Settling in to Sunday

The kids are starting to adjust to big brother being away at camp.  We have only had about 52 comments on the lines of "I miss Rob" and "I wonder what Rob is doing now."  But no tears and I have just focussed on the things we can share with him when he gets home. 

I took Lissa's braids out and re-did her hair.  She was good about sitting and i was done in maybe an hour or so.  Right now she has two pigtails that i then divided into two twists for each pony and then hitched together with a ponytail holder at the bottom.  Hard to explain but looks really cute.

We got Lissa new shoes today, which is always interesting.  We always get great service and I can't decide if that is because in this economic climate customers are more highly valued or whether my noisy little tribe so disturbs the ambience that they do all in their power to move us along.  Whatever the reason she is now the proud owner of a pair of very glittery pink and orange sneakers.

We weeded up at our garden.  It is looking great and we are very proud of the fact that all our plants were started from seed.  Well all plants start from seeds but most people buy seedlings.  We are the only folks who community garden who can proudly proclaim that our 36 tomato plants started as seeds in our house.  Likewise we direct planted our indian corn, KC's pumpkin, and our squash.  Our plants look every bit as big as the folks who bought seedlings at the big box stores. 

We bought fabric for the kids for their 4th of July ideas.  And at the same store, KC found some popcorn boxes that he wanted for his carnival next month.  I also rounded up the addresses of his friends so that we could send out invitations this week.

Lissa and I made lemonade as it is really hot today.  And KC and Lissa and I then made peanut butter cookies because--well life is just better with a freshly made peanut butter cookie!

Good job on getting the seeds to do so well.
