This weekend has been rainy and freezing....well, freezing to me anyway! Going from the 80's at the beginning of the week to the 40's today has not set well with my blood! I'm a Summer Girl all the way!
We have also been doing more indoor projects today. I have started painting the big boys wall (partial). I am trying to cover up a pirate map mural that they have grown out of. I leveled out a rectangle and tapped it off to paint. I am painting it red, but it is not covering very well even after 4 coats. I have worked with red before and it is tricky!So New Plan.... Tomorrow I am going to go buy some black chalk board paint and then after it dries we will add frame around it. The boys want to put all their plaques and pictures in the framed out area....When this is finished I will takes some pictures of it too. Maybe some before and after pictures. Karlton has been putting in a new attic access door/stairs today since the old (60 yrs old) one broke and has not been safe. Once he is done with that, I will have to paint it too.
The last 4 week ends we have been working outside in the yard, garden, and Karlton has been building me a new out building since he tore mine down last year. So, it has actually been nice doing indoor projects this weekend. Karlton and Jordan put in 3 above ground garden beds and so far I have planted 2 of them. I have planted Strawberries, several different kinds of lettuce, cabbage, collard greens, broccoli, and 1 bed I planted corn. In the last bed I will plant potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, and peppers. I thought I was going to plant everything but the tomatoes today but with the rain, I will wait another day ;0) For now I have 5 tomatoe plants growing in my bedroom in front of our french doors. lol....

Your Paris trip sounds SO exciting!! How did the 10-year birthday trip tradition start? Where did you go with your first two sons?
Sounds like you have been quite busy in your garden & are going to have a bountiful harvest this summer!!
I sure hope so Melanie. The 2 oldest boys went with me to Guatemala on thier 10th Birthdays. I had scheduled trip to see the girls and I could not bear to leave them home on their birthdays so I took them with me. Plus I also figured they were old enough to experience other parts of the World and always remember it. Josiah actually went and we brought Lilee home 2 days after his B/D he was so proud! Joel's B/D was Feb. 28th and he wanted to go to Paris with us when no one else did. So this is what he gets
to do. Hopefully we will get to keep the tradition going with the girls too. Thanks for asking!
so glad you are finally getting your trip!!! you will have so much fun!
Oh I hope so Jodi! I am so excited! I just pray everything works out and no one get sick or it does not rain the entire time we are there! Europe is pretty rainy this time of yr.
