So I just thought I'd share a couple of non-Caiden things. Eric and I finally got the garden going in the back year. Mom and Geno helped while they were in town for Caiden's b-day party by getting me some potted plants for my birthday! (Caiden is not sleeping... playing with his glow seahorse)
(Caiden started screaming while the pictures were loading) And then Eric expanded our planting bed so that we could plant vegetables in the ground. We haven't had much luck growing them in pots. We planted a tomato, jalapeno pepper, sweet yellow pepper and straightneck summer squash. I also planted my herb tower several weeks ago.
In addition to the gardening, I've been able to go to two Mom's Night Out events that have been so much fun. The first one was at a place called Painting With A Twist and a teacher will teach you how to paint that night's piece of art. I've never really painted before and I'm not a very good artist so I was pleasantly surprised by the result. The painting we did doesn't really match the decor of my house so I'd like to go back and do another one that I would actually display. (If anyone would like a lovely painting for your house, let me know)
The other one was the craft club for the GCS Moms League and we made washer necklaces. It was pretty difficult to stamp the letters into the washers so I have an even greater respect for the people that are selling them on Etsy!
And I finish just as Caiden falls asleep! Ahhh, sweet silence!
Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mom, sister and mom friends out there! Enjoy the day!
Great post, Erin--so nice you're doing things for YOU! Every mama needs HER time! Wishing you a beautiful Mother's Day!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...gardens, painting class, washer necklaces. I've wanted to try all these things! Wish we lived closer! I doubt tho our Houston ground will handle vegetables planted. I wanna grow potatoes, green beans, and onions since we always use those.
