Well, I finally got the computer to post a couple of pics again. I will admit it took me a long time before I was even willing to try again. We started this spring with an attempt at a garden. Dave made us a raised bed which in clay dirt ended up taking almost one whole afternoon. The kids and I tried jumping on the shovels, but were only able to get about an inch of dirt onto the shovel. The next day Dylan and Dayna helped me plant the plants. David was sick in the house for that whole day. We tried our hands at tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, squash, zucchini, and a couple of cucumbers. Unfortunately, they were in the ground about 2-3 days before we had about 3 days of some strong wind. Looking at it now, they almost all look dead! Dave refuses to give up hope, I am thinking that is because he put the most work into it. We will find out in the next day or two if any of them are going to come back. It is probably early enough that we could try to replant a few of them. We will see what happens.
The first week in April, Dylan had his first elementry school program. It was really cute with songs sung in many languages. He seemed to have a really good time doing it. Before the program, he was able to show us around his classroom and the workbooks/projects/papers he has been doing. He was really excited to show us everything and David/Dayna enjoyed playing on the toys at "Dylan's school."
I decided to have the kids decorate cupcakes for Easter today. It is one of Dylan's days off so I thought this would be fun entertainment indoors, especially when it looks like it could rain any minute outside. The kids enjoyed choosing the cupcakes and then putting whatever on it and as much on it as they could. Needless to say, they enjoyed quite the sugar high for the next hour or so. I was not surprised at all when no one would eat their lunches!
That is Dayna's new way of posing for pictures. All the latest pics I have of her, she is tilting her head this way. I have no idea where she got this from or why it started. It has produced a couple of cute, almost innocent pictures of her!

Wow Shelly those are some awesome cupcakes! I bet the kids LOVED them. Good luck on the garden. We are trying our hand at it too but just haven't had the time to put all the seedlings in the ground. Hopefully soon though:)
