Spiderman is in the house!

Relaxing after long day of rescuing friends and family

Big G's new thing is Action Heros, Spiderman specifically. There is always a new "thing" that he is into, so not knowing what next week may bring, I had to get a bit creative and find things around the house to help him with his playtime. So with a paper plate, watercolor paints, a PJ top and long pants, rainboots and winter gloves, Spider man was in full form Saturday Night. Here is Spidey shooting his web and striking a pose for the camera. (I always wondered why I had to take a college art class, now I know why - to make Spiderman paper plate masks - who knew?!)

And How Does Your Garden Grow?

Here is our Romaine Lettuce, Sweet and Hot Banana Peppers, Green Beans & Squash

I was so excited, we went out back the other day to check on the garden and we were actually able to pick some of our veggies. It is so exciting, everything is growing so well. The plants are taking over to be quite honest. But in a few weeks we will have tomatoes that will be ready to pick. Check out the yield thus far. Now I have to get some good recipes. Here's to good health!

Seems like yesterday that we were posing with Big G on his 1st birthday! Amazing!

The glorious act of getting into her cake. She loved it and was quite content to sit there and eat! We had a great time celebrating Little G's birthday. She had about 55 people here throughout the day to celebrated with her. She received many new and fun toys that she has been enjoying. What a fun day. Thanks Aunt Angie for all the decorations. It made the party very festive! Happy Birthday little one ~ you are so loved!
