May

It's hard to believe we're already into the month of May!!!  We were spoiled with a mild(er) winter, so we've been enjoying some spring-like days for quite awhile.  Don't worry, we're having our share of typical spring days: cool and rainy. 

The nicer weather finds us outside as often as possible.  Riding bikes, nature walks in the woods, cleaning up the brush in the woods, (trans)planting trees/plants, prepping the garden. Speaking of gardens, we're looking forward to having a nice size garden this year.  Carolyn especially is very eager and willing to help.  The other three are excited as well, talking about what they want to plant and how yummy the food will be.  Lets hope the excitement continues all the way thru harvest time! :)

Daddy has been staying busy with trucking.  In his spare time he hits the studio to work on his new album project.  As for me, I stay occupied with cooking, cleaning, laundry, homeschooling and all the other day-to-day activies. But lucky for me, I love my job, so it's all good!

 This not-so-little-boy......

has been full of it lately.

Today he tried on his too-small shoes.  Naturally they were too tight.  So he promptly placed them on the front porch steps.  He told me to leave them there.  "The sun will make them grow bigger!"

Benji happens to have the exact same style (sizes bigger of course).  So I sneakily switched the 2 pair.  Now the shoes are too big, so they are sitting in the house shade to get smaller.

I have very good intentions of updating this blog with pictures and our latest happenings.  But before I know it, a week or more has passed with nothing to show for it on my blog.   {eeps}  I'd like to say and promise I'll be better at blogging, but we both know I won't hold my end of the bargain up.  But I do have some lots of pictures to share, so check back in a few.  hours.  days.  weeks....
