Memorial Day Weekend Part 1

Memorial Day Weekend is a success so far and it is only Monday morning. Lets start off by sharing these adorable pictures of Samuel eating a cookie and rolling on the floor laughing. It is not the cookie he is laughing about, it is that he is so exhausted after playing all day with two little boys we watched for some friends.

Jake built and launched a rocket on Saturday. The kids all thought it was neat. Funny enough on the 1st real launch I corralled our children plus the extras we were watching onto the stairs and in my lap so we would not get hit with the rocket, and somehow the rocket was angled just right so it flew over our heads, spilled 2 liters of water all over us and we didn't get to see the rocket flying about 100 feet up.
Don't worry we tried some more and managed to not get wet those times.
Kate flies the rocket through the air.


Kate and Crystal making silly faces. Kate made hers all by herself and searched all through her craft box just to find the last two googly eyes because she wanted real eyes.

Working in the garden. We put the last of the starts in the garden this morning. Hopefully we are freeze free from here on out. Though we moved the garden this spring so we could have a bigger plot it is still not big enough. I have plants way to close together. It is going to end up like a jungle in there, but oh well. We have ten tomatoe plants, 4 zucchinni plants, 4 pumpkin plants, 8 peppers plants, 4 potatoe starts, 12 pea plants, 5 green bean starts, 8 corn starts, 5 garlic plants, 10 strawberry plants and about 50 onions all successfully growing at this point. I am looking forward to making and canning delicious salsa, Kate keeps telling me she is going to eat all that healthy food.
