Everyday::The Harvest

happy farmer

Today we harvested our pea sprouts we planted a couple of weeks ago.  I’m assuming this is when you eat pea sprouts because I honestly have no idea but I’m pretty sure if we continued to wait we’d soon have peas… 

These  guys got thrown into our shrimp stirfry for dinner.  If I don’t post for a couple of days, send help, I may have poisoned the family by eating these things.   Or maybe that white mouldy looking stuff on some of the seeds is deadly…

Total aside, I do enjoy how a series of photographs like this can paint me as this super Mom that should be featured in a magazine article -  Mom Feeds Family With Pea Sprouts Planted on Window Sill.  When in reality this harvesting took about 45 seconds and I spent most of the afternoon lying on the couch reading a book.  In my own defence, I did the laundry too. AND made dinner (which took about 20 minutes, but hey!  Dinner!  Served!).

Everyday::Sleeping

I was moving stuff around in the living room this morning (well, between reading my book and lounging around I was moving stuff around) and the kids decided to use this shelf as a bunk bed.

I considered moving it upstairs to their room.  Considerably cheaper than buying two twin sized beds. 

Everyday::Cereal for dinner

Auntie San came out for a quick visit today.  She is actually in our neck of the woods for the Olympics as she has tickets to Canada vs. US men’s hockey on Sunday.  Bet there are some jealous people out there now!  Although I am not one of them.

Another crazy beautiful day and while that is not so good for the Olympics it is lovely for ME, so we went to the beach to show off, and have a feast of a picnic lunch.

another beautiful day at the beach. IN FEBRUARY.

Then we came home and lazed around in the yard for awhile before sitting down to a home-made dinner of cereal (what?  it was poured into the bowl at home) followed by a movie with Papa. 

movie time!

Kinda a nice way to spend a Friday.  It’s too bad Papa didn’t work half-days everyday.  I could get used to this.

Everyday::The Cardboard Box

the fun!

Like cats, really the only toy a kid needs is a cardboard box.  As Jillian Jiggs would say

“Oh, look at the boxes! Yippee! Hooray!

It’s hard to believe someone threw these away.

I’m mad about boxes.  Boxes are fun.

No one will guess who we are when we’re done.”

never ends!
