Spring Break is Over... boo hoo....

Another spring break gone by .... 2009.  Part of it feels like it lasted F.O.R.E.V.E.R..... (Disney) and part of it feels like it went by too fast (the last half).  Unfortunately, on Sunday, we remember we have normal lives to live - kids have to go back to school and parents have to go back to work to earn a living!!  I didn't win a few million at the casino this past weekend, so it's back to work we go.

Got most of our vegetable garden planted today.  Lots of hard work (mostly by my wonderful husband, John, who schlepped all that dirt around), but the tomatoes, basil, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant and cantelope are in the ground.   One jalepeno is in but haven't been able to find any serrano or poblano's yet and weirdly, have not been able to find any blackeye pea or lima bean seeds??  Everyone has been out.  So.. looks like I'll be ordering some to put in next weekend.  Hopefully, everything will grow well!!!

John extended the garden out 18 feet along the back fence which allows us a lot more room for some beds.  We only had dirt for two more 16 foot beds (2 feet wide).  But, we have room for probably 6-8 more like it for the future.  

The kids had a fun weekend with their dad.  Rachel rode in two bike rides this weekend trying to prepare herself for the MS150 coming in April.  Saturday was a 60 miler but she fell off the bike around 35 miles and scraped up her knees, arms, etc. so I think they called it a day.  Today was the Tour de Houston and I think it was 45 miles which she completed.   Has some knee tendonitis apparently, but other than that, did well (except for the sore buttocks... :-).

Stephen has baseball practice/scrimmage games in preparation for the baseball season opener which is Tuesday night at 5:45pm.  It's baseball season!!  T, Th, Saturday games this week!

Off to bed all ... we're tired around here!!
