my non touched up almost 35 year old face.

I love this skirt fabric...and the little bows on the pockets.

All is well here. The weather has been glorious, so we've been busy on the farm. The fields have been harrowed, the garden beds have been turned once, the yard has been reseeded, and the patio has been cleared of all the junk that it accumulated over the winter. Yay! Soon it'll be time for some good old fashion porch sittin'.

Also, did I mention that we are mid bathroom renovation? What a friggin' mess. Unfortunately, its going a lot slower than what I had hoped. I promise I'll show it off when its finally finished. It may be next year, but it'll get done.

We celebrated A's blue and gold Cub Scout ceremony over the weekend. I'll do a whole scouting post later in the week. I have lots of pics to share.

Like I said, life on the farm is busy, which is the cause for my not as frequent blogging. I'm gonna try to be better. Pinky promise.
So, friends...how are you?

Yeah, they have no shoes on...In fact, Bulldog is still missing that shoe. Oh, and let's just talk about what Monkey is wearing. For some reason, bio dad thinks that 2T pants and 5T shorts are the same thing! Ugh.

I know, we're total dorks!

Have a lovely evening!

Sunday (in pictures).

Most of our day was spent outside. The weather was fantastic! The winds from Saturday had died down, making it a perfect day for doing farm stuff...like pulling the mulch away from the barely blooming crocuses, and clipping the pony to get rid of its over abundant winter coat...eeeeee...what a fluffy babe!

Winter isn't that pretty here--unless it snows. The farm looks a little rough this time of year, especially right now since we've had no rain for quite awhile. The land just looks thirsty. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm hoping that as the dafs (my favorite) grow and bloom it will liven up the place a bit.

So, here are our pics from Sunday.

First signs of spring!

The horses get their rugs off. That must feel great to them.

Check out that tiny fluff ball. Looks more like a baby dino than a pony.

Holy god, Look at all that hair! AND that's only half finished. I've been trying to come up with some kind of horse hair craft. Throw pillow anyone (*shudder*)? Doll wigs?

A walk in the woods with the boys.

Bulldog wasn't so into the idea of standing up on the logs.

Hope your Sunday was pleasant and relaxing as well.

Saturday

We've busted out the old jeep to get her ready for some Sunday drives! With weather like we've been having, it would be so fun to drive around the countryside in the old girl! Granted we probably won't take her too far with gas prices as high as they are at the moment! She's a beaut though, no?

dress: old Navy

I was lucky enough to be able to enjoy some much needed alone time on Saturday morning. Ian kept the littles while I scooted off to Anthropologie for a little window shopping. I basically drooled all over all the spring dresses! Seriously, so good. Maybe by the time fall rolls around I'll be able to afford one or two of them on clearance. Probably not though. I go in that store and I instantly feel at ease. It's the smell for sure. I think I need some of whatever they perfume that place with at my own house. Then maybe I wouldn't be such a high strung freak! Ah..aromatherapy at its best.

Monkey spent his third weekend with Dad this past weekend. The judge is wanting reunification ASAP. Dad just has to get his plans in place. We'll see how long that takes. I'll post a separate post about fostering one day when I feel that I can express myself clearly on the subject. I haven't quite come to terms with my emotions about it all yet, so stay tuned for that one later. When he does finally leave for good, am I going to have to change the name of the blog to just Bulldog?

Our Saturday plans to spend some much needed time outside getting the garden prepped for spring were thwarted by the out of control winds! Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature that March is still a week away! Admittedly, it was kinda nice. Bulldog and I curled up for some cuddle time while A. played the wii. It was a win win for everyone--well, except maybe for the garden.

We treated the boys to an evening out at Red Robin--I know, classy right? We were completely blown away at how people allow their kids to act when they are at a 'kid friendly' restaurant. Just because there are TV's in the floor and free balloons, doesn't make it ok for your kids to throw food or remove their clothes at the dinner table. Come on, people! The kids loved it though, and I suppose the food wasn't awful enough not to go back again sometime. We'll see.

All in all, a good day. How was your Saturday?
