Sprouts are sprouting

 Planted  on Thursday the 14th, and four days later on Monday the 18th the first signs of life have appeared!! I'm tickled pink! I can't wait to keep measuring their progress. I can't remember what I planted in each pot either haha, so it will be a fun surprise!

EDIT 4/22/16 hired a man to mow the lawn and he knocked over two pots(what an imbecile. Won't be hired again!) I saved all the babies I could find it was truly heart breaking but I think they will be alright!

Pansy Report: They are still alive, I haven't murdered them.

Spring Gardening

The weather has been in peak conditions this week and my allergies have been off the wall. With zyrtec and nasacort in my system, I'm still able to function without looking like I've got two black eyes! I made a trip to the dollar tree for some cheap supplies and found a lot of fun gardening stuff, so I figured that would be a fun thing to do with my roomie. We also spent a day shopping around at various garden centers. I swear I'm becoming my Mom, I used to hate plant shopping now I'm so into it, I want to buy all the plants and I'm okay with it. So we planted all these seeds in pots for the the front yard, and I'm so excited for them to sprout! I hope I inherited my mother's green thumb as well. We bought some pansys for my hanging plant, and I got a cactus and a pathos plant for my room. It was a great day spent outside with Courtney!

Got my shovel form the spot at Target!

Grow babies, grow!!

I'll post progress shots as all the children grow :)

Snow Day #2

The second snow of the year was a lot more impressive and long lasting. I put Steve in his fleece that my Mom sewed for him for Christmas, and layered up myself and took us for a walk. We had a good time frolicking in the neighborhood! I wish it was like last year when Steve was still a little baby who didn’t want to run away into an adventure. I used to be able to take him to the creek and let him off the leash and he would run around on the ice and in the snow but still stay close. Ah well. I was surprised it stuck, it’d been so warm I was sure the ground was too hot. Anyway here’s my cute shots of Steve rocking his winter fleece in the snow!

Flapping his lips in the breeze!

Snoowwww

I have no idea what I got in my hair, but it sure was yellow...

"I get da stick!"

Same facial expression but while sitting haha.

Little bug on a stump!

Christmas 2015

Lynne came up from Tennessee to do some shopping with me!

Oh Christmas Steve, Oh Christmas Steve!!!

The antlers pull his face skin back a bit, haha!

Charmin anxiously awaiting present opening.

I got a TV!!

Blurry but cute Charmin and I.

I am forever convincing him he's a lap dog.

Mom being cute, and Dad opening a photo frame I got him.

I’m thankful my wonderful supportive family and friends who were there to make it an awesome holiday season. I’m just going to dump all my photos of the time period off here now and caption them. I hope you all had lovely holidays too :)

Steve by the Water

Global warming gave us an awesome December, I’m not gonna lie. Wearing a denim jacket and a scarf in 60-something degree weather ruled. I took Steve to the dog park downtown one of those warm days, and after wards we explored a bike path down by the river. As we got close to the dam, Steve got really nervous. I think the loudness of the water freaked him out. It was impossible to get him to sit so I could take a nice photo of him so I got this silly one which I posted to instagram and captioned it what I imagined he was thinking, which was “Mom, I don’t very much want to sit here” haha. It was nice to get some of his endless energy out by playing outside! It’s so much colder now, I don’t ever want to leave the house unless I have to haha.

Hilight Reel of Madi and Lauren's trip to see me!

I consider myself to be an extremely lucky gal because every year, two of my very best friends- Madi and Lauren- travel all the way from Alaska to spend time with lil ole me! I look forward to it all year long, and always try to come up with fun stuff to do so they'll fall in love with Ohio and move here(they fell in love but I'm still waiting on that big move (; ). Lynne even drove up from Tennessee to spend time with us as well. Here are some of the things we got into:

Slumber party makeovers!!

of course I made everyone squeeze into a photobooth...

Shopping!!!

Sushi!!!

Hiking at Charleston Falls!

Lauren and I in a cave!

Carving our pumpkins!
