Well, I now have a row of beautiful little sweet peas and 2 rows of broccoli. I hope everything lives! I plan on planting my mammoth sunflowers this weekend and might transplant my potatoes too. Josh didn't think they were big enough yesterday. I also had to work some more on that stinkin' rock garden yesterday. It seems that the system of roots and bulbs was more extensive that I first knew. I had about 20 *new* sprouts coming up and had to pull up another wheelbarrow load of junk. I think I have it all now finally.

I have suddenly developed an aversion to meat. I'm not sure why but its a good time, J needs to lose weight and I think more veggies in our life will be good for all of us.

Dawson just cut 4 new teeth. fun! He's also coming down with another illness of somesort. Its a cold but for whatever reason he has the hardest time fighting off even little things so I'm going to see what a chiro adjustment can do for him this time. I really like this chiro. She is anti-vax and pro-alternative med. When I told her that I was having a homebirth she thought that was awesome.

Megan is memorizing the songs and dances from her Barney tapes. Its amazing what their little minds absorb. Of course not many of the words she sings are clear, but its cute the way she mumbles through the songs. She loves Barney unfortunatly. Watching the kids on those tapes is funny to me because I think I could have been one of them. LOL! I was a dorky kid. Always bobbing my head and acting cheezy. Lucy, the older girl from the first set of kids really gets into it. Its like shes hoping to be discovered or something. Then there are some kids here and there that don't seem to have a whole lot of talent.

We all spent the day yesterday working in the yard and house again. I had Josh haul off 5 loads of rocks out of that rock garden. All that remains is one rose bush that I can live with and the tiny pebbles that are probably a foot deep. I'm gonna get rid of as much as possible and then pile some organic soil on top I think. I want to add a few flowering bushes and some iris out there but that will have to wait until later. I'm just glad to have gotten rid of as much garbage as I did! Accomplishment is a good thing.

{goes off to clean up the house and plan a Botox party. :-P}
