Spring has sprung!

Well, we are at the end of our spring break but it was definitely not a break. We finished our garden after several loads of dirt from our good friends, the Gurney's, farmhouse and then we added organic topsoil and planted. We have cilantro, basil, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, watermelon and spinach planted. We'll see how it goes here in hot AZ.

We also finished our yard work and turned the spare bedroom into a make-shift pantry (after cleaning, painting, organizing) to store our 90 day supply of food as well as our long-term storage of wheat and such. The kids worked so hard and I heard Ashley say it'll be nice to go back to school and "rest" - sad but true. Michael spent his week off working too.

The kids go back to school this week with only 9 more weeks of school left. I'm excited and sad at the same time. Excited they'll be home for summer but sad I'll have a freshman in high school at Perry, a 5th grader and a 1st grader! They are all doing excellent and we are so proud.

I'm still hard at work with school - no spring break for me but at least I am done with midterms.
