Milestones

Twinkletoes learned to ride her bike without training wheels this weekend! With the combination of protective mother and cautious child....it's a surprise that it ever happened at all!

I got three flower beds cleaned out....only 12 to go! It sounds so overwhelming when I say it like that, but when I look back at the clean beds, I have to smile and feel very happy. I will not be adding many new plants this summer...but I am trying a vegetable garden this year- for the first time ever. Twinkletoes has declared that she wants to be a farmer when she grows up... so she wants to get some practice in. :)

We watched Nacho Libre for the third weekend in a row... I have never laughed so hard in my life. Even the third time through. I think it just keeps getting funnier. And I love to laugh. Don't spring-time and laughter make the perfect pair?

a few of my favorite lines:

"Hug, Hug, Kiss Kiss, Hug Hug, Big Kiss, Little Hug, Kiss Kiss, Little Kiss"

"I was wondering if you would like to join me in my quarters this night for some toast."

"Today I saw a man in town, people were throwing daisies at him and giving him goodies. Sometimes I would like that kind of respect."

Have a happy week.

Sarah said...: Congrats on the flower beds and your daughter riding her bike! Woohoo! My son is 5 and he is attempting again this spring, in the fall he fell too many times and decided he wanted to wait. Hopefully when it warms up he will be out and happily trying again!
I haven't seen Nacho Libre, is it truly funny or "spoof humor"?; March 23, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Jeanne Oliver said...: I will have to check out the movie...I think you have to be in the right mood for that kind of movie. I love Dumb and Dumber...so maybe I will think this is funny too. Way to go on the beds...we are planting a garden this year too.; March 23, 2009 at 7:48 PM
