Well, spring is still in bloom at our house with plenty of green. I've recently planted some tomato and summer squash seeds to see what would happen. As you can see the seeds are no longer seeds, but thriving seedlings. I put them in my bathroom window for warmth and light, that seems to have done the trick. In a few days I will transfer them to bigger pots, the roots are already out searching for more dirt.
Probably in a few weeks I'll be thinking of transplanting them outside. I have to see how the weather is holding up freeze wise. No need to put them out too early and risk a frost.
Our peach blossoms are so pretty, but starting to fall off already. The tree is in full grow mode with leaves all over the branches. Sariah and Keira show off our tree with equally pretty smiles!
I have been feeling the "get it clean" bug the last few days. I've been noticing things everywhere that have a grime build up that's driving me nuts. So today I went to work and started scrubbing. I did laundry, washed dishes, mopped floors, washed curtains, cleaned bathrooms, scrubbed walls and a few cuboards. It was a whirlwind effort that leaves me feeling energized for the next project: The Garage. It's scheduled for this saturday. It truely must be spring when I feel like cleaning!
In this picture you see the swiss chard from last year doing great along with the newly planted radishes and green onion patches. 
Here you can see our bush beans, pole beans, watermelons, the gazillion bell pepper plants and of course tomatoes. What you can't see are the zucchini and summer squash area. I still need to plant cucumbers and pumpkins. Because of course we will have that Giant Pumpkin Win this year for sure! After a long day of planting and watering we were ready to relax! 
John BBQ'd hamburgers and hotdogs for dinner. Afterward we all had a big marshmallow roast for dessert. Toasty roasty marshmallows are the best!
A few of us played a Settler's game later in the evening. Of course we were all playing our hearts out... but in the end, Katie (Shaun's fiance) won the game. What a great time! 
They all assembled their leprochaun and pot of gold with help from John, though Jonah did his mostly on his own. After a few pictures here and there we were ready to head off to the food court for dinner. Each child earned a quarter (by eating a red bell pepper piece from John's food) for a gumball. Katie John shows off her watermelon gumball here:
