Signs of Spring

This year I decided to start my seedlings at home instead of at my friend's house because I needed to learn how to do it. It actually isn't that hard to do. We bought the greenhouse style pods and a grow light. Max "helped" me fill the pods with dirt and plant the seeds. Mostly he got dirt everywhere...but it was great fun and the seeds sprouted anyway. Isn't nature grand? To anyone who cares (not Jered) we are growing three types of zinnias (pictured), basil, chives, morning glories, butterfly flower, Mexican sunflowers, nasturtiums (again), purple cornflower, hollyhocks, dill, and lavender. For bulbs we have hosta, lilies, and peonies. Now the weather just needs to warm up a bit and we can get these babies in the ground. I'm sure Max will want to help me.

Happy Spring Forward!

Today is the day we all moved our clocks ahead and lost an hour of sleep. For a mom of a almost three year old, this is a bad idea. Things have been off all day. Waking up, breakfast at 9 am, lunch late, napped too long, and I have no idea when we are going to bed. But I do know that a 5 am tomorrow I will be at work. At least there's coffee there.

Here is a cute picture of Max in a sweater his grandma Jo knitted for him. Thanks grandma!
