We have adjusted back to East coast time and are starting to tackle some of the spring projects/chores. The chickens have started laying their eggs in bizarre places, so it is like a treasure hunt each day to find them all. Noah collected several boxes from our recycling and made a drill to drill to the center of the earth for his siblings. They were so excited and spent more of the afternoon decorating and playing in their own "cars".
One of our spring projects this year is to clear out our raspberry bushes so we can actually harvest them this year. But, part of the clearing process it digging up the invasive vine that has strangled out many plants and trees over the years. This, we hope, is the origination point, but it is the size of a tree root and not easy to remove.
James has started playing T-ball and is slowly getting the hang of how the game works. He hasn't decided yet if he likes it;) The warmer weather has mostly arrived and the kids are spending more and more time outside as we wind the school year down. They mostly play well together and have some pretty elaborate storylines. In this instance they are playing knights. For the record, Audrey is not as distraught as she looks in the picture... I believe that she is crying here because Noah was standing where she wanted to stand, or something equally as worthy of this type of hysterical reaction. In the lower pictures Audrey is pouring water down her pants and into her boots as a way to "wash" her pants... the three year old psyche may be the end of us... ;)
Last weekend my mom came for a visit and was able to attend the Fiddlehead Festival with us. We also put her to work and got some yard work done along with burning our massive brush pile... Dad would have been proud:)
