We planted a garden for the first time in our married life.
Its a square foot garden...
quite small.
we fought a good fight,
but in the end...
few survived.
We were a little late getting started
and a little unprepared for scortching sun rays.
We weren't sure what would make it
and what wouldn't...
now we know.
The other day we were at the store
and Kade dropped (and broke)
a wooden giraffe.
The store manager told him
not to worry about it.
So as Kade said that day..."Live and learn".
I decided to move my herbs inside
since for the first time in my married life I have a big
kitchen window...the perfect fix.
Now for the cooler planting seasons...let's do this!
This weekend Soph took an elbow to the face
It's been a long, hot, dry summer.
We did our best,we fought a good fight,
but in the end...

and ended up with a black eye.
She's small but she's scrappy.
With two older brothers and a wrestler for a father,
the girl loves to throw down!
{Other Happenings}
Kade's staff infection went away thanks to nurse Sophia. She made sure he took his meds on time 2x a day...for 10 days!
She also did ballet to the church hymns during sacrament meeting, and part of me wants to just let her dance!
I got asked out on a hot date...turns out we ended up watching college football at a sports bar that just happened to have 26 flat screens. Hmmm. It was fun though.
Jaxon turns twelve at the end of the month...my stomach hurts just thinking about it.
I finished reading Emma, I thought it was slow...but I'm a sucker for romance so all's well that ends well. I'm reading Robinson Crusoe with Kade. I really like it, I love that classics deliver good morals while building our vocabulary and stretching our reading abilities. It's a tough read for Kade but I know he can do it and he's actually enjoying the book too. He's becoming a great reader.
My good Nikon camera's not working, I'm crossing my fingers I can fix it.
On a brighter note: I realized the other day we'll be in New York the same week the Vikings are playing the Jets...I can't believe what a lucky coincidence that is, so looks like we're going to two Vikings games this year...I can't wait!!!

I can so relate to the not-so-green-thumb. My senior mom is the gardening expert in my family. She is the one who made the Sunflower House activities for grandparents and their grandchildren this summer look sooo good. That and my easy to use digital camera. :) :) :) Enjoyed your sweet shot (s) for Tuesday :)
ReplyDeletePoor Soph... but such a sweet smile! :) I think a green thumb comes with time. I love gardening now... a few years ago I could barely keep my flowers alive!
ReplyDeletePoor Sophia! My daughter is quite the tom-boy as well! She wants to be IN on ALL the action around here!! That is what older brother do! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you coming to NYC? I'm in upstate!! :)
