I have been trying not to watch so much TV..not so much watch it but not having it on all the time. I usually have it on Nick during the day and the kids just watch it every now and then. It is basically just noise...like we need more. Yesterday I turned it off at 12:30 when we started our school time. We didn't turn it back on until after 7:00. Paul and Justin played Dora with Emily. She has gotten really good at playing pretend since Cathryn started coming, sometimes they fight over a pretend toy! Emily was Dora of course, Justin was Boots, and Paul was Swipper. They made a jail for Swipper with the bar stools, Paul drew them a map complete with a river to cross. All over the house they ran and played for over an hour. Emily pretended to be rowing while scooting her butt on the floor to cross the river and then would get up and cheer cause they "did it"! It was so cute and I wish I would have gotten a video. Paul sure enjoyed that much more than watching the news!
I am sitting here surfing the net planning my spring garden. I think that I am going to try my hand some early crops like lettuce and spinach. I have found some ideas on how to keep them warm and protect them from freezes. I also am going to try to start seedlings this year instead of buying the plants. They are over priced anyway! I found an idea on using newspaper to make seedling pots. You can just plant the newspaper and all. Here are a few links to the articles and sites I have found helpful...for my memory as well as for your reference if you want.
Tipnut is my 1st go to site for everything! They have craft patterns, recipes and links to any kind of article you are looking for.
I have lots of want to and I'm not sure how much can do I have. I want to make a compost pile, some flower gardens, and I need to paint the porch, replace the post that Paul hit with the tractor...etc. Oh and anyone know how to keep chickens off the porch? I love the eggs but and so TIRED of all the chicken poop. They love to gather right outside the door and make such a mess...and this was Jason's and Paul's brain child that I take care of. Oh well! Well have a great day!!
