Dirty boys!

What is that I hear outside my window???

Ah yes, it is the sound of my husband tilling up our garden.  It is a beautiful sound!! 

I must admit that this weekend I was considering skipping the BIG garden...it scares me a bit this year.  With coming to the end of this pregnancy right at the peak harvest time, I'm not sure I can give the garden 100%!!  However dh assured me we wouldn' do the WHOLE gardent his year, only 1/2 or 1/4.  Definitly a few tomato plants (we eat these as fast as we pick them!!).  So I am going to take it as it comes...and pray I can keep up.

We did order our 25 baby chicks this weekend they should arrive tomorrow morning.  That is exciting. I miss having chickens roaming throughout the yard.  They were so enjoyable, not even counting the many delcious meals their eggs brought our family!!

Wednesday is our BIG dr. day.  At 10am I have my BIG 21 week ultra sound.  Will we find out the gender??   We still don't know.  We had thought we would not find out...but every now and then one of us says "wouldn't it be nice to know"...but we've never said "Lets find out!"  With ds1 we didn't find out (it didn't matter, we were so new at this...either way it was going to be a learning lesson!!  With ds2  being so close I wanted to know so I could slowly get PINK if we needed it...alas we didn't need pink.   Will we need pink this time???  Who knows...but we are really almost starting over (as we have moved 4x and gave away most of our baby items).  So who knows...I'll let you know Thursday!!

Oh and Friday we went to a homeschool convention in MD.  Since I cannot attend CHAP this year, a member of our co-op told me about a hs fair in MD (only 40 minutes away)...so we went and I am so glad we did.  We were so prepared (since we FINALLY decided what we were getting) that we walked in made our "big" purchase at Alpha Omega's table and saved 34%!!!!   (20% off during April and Free shipping at the convention of 14%!!)  So that was great and we were done with in 10 minutes.  Of course we still roamed around and I found the Explode the Code books i wanted, they were only .50 cents cheaper than on line, but I also saved on shipping for those.  I also made 2 other small purchases..but I am just so glad that we will be able to take our time on our last 3 units of Weaver Vol 1 (which will take us until Late July early August) and then the baby will be soon due, and we will be ready in September to roll with Weaver Vol 2.

So all in all it was a great weekend.  We relaxed and enjoyed each other.  Oh we even had a campfire on Saturday evening.  That was nice, the boys loved it!

Enjoy your day!
