sick, sick, sick

yes, we've all had our rounds of sicknesses lately. so there's not much to blog about. you don't want to see pictures of green noses, runny diapers, grouchy kids, do you? we all are better now, but really i have nothing to report. we had a few days of really warm weather and playing outside. today we're freezing, under 40 degrees.

i am happy to report that we are finally starting a vegetable garden this spring after being here for 4 years. every year, i've said this is the year to start. and then the year goes by. i have kai on my back now. he's so hilarious. when we started planning what to grow he requested almost all things he doesn't like (tomatoes and potatoes). tell me how i birthed two kids who do not like potatoes. not any way - baked, mashed, boiled, fried. it's epic i tell you. i could eat a vat of them every day, any way. i'm always buying and cooking them hoping some day maybe they will break.

i'm looking forward to the growing process, and to share some of our garden successes and failures, etc. with you. right now i'm killing off the grass in the back in a roughly 6'X10' plot. i covered it with a tarp and i'm hoping that it will die in a few weeks then we can just till. anyway, the seeds we ordered and hopefully will grow are: tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, squash, beans, peppers, chard, broccoli, pumpkins. too much you say? andy thinks so.
