Just a few bits and pieces floating around my head at the moment…
– the girls have their very own, unique way of classifying things. Car music – if they like the song it is ‘Daddy’s music’ if they don’t like the song it is ‘Mummy’s music’.
– it seems I am the only one who can adequately ‘kiss it better’ for Zoe. No amount of kissing by anyone else can ever find the exact right spot that got hurt… except for me who manages it first go every time and can turn screaming mass into grateful child in seconds. What an ace super power!
– seeds are sprouting all over the place! Almost every little pot we planted just over a week ago has sprouts. The pumpkins, cucumbers, zucs and melons are all sprouting big time, only problem is I am exactly sure which is which.. we are trying to guess by the seed cases stuck to the outside of the first leaves! And another problem is they have sprouted too soon… were supposed to take 10-20 days to germinate and took 8! Now we are going to have to plant them out before we go away and just hope it rains enough to keep them alive.. unless anyone wants to house sit?
– red the randy rooster is doing his job (and then some) but none of the hens are showing any sign of becoming broody. I am not sure if it is too early yet? But this is another thing I am hoping won’t happen while we are away. How long do hens have to sit t hatch eggs? I must google!
– I am working through a spring cleaning list… I have a sudden urge to purge! LOL I have cleaned out the girls room and finally made a decision on curtain colour (apple green!) and now just need to sew them. I went through our wardrobe and bagged up some stuff for Vinnies. This week’s job is the study… eek a huge huge job but so badly needs to be done! Need to space clear badly to get some good mojo around this place.. even if the declutter won’t last more than a week!
– for everyone who has asked… no that is NOT me in the new header. That is my grandmother… but I looked just like that at that age and I suspect my niece will too! The tiara, wings and wand come from Annette’s ‘All pieced up’ very cool elements pack available at PBP now!

How cute that only Mummy knows the right spots! So funny about your seeds and not knowing what is what – I guess you’ll know soon enough when they get bigger, and particularly when they bear fruit/veg! ;o) I think this strange weather we’re having has confused the poor plants!

Jealous of your vegies, can’t wait to get our vegie garden happening :)
Can you come purge my garage, it is literally half full of boxes stacked to the roof, I need a purgererererer! I admire your tenacity, I would have lost interest by now and the study would wait until next spring LOL
Oh very cool kit Annette! And I love the way you used it Kate :)
