Bed Time

So our normal bedtime routine for the kids is: brush your teeth, go potty, give the other parent a hug and kiss, the other parent takes them up, says prayers, reads them a story, tucks them in.  Every night.  Well if we happen to get home late, we skip the story.  Last night we got home late and they went potty and we tucked them in.  Well, within 5 minutes both kids were yelling down to us because they didn't get to say their prayers.  Neither of them asked for a story (which they love their stories), but both had to say their prayers to be able to fall asleep.  This makes my heart very happy! :-)

Garden update

Well so far we have eaten romaine lettuce, broccoli and strawberries out of our garden. It's doing surprisingly well, as it looks like everything that we planted is coming up and growing like crazy!! We planted broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, onions, Brussels sprouts and strawberries all from plants about the second week in. May. The Thursday before Memorial weekend we planted: seeds-peas, carrots, beets, green beans, wax beans, cucumbers, zucchini; plants-watermelon, muskmelon, buttercup squash, green peppers, habanero peppers, tomatoes. I think that's it!

The kids are having fun with it as are Tom and I. It looks like we will have lots of canning to do! Yah!!
