My Radishes are Having Baby Radishes...and Other Gardening Updates

With record temps down here in NC, the garden is doing great!  It takes a bit more dedication to go out and water it every evening, but it's totally worth it.  I grew enough radishes to feed the neighborhood and the season is almost getting too warm for them now, so I better start giving them away.  My husband just missed the potato crop:(  The raspberry bushes (3 out of 4) are doing great!  They produce anywhere from 5-20 new ones per day and make a great addition to my cereal bowl.  The pea plants were thrilled to finally have cages to stand up in and I'll pick them tomorrow for a delicious snack.  The cucumbers and tomatoes are growing fast and will definitely produce a good crop!  (If the hornworms stay away!)  And not pictured are my herbs (rosemary, basil and mint) which have all doubled in size and the pepper plants (3 different varieties) which are doing great.  The fig tree isn't growing nearly as fast as I anticipated, but it's still alive, so I'm happy.  Here are a few pictures of the results of my efforts:

Seriously, this radish actually had a baby radish:)

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
