Our neighbor’s kid went here to play with my kids when we went home. The kids love it that they are starting to have some friends around. I was rearranging my plants in the pots. They were all growing so fast. I moved the tomato alone on one pot. This way it would have time and space to grow all by itself. I rearranged my Brussel sprouts and Chinese cabbage. It all looked a lot better now. I can’t wait to see my tomatoes bearing flowers and fruits. For sure it would be an added savings to the family when we don’t have to buy some tomatoes every week.

For some reason I had this feeling of buying a  new big bag.  My husband was wondering why because I already have tons of bags but I felt the urge of buying one. We went to Target and he did not insist about it.  It’s a good thing that he just went with me. I felt like it’s the end of the world if I can’t buy one. It sounds crazy.;-) I bought a big white bag. Like black I can pair it with anything. I felt so happy bringing my bag home. My daughter also went to the dollar section and bought  some things she liked there. I think there are really days that I feel this way. I thank my husband for not insisting and for buying the nice bag for me. I really love to collect bags and shoes. I even have shoes and  bags that were not used yet which seem odd but true. I guess this is some kind of an outlet for me since I don’t have any other vices. Lol. Do you like to collect things too?

Today we went to see where the public library is located. My kids and I will be going there tomorrow so they can read and borrow some books. The day is nice even if there is a little bit of a wind gust. We went to Walmart to buy some more pots since my plants are growing fast and they seem to be overcrowded. We haven’t found a 24-inch so we went to Lowe’s and was able to get two 30-inch pots. I need to transfer my tomato in another pot so it can grow well. I’m excited.;-) And by the way, Happy Easter!

The kids and I will be enjoying a ten-day spring break vacation. Easter will soon be here. I have asked my children what Easter is all about and you know what they told me? They said it is all about egg hunting. I thought that was funny but I explained to them about what the real meaning of Easter is and  thank God they now know already  what  it is.  Since the school is pretty much non- sectarian I guess that is the reason why they never really explain what it is.  I am planning on what to do during those days. Oh well, I have already planned one and that is to go and visit the garden. We will also go biking, window shopping, library visits, reading books, coloring  pages. I am still thinking what other fun stuff that we will be doing. I hope we can go down the boardwalk in Atlantic City. The last time we were in Ocean City it was still so cold. I think a lot of people are going down to the shore this weekend since it would be really high tide. I also want to visit my friend Irene in Baltimore. Having that in mind as plan, I am really very excited. How about you what are you going to do this spring break?

Oh and by the way did you know that I have already  transferred my red and yellow ranunculus flowering on the soil? They look so adorable. When the flowers that are in bloom weather they have some buds that are about to bloom too so I am really excited about that. I have also seensome seedlings from the small sunflowers that just happen to fall from the old sunflower plant last summer in our front yard. Looks like there are plenty of them. I hope they willgrow well and bloom too.

My husband’s car did not start this morning. So he had to use my car but I was called up for work. He went to work and fetch us because I have to go to work too. He called Pep Boys to tow the car and have it fixed.  It’s a good thing the car did not stop in the middle of nowhere. I went to assist the special kids today.  When we went home we got the car from Pep Boys and paid a thousand bucks for fixing it. I know it’s a pain but we have to have it fixed or else how can he go to work.

 May you have many more birthdays to come handsome boy.;-) We love you so much, you know that. Hope your day was a good one for you.

A simple celebration of muffins and spaghetti for my son who turned seven yesterday. He was anxious to bring the muffins to school so he can share it with his classmates. I ran to the store to buy some whipped cream. The muffins were a bit hot when I hurried placed the cream on top because slowly they melted away while I placed the sprinkles. Nevertheless I brought it with me to my son’s school. On the way to school , I changed my mind and went back to whole foods to get some muffins to be brought to school. It had icing and toy ring on top of it making it looked really good. I also bought some juice for the kids. I handed the muffins to his teacher and his teacher and went back home right away. It was raining on and off. I decided to make spaghetti. When they came home from school he looked so happy bringing his leftovers. They went to the kitchen and was happy to see the spaghetti. My daughter ate 3 servings which was unimaginable to me. She must have really liked the taste. I remembered making spaghetti on my son’s first birthday. Everybody was looking at me and my spaghetti. They were so engrossed and excited forgot that my son was left alone  jumping up and down on the couch and all of a sudden he fell on the floor. We celebrated the day with and icebag on his forehead. When I retold the story to my kids they were wondering if it was true because they have no remembrance of it. Oh well, how could a one year old and a two year old remember things? I told them that I will show them the pictures when we will have a vacation in the Philippines. It was an incident I could never forget.

My friend Mary Ann shared with me her photos when she visited the Flowerfields in  San Diego California. An array of various colors of flowers in bloom looked so gorgeous. It is such a joy to see the wonderful flowers that seem to make everyone feel heavenly. I showed it to my husband and he told me that there is a beautiful flower garden in Philadelphia that we can go and see. In fact it is one of the country’s most beautiful sight to see. I looked it up on the internet and I got very excited because it is really very awesome!. They claim it to be the world’s premier horticultural showplace. The garden is neatly trimmed and designed. It’s not just all about the flowers but you can also discover a lot about plants and animals that are so much involeved with plants. My husband told me to check out where to park, the price of tickets to get in there, so basically I think we will be there soon.;-) It would be wonderful to see the beauty of nature and I really look forward to it! Thank you Mary Ann for sharing us your pictures and giving us a good idea of bonding time for our family.
