Heading into March

Our weekend. 
Filled with family, laughter and fun.

Saturday, dad had to work all day so I was brave and took all three kids to the aquarium. We spent hours walking around looking at the sea creatures. I have to say my personal favorites are definitely the beluga whales, octopus and I just love the jellyfish. Some of the beluga whales have the best personalities and like to play around with you through the glass, I could sit there for hours watching them if the kids let me.

 Every time we've been to the aquarium in the past the octopus was always hiding in the corner, but this time he put on a show for us and it was really really neat to see it. 

Saturday night we went to my father in laws for a February picnic, bonfire and smores! The kids played with their aunts, uncles and cousins and it was a good enjoyable time.

Sunday we knocked out grocery shopping in the morning and I got the boys new RC cars to play with outside and they were so excited to use them. We took the bunny and the cars down to the park for a little while in the afternoon. The boys can't wait to come home from school today to use them- the cars are charging up and waiting for them! 

Sunday night we had my parents and Ben's dad over for a nice salmon/ cod dinner and it was delicious! 

Today, March 2nd is Dr. Seuss' Birthday and the kids are celebrating that at school. I made them some homemade t-shirts involving markers, matte gel and a printer. My first time transferring something onto a t-shirt, which was successful besides me using to much matte gel and it leaving a big white spot on the shirt, but we think it looks cool like that- so it was successful!! 

Hope you all enjoyed yourselves this weekend! The weather is warming up here and flowers are even starting to bloom. I am so excited for spring!!

Shortest Month

It’s February!! - well the end anyways!!! The shortest month. Last week we woke up to heavy snow pounding down. This time of year is always deceitful, just when we think our part of the world is that much closer to spring-  the temps drop to chilling and a blizzard hits. Heavy snow that lasts until the sun shines bright each day and slowly melts away. At least there has been sunshine! Wonderful, wonderful sunshine that helps us survive through these dark months and guides us back into the light.  We've been doing a lot of house cleaning and greenhouse visits. Monday and Tuesday there was no school, so we hung out, were lazy, cooked good food. I started writing this as the kids skated around in circles at the ice rink. It was the last day open for the season. When things come to an end, they make room for new beginnings- like spring of course! But now, I’m finishing writing this a few days later. It was a short week, but it feels soooo long. We are ready for the weekend!  ...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...

I write.

What an absolutely beautiful life.  Sitting on our front porch with my head on your shoulder, you turn to me and say “look at this little life we’ve built.” 💕  It’s been almost 7 months since I last blogged, so many times I wrote and never finished. I'm always writing. Always writing whats in my heart or mind. I write to express myself, whether it be my wedding vows or about my son's football team winning the youth Super Bowl . I twist and turn the words until they make sense and are ready for me to share out into the world. I used to paint, scrapbook, write poetry and have a ton of other hobbies to pass the time, but for now I just write and take as many pictures as I can. I'm busy building life, homemaking, home schooling, working when I do, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend and raising my three children- and that to me is the most beautiful poetic thing I can think of.  Someday, there will be time to paint, to travel, but right now, I'm exactly wher...
