This weekend was
AMAZING weather.
It couldn't have been more perfect.
We did a lot of planting and weeding,
had out first fruit pops of the season,
took leisurely strolls through the neighborhood,
and cleaned off all of the furniture on the back porch.
It certainly feels like spring!
The weekend also brought a birthday party
for a special 2 year old friend,
a mama's night out with an old friend in for a visit,
sweet potato biscuits, veggie fritatas, and spinach-artichoke dip
(not all in one meal!),
a trip out for Mexican food,
and of course, a much anticipated visit
from the Easter Bunny!
But the weekend also brought sickness for Finn,
who has been throwing up all day
(My poor kids, I swear they have been sick all winter!).
We also discovered a small paper wasp nest by our front door.
Todd is allergic, so it needed to come down.
I hosed it down, and within an hour,
there was already one cell rebuilt.
Man those wasps are hard workers!
Tonight we will try some peppermint oil spray....
wish me luck!
And now I am off to prepare for my class.
A new term starts on Tuesday,
and there is much for me to do!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
Oh those first two photos are beautiful!! Sounds like a lovely weekend, except for Finn getting sick, hope he is feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Love the flower hiding behind Finn's ear. And I love the eyes in this picture! Even the cat has gorgeous eyes! Hope everyone gets (and stays!) healthy for a long time!
ReplyDeletehope your son gets better soon! yikes! we get those wasps nests as well. They never stop. Hope no one else gets the stomach bug :)
ReplyDeleteaw, no, the sick needs to go away!
ReplyDeleteand the wasps...we were always fighting them and then, in keeping with an old southern tradition, we painted the ceiling of the porch pale blue. no more wasp nests :)
Aw bummer, hope he feels better! Our house has been so full of sickness too, what gives?
ReplyDeleteCare to share your recipe for the fruit pops? Love the pictures of your kids they are so sweet!
Thanks April. Well, truth be told, those were just some leftover store bought natural fruit pops from the last time the kids were sick with a stomach virus. But, we normally make our own just by freezing fruit juice or I like to make a mixture of fruit juice and coconut milk-- creamy and good!
DeleteWow...what gorgeous kiddos.
