Spring Fever

It's spring break for UTA and FWISD. I'm working 3 days this week, but today I enjoyed spending the entire day with the girls, free of appointments and ballet class.

Lately, the girls and I have been soaking up the sun, we are so ready for Spring. It's time to start giving the compost bin some much needed attention. I've neglected it for months and we haven't had much rain, so the pile is dry…it's nothing my little fairies can't fix.

I'm completely out of coffee. So, I bought coffee from Central Market and then I let the girls play at the CM playground.

Dakota wore herself out and fell asleep before we made it home.

Cheyenne picked out her own socks.

Do you have any plans for spring break? We are just doing some low key things like going to the park. I might take the girls to watch a movie this weekend.

If I could live off the land...

...I would grow my own food, veggies and fruit and raise my own chicken and all that earth loving stuff. But the truth is, I'm lucky I can grow this...so, I'll take it.

Here is my garden. It's flourishing!
I've got an empty row there, towards the middle. I've had so much success with the brussel sprouts, I might try to grow more.

 
The sage is invading the rest of my herb garden!

For the past two weeks, I've been eating brussel sprout leaves like lettuce. I didn't even think to eat them, until Erin mentioned something about it. Great idea! The leaves tastes rich and earthy kind of like kale. I'm still waiting for the sprouts to grow...

The girls like helping me water and tend to the compost bin.
