The last couple weekends Jeremy has been away. This older kid age is a nice one for taking it easy when Dad is gone. Plus the only person who sleeps in is Jeremy so mopping can happen at 6am on a Saturday.
Since we were up with the sun on Saturday, Elliot insisted that we finally celerate his 1/2 birthday. We got donuts and made a "donut cake" and sang happy birthday under very specific directions. No "cha cha" anything. No monkey business basically.... and that was all directed at Harry.
We had a weather day this week too, and my favorite kind. The off all day with no actual issues weather day. Let me keep power and do some sewing. I started working on my pattern I've had for ages.
Initially I cut for a size 16, which is what I measure for according to the pattern, but it seems to be fairly large. Hopefully after everything is attached and finished I don't have to do much resizing.
This has not been the year for lettuce. I didn't start it as soon as I usually do since our winter had so many weird freezes, and then spring got hot quick so it started bolting. I think we managed one good salad.
I also need to go back to the garden center for a replacement pepper. I accidently grabbed a variety I didn't want and low and behold it is pathetic and tiny, while my Marconi is huge and already producing fruit.
Also placing bets on the fact that my egg plant does nothing since I picked up the wrong variety.
But the basil, it has survived the great puppy debacle and is growing great. Only one seed seemed to be in a weird spot after I scooped all the dirt off the ground and back into my grow bags. Thankfully Honey has finally quit messing with the plants so much.
Honey is a hard core chewer. Dill isn't.
However, whatever Honey has, Dill also has to have. I think he is chewing bones just to make sure he is included. When I've sat down and worked on training her, he sits by me and slaps my arm with his paw to point out that he is already doing whatever it is.
Honey also is still only about 75% certain what her name is but 100% sure what the dog treat bag sounds like.
Now for meals. This next week is insane (the entire month of May is at my school). I'll be on a field trip Mon-Wednesday, then Thrusday Elliot has awards in the monring. I feel like by the time I'm back in my classroom the insanity will be more than I could ever rope back in.
