Happy Earth Day everyone! I hope everyone did a special something today to celebrate the Earth and and all it provides for us.

Today was a no TV day. We tried to use the bare minimum which meant we didn’t use the stove, TV, lights, microwave…and 2 of the 4 computers were off all day as well.

This afternoon the kids, my Mom and I went outside to plant a garden. I had picked up a flat of pansies earlier this week so we were all set. I am not much of a gardener…come to think of it, this was probably the first time I ever planted flowers, so it was kind of hit or miss. I was actually using a set of plastic shovels and rakes we got for the beach! We managed though and had fun, which was the point of the whole thing anyways. Here are a few pics of our afternoon…

I have really been making an effort to be more green. I picked up a Diva Cup earlier this month to reduce on the waste made by regular menstrual pads or tampons. I also grabbed a travel mug for Corey, so cut down on the number of cups he accumulates from his morning Timmies. Slowly but surely, I am making more Earth friendly decisions and hopefully showing my children how to do the same.

Well the sun is shining and the weather is beautiful and I just couldn’t be a happier gal! It’s amazing how much the weather effects us. One day in the sun and I feel like a whole new person. Well…a few days in the sun actually. It seems like the weather has warmed up we have barely been indoors!

Since my Photobucket account was deleted in some fluke, all my blog pictures are gone. Soooo…I’ll make up for it now and post a bunch of pics from out outdoor adventures of the last few days. Enjoy!

Definitely my fav pic from the last few days.

Cruising!

At the park!

Yesterday morning, the kids woke up at about 8AM and started to play quietly in their room.  Since they were playing so well I decided to lay in bed for a little while longer.  At about 8:30 I opened their door and let them come into my room to hang out on my bed for morning snuggles.  Lily came first and got under the covers for her morning nursing session.  Hayden stood at the foot of my bed, in the dark.

I looked at him and noticed his pajama pants were off so I asked him “Did you take your jammies off?” to which he replied “Yes!”.  It gets pretty cold since we are in the basement, so I asked him “WHY?”.

He then lifted his shirt and said “I wanted to wear these instead”.  I looked down and on his little bum were a pair of Lily’s polka dot panties!!!

What a silly goose!  I wish I had taken a picture…
