Just like my lunch orders, I will soon run out of things to do. SIGH. Well, can’t say that I’m not trying right? Darn kids… why do they have to get bored to quickly!

Today we spent half the day moping around the house… and then had a light bulb moment! It’s 6 degrees outside…. LETS GO SWIMMING!

YES. I booked Missy C in for Creche for the first time and Missy A and I went swimming.

It was a really great opportunity for me to spend one on one time with each other, and it was great because OFCOARSE always after a swim… everyone is HUNGRY. So lunch went down without a fuss. We dropped by to pick up a DVD and set for home.

We’ve started a bit of a vegie patch and herb garden so we also had planned to set up our mushroom box. AND speaking of our herb garden, I swear that there was one night that I thought our neighbours were stealing our herbs!…. or worse…ALIENS!

I went out to pick some parsley one night and discovered this!

ALL OF THEM WERE PICKED! Just their leaves!

I panicked! Called Dave and was totally freaked. I mean, one of or neighbours, not sure who and which one is kind enough to bring in our bin sometimes when I forget while rushing the kids off to school. So I thought, well, thats ok I guess that maybe then they thought that they could help themselves to the herbs as their reward/thank you. I don’t know… but it sure seems alittle invasive. Thats when I got scared. OMG, someone has the guts to go through out gates, walk into our garden and hep themselves. I ran into the house, locked up the doors….

Ok so maybe Dave is a little calmer with this and told me that neighbours wouldn’t do such thing and it COULD be something else. So I googled it. “MISSING PARSLEY” and found a few people with missing parsley due to a…. POSSUM!

Ok, not so scarey anymore. But still very angry.

ANYWAY… we borrowed Bandslam and…BANDSLAM IS AWESOME!! Hahaha… I love kids flicks, and I was a little hesitant because Vanessa from High School Musical is in it…( i find her annoyingly chirpy), but not so much in this movie, and I loved it. Oh and so did the girls . Highly recommend this flick.

Random. I know.

Everything mixed into one. Food, clothes, cooking, and whatever pics I found interesting that captures my past couple of days… hehehe

Our hearty dinner meal. Chicken, bacon and mushroom pot pie with baby chat potatoes

Making breakfast interesting. Sprinkles on oats!

I harvested our corn to make way for our new landscaped garden. YAY! We are going to have grass!!

I gots myself a new hair do…

Happy April from the Livingfootprints family!

OK, so I’ve been alittle quiet the past days…Reason being… well.. I’M BUSY LER!! Stupid. Ok lazy too.

Missy C now is beginning to be mobile, and very clingy, so it has been hard to hold up the chores with a baby hanging off your hips. Missy A is getting ready for school, so we’re starting to wind down to get into school routine. While baby sleeps, I have been attacking my poor garden.

In my head (so all quite hypothetical) I am going to turn my backyard to a somewhat, sustainable vegie garden. I have this tendency to buy stupid things at the supermarket when all I really need is coriander. Like my last visit to bloody Costco, I was only suppose to get…. ergh I can’t even remember now, but I came back with a receipt that was about 1 metre long… and with the total bill coming up to close to $500. (sorry hun!).

SO NO MORE shopping trips. I’ve decided to turn this monster jungle… into a vegie loving garden. Jammed packed full of organic goodies.

Yes, that is my ass in the corner.

hmm I have no idea what the heck I was wearing… so please ignore that. YES I have lots of daggy clothes, and I don’t always wear nice clothes. Next time I take a garden shot, I’ll promise not to don on this outfit. I’ll show you another ‘chapalang’ look. MUAHHAHA. Also, looking back now on that picture, it was kinda pretty…. and sad now that I went all ‘human’ (from Avatar) and killed off all the pretty flowers like a giant I don’t give a shit monster.

Ok I’m alittle kuku right now, but that is because I have nothing much to say.

ANyway, so far so good with the vegie garden. I have planted out corn, cucumbers, carrots and pumpkin. I’ve taken photos and stuff but I can’t find the cables to transfer them just yet, and well, I’m NO gardener so there really won’t be much of a “How to” post. Hopefully, it will just be a report about how my green babies are doing.

As for my real babies, I’ve updated you on Missy A and Missy C, so that’s all folks…. for now.
