So I am ready to admit that I have fallen off the wagon -- GASP -- I know, can you believe, the self titled coupon queen and not done anything with coupons in about 2 weeks. Yikes! With the take it easy routine, I haven't been doing my CVS/WAGS stuff because getting Keira in and out of the vehicle is tough, so I have just skipped it. But today I am determined to get my coupons under control!!! Sadly, it may take a few hours, but all I've got is time since Wade is gone all week!
On to gardening ... most of the work thus far has been in the planning stages as everything I have read says you really shouldn't plant outside here until the middle of May. I have all my stuff planned out on little graphing sheets and have decided everything that we are going to plant - Lettuce, Tomatoes, Green Peppers, Carrots, Peas, Onions, and Cucumbers. Hopefully with all that, something will come up! We have started cucumbers and peas in the house - pics are below. Keira has been totally loving it so far. She loved planting the seeds and she was so excited to see something coming up. She wants to water every day! I think this coming weekend we will plant the lettuce and carrots outside as they are supposed to be more hardy and able to withstand cold weather should we get any.
Hmm, what else? Wade left this afternoon for Mexico for the week. It was quite an ordeal for Keira. She saw the suitcase and wanted to know where her and Mommy's suitcase was. When I told her only daddy was going, the waterworks began. Took about an hour for her to be settled down. And I have been asked no less than 10 times, "is daddy home yet?" How do you explain how long a week is to a 3 year old? So sad. On a positive note, the weather forecast fr the next week is FABULOUS! 66 for a couple of days - mid 70's for a couple of days and actually getting into the 80's this week! Hooray for warm weather and playing outside.
I'm sure there will be more updates this week, so stay tuned!

I must say I'm shocked about the coupons. That is actually typical for MY house!
Don't you need to start the peppers inside too? We're just doing peppers and cantaloupe and the peppers said to start inside. Ours aren't doing so well thus far. Elena has the same enthusiasm as Keira but Jonathan and the cat seem to think they're tasty morsels. *shrug*
