Mid-Month Randoms

Sophia is incredibly excited about our strawberry plant coming back to life this Spring.  As of the 3rd week in May, it has already starting producing berries.

With that being said, she has also been helpful in getting some new tomato plants in the ground.  We were gifted 12 tomato plants from one of our neighbors and we anticipate having a bountiful harvest of them in about 2 months.

Getting the favor bags ready for Jack's upcoming Mandalorian-themed birthday party:

Whenever Jimmy is feeling a little bored, I suggest doing a painting project.  It is one of his most favorite things to do and I love displaying the artwork in his room afterwards.

I drew the tiger and then he added the trees as an extra embellishment.

This occupied him for almost an hour from start to finish and I admire his intense attention to detail and color.

Another boredom-beater now that school is over for the year?  Finding old puzzles downstairs in the game closet and putting them together.

And 'tis the season for sidewalk chalk!  Sam started this and then over the course of a couple of days, all of us took turns adding more veggies and fruit to the collection.  

By the time that we were done, we had filled more than half of the driveway.

Speaking of Sam, she started her first official big-girl job!  She is working at a newly-opened banquet center/winery just 1.5 miles from our house.  This was taken on her first day and so far, she is really enjoying it.  She is also loving the paycheck that comes along with it!

Rock-painting!  Many of the rocks in my front flower garden are faded, so Jimmy was excited to be able to add some new ones to the garden that is blooming with color.
