$#)S%*N($(#)O*%#W@#$!!!!!!

I am sooooooooooooooooo sick of SNOW!!!! My children are driving me crazy! It rained , then hailed, and then snowed all within 20 minutes!!! I just replanted my garden yesterday, and I am hoping I won't have to do that again. If it keeps freezing at night though I will be buying more peas, and corn. Payton, and Whyett were such great helpers with it. I got the rows ready, and put the seeds in. Payton pushed the seeds down into the ground, and covered them. Whyett dug them out and replanted them were he thought they should go. I showed them where the walk way was, and Payton understood and did really well. He practically did the splits to straddle the rows like I was doing, it was pretty cute. Whyett on the other hand walked were ever he wanted, but maybe he knows more than I do where the rows are since he was replanting things as Payton, and I went along.
I have learned the hard way though that you DO NOT teach your young kids to weed your garden. Two years ago I got about a hundred dollars worth of flowers for Mothers Day. I decided I needed help with my weed patch, so I showed Evan, and Sam how to weed. Well... about the next day they came and took me outside for a surprise they had for me.....umm yeah, no more flowers. :o{ They were so excited about all their hard work, what I could I do, I couldn't get mad. Needless to say I weed by my self most days.

Hi all!

Wow its been a crazy 2 weeks. Dad, and Susan was here, so everything was quite busy. The kids and I had a great time catching up with them. No doubt the kids will remember this visit. They played games, joked around, and just hung out, it was great! One game (51 card pick up) he had them running around the house to find the complete deck of cards they had scattered. They kept opening new decks trying to fool him, but he said it had to be that deck they scattered. So after finding card from all over the house, and laying them all out to make sure they made a full deck, next comes the part were he scatters them so they can play the last part of the game. As soon as he flips them all over the kitchen floor they just stare at him, then at me. I said Well pick them up you said you will play it to the end. It was hilarious!! They had this look like that was the dirtiest trick they had ever came acrossed!! The next day Dad asked if they wanted to play 51 card pick up again, and they just stared at him and finally said uhh.... no thanks.
