5/27/2010 Planting the garden

Thursday
Today we planted part of our square foot garden. We did yummy vegetables like: broccoli, corn, cabbage, cucumbers, onions, etc. Now cross your fingers that they live. I started my garden to late to start the veggies by seeds, so I bought the plants at a nearby veggie store. (Mainly my goal for this year, is to hopefully not kill everything off. Then my goal for next year, is to get more of a harvest.)

Tuesday
I made chocolate covered banana pops today. While they may not look appealing, they are yummy!

Mircea thought they were "deee-wicious!"

Bryan didn't say much, but he ate 2!

The picture says it all

Such a silly girl!

Saying Goodbye to the baby gate

October 20th Tuesday

Casper can go up and down the stairs with ease, so it is time to get rid of our beautiful baby gate. Bryan made this baby gate when Mircea was little (he got the design from his mom, who made built one for Dewey or Darren.) None of the store baby gates worked with our stairs and banister. Personally, I think this gate is awesome! It had a spring-loaded hinge, so it was quite easy to work and to top it off, it looks great as well!
So Cea used it, then our neighbors borrowed it for their little girl (their 2 oldest daughters would use it as a hitching post), then we got it back for Casper, and now we are saying goodbye to it once more, and it is going back to our neighbors as they are expecting #4.
