Haircuts: Before and After

More Gardening...

Garden

It's been hard, with the rain, but I've gotten a few things done...

Took these rocks out of the front bed, as I'm going to add another level to it.... Put them in this space where there was just packed down dirt...

Planted my tomatoes, yes I know it was early....but wait too long and there's no selection. Of course, there was a frost advisory the next night...

Just doing tomatoes and herbs this year, with some marigold and nasturtium....

Here's a couple of other spots in my yard...

Spirea

Here's an "I Spy":

Can you find Eli's foot and a HotWheels?

Spring Soccer

Duncan's team is doing well this season, only 1 loss so far. Today we played Alex and Deegan's team and it was a tie, 0-0. He made a really nice block as goalie, and took a good thump in the head when he was playing forward. I didn't phase him, though....

Little Papoose

When we wrap up Eli after his bath we call him our little papoose...

he doesn't really like it.

This was after Ian's birthday party. Joe made him smile but he was mad because his balloon got away.

We drove past the Gillioz yesterday, I asked Eli if that was where he saw that movie the other day...he said, "oh you mean Lizards of Oz?" I said yeah, and asked him if there were any lizards in the movie. He said no, we couldn't figure out why not.

Also, a couple Sundays ago, he was excited because he got to sing "Amelia Grace" in Sunday School...

Projects

I've been practicing my knitting by making dishcloths...

This is my prayer shawl in process, a project for church. My goal is to eventually make socks. We had a knitting group that met Wednesday evenings at the church, but it is on hiatus for the summer. My friend Darby is a knitting fanatic, so hopefully we can get some knit nights together to hone our craft....and have socks by winter time!!!

Harlem Globetrotters

The boys sure enjoyed the Harlem Globetrotters a couple weeks ago...Duncan got some autographs after. We sure are an autograph-getting family, huh?

Eli was a little (lot) scared of "Globie", the person walking around in a globe outfit. (per usual).
