Growing things

These are pictures from week 3 of "The Experiment"

Check out my broccoli! And all my perennial flowers came up finally along with the hobeneros. I think the first plants that popped up were the romaine lettuce sprouts.
Tyler has learned to crawl this week. It's not a full on baby crawl, but it gets him effeciently across the room.

I love when I get to put Ethan's old baby outfits on him! It's been a long time.
Here we are growing family relationships during our first campout of the year in our brand new Springbar and the Ross cousins. I think these are the coolest tents ever. The lowest part of it inside is 7 feet tall so I never have to stoop down.

All that got to participate had an awesome time in the maiden voyage of Casa De Ross. Tyler is still too young to stay out in weather quite this cold so we slept inside the house.

We grew friendships here when our best friends, the Thompsons came and spent the weekend with us. We used the bakerella.com web site to make these little bits of awesomeness. Cupcake pops. They may not look that pretty as we had lots of children making them, but oh my were they good! Red velvet and cream cheese. Need I say more? Other than Fonda and I went to the gym in the morning and did the Power Pump class followed by a two mile run. These weren't exactly low on calories.
In the mean time, my kids have spent a lot of time eating on the floor since I started my table restoration project. I'm sorry to say that the weather has not been cooperating so my sanding has been limited.


I've almost got all the chairs sanded down and ready to paint, and I did get this one all the way done. I LOVE IT! Remember, the table will be pretty much the same color of blue as the dark blue part of the flowers on this material. It's turning out exactly as I envisioned it and hopefully I'll get some good weather next week during Spring vaca so I can get the rest of my sanding done.

Oh yes, I scotch garded the crap out of these babies as soon as we got the new material on them.
I think that's pretty much it. I have other pictures I really want to put on here, but my laptop is on it's last dying breath so I'm having to use my desk top to do this on. For some reason I can't get them directly from this computer to my blog so I've been havig to use photobucket and I can't figure out how to rotate my pictures the right way on there! It's driving me nuts!
