn unless you try

Fire station field trip.

Rowan was really excited to go to her fire station field right before spring break!

 

being as she was the one who wouldn't stop talking and telling stories, she became the volunteer!

She had a great time and so did bubba and i. i was really glad that he got to go along because he missed out on the pumpkin patch field trip when he was in afghanistan.

happy girl.

Sunny Day.

We had a great day out at the park the other day.

it actually felt like spring, almost summer being here in WA!

 

65 degrees for 7 hours..

 

 

sunburnt. in march. in washington. awesome!

 

me and my lady. right out of the bath

 

she's soooo sweet when she sleeps.

however, sometimes she can be a bit creepy.

she does this thing with her eyes where they are part open and you can see her eyes moving and you think she is faking it, but she's really zonked out cold sleeping.

but she's still cute.

Circus party supplies

Bubba took the week off last week from work. And during the week we noticed that his windshield got a huge crack across it. so while we were waiting for the windshield to be replaced we ran over to party city and grabbed some supplies for the upcoming partay!

 

we found this super cute lion pinata. we figured it's way too small for all of our goodies but we couldn't justify spending $35 on the bigger pinata. this one was only $15. yay!

so bubba thought we would just throw the extra out once the pinata was broken.

 

i finally found some mustard and ketchup bottles that i was looking for, at a pretty price from a party store, but it was one of the things i really wanted.

and we found this great section of circus supplies, but it was for a 1st birthday. boo!

i did manage to get these cute cutouts that i will attach to a wall or some of the game setups. there are a couple of them that have "I'm ONE" or something, but we will just put a five there or not use that one.

 

i'm so excited about these! i found all of these from oriental trading!

gummy lips and gummy moustaches. love them!

and finger tattoos! these will either go inside of the water balloons that we are filling up for the dart game or to go with the face painting table.. not sure yet.

 

and these suckers. oh my!! they are SO cute! i just love them.

i'm so glad i ordered them.

who needs animal crackers when you can have animal suckers?!

 

these are some of the goodies that we picked up for the pinata.

it was so fun to be able to pick out from their assortment all of the ones that we thought were fun!

 

and lastly, for now, our noise makers!! instead of the traditional noise makers or party blowers, we went with lip whistles and these other things that are whirly and twirly and loud!

 

as this party nears, i'm getting excited, but overwhelmed with what is left to do.

rowan is very excited for this party and so am i!
