Been out of town

Wow, I can't believe it's been 4 days since I last posted! Our family went on a road trip up to Lynchburg, Virginia for the weekend and I am trying to get back into my normal routine. It's amazing how you can be gone for just a few days and you get totally out of whack! William did well overall with the exception of his wake-up time. He normally wakes up at 7:30 each morning and that has now turned into 6:30. I am hoping it is temporary because that one hour makes a HUGE difference! The girls went back to school today so I am sure they will be dragging most of the day. I sure am glad that I busted my butt to clean my house before we left. There is nothing like coming home from a road trip and everything is nice and neat. I looked around this morning and it looks like a small storm passed through *sighs* I guess it is that way with a big family. I hope all the moms out there had a spectacular Mother's day. I think the best part for me was the girls telling me that they think Mother's day should be everyday and not just once a year. I thought that was so sweet. Either they really are that sweet or they have mastered the art of manipulation! ha! I hope you all have a great Monday :)

Today is the day!

I am so excited that today is finally the day that my dear friend Tanyetta will have her baby! I am waiting anxiously with my cellphone attached to my body at all times to hear the news. Since she is on Cali time I am forced to wait even longer. I can't wait to welcome baby McKoy to the world! You should check out the sweet letter she wrote to her baby :) This baby will be a part of an awesome family, that's for sure!!

Vent Day Wednesday

Welcome to this week's edition of Vent Day Wednesday! I know everyone will think we are completely insane. We just like to have fun! Enjoy the video and be sure to leave your vents in the comments!

Garden update

Our veggie garden has been planted now for about 2 weeks and I am so impressed with the progress so far. I think everything has gotten about 8-10 times larger than they started out. I wanted so badly to fertilize everything but believe it or not Dwayne won't let me. He tells me that it goes against the whole idea of an organic garden and of course he brings up the fact that way back in the day there was no such thing as fertilizer. Fine, I will let him have it his way. I am hoping that the organic compost will prove to be a natural source of fertilizer and will provide a reasonable crop to harvest. I guess time will tell. I am so impressed with how serious Dwayne is about getting greener! Speaking of greener, look for an upcoming "green giveaway" later this week.

Question: If you planted a food garden, did you use fertilizer?

Flashback Friday

My little William was a week old in this photo and weighing a teeny tiny six pounds! I was thinner during and right after my pregnancy than I am now, I'm working on that.

I hope you all have a great weekend :)
