Matt took the girls up to Eagar this weekend and I was worried about traveling with Troy this young so I stayed behind. I was feeling sorry for myself at first--missing all the fun again---but decided to try to enjoy my time with the boys. I spent 2 full days playing num-nums, hello, animals and variations of all of those games. Hopefully the one-on-one will pay off and not backfire.
I did get to spend a few hours outside planting a Spring garden. Planting with Mathew around is always a challenge but this time I gave him bags with rice and wheat in them and told him those were his seeds and gave him his own plot of land to plant in. Then I had my plot and seeds all to myself. I haven't had anything planted in 2 of the plots and today when I stuck the shovel in the dirt, it looked like the whole floor was moving--full of worms. Mathew actually spent the whole time catching worms and it made me sick to think how many worms he mutilated.
I don't know why the soil is all of the sudden so fertile but I'm excited to see if it makes a difference in the crops. Although worms or no worms, the real problem is that Mathew picks every thing as soon as it's sprouts. Last year, he brought in all my sprouted carrots and said "look Mom, I pick weeds".
I also took some time to update the blog...it feels good to catch up although it's probably too much for anyone to read.
