We finally did it! After years of talking about planting a garden, we actually managed to get it done. We started work on it over a month ago and finished planting this last Monday. We have tomatoes, bell peppers, pumpkin, squash, zucchini, onions and cucumbers. We had Wyatt help with the planting but he didn't quite seem to understand that it will take time for the plants to grow. He's been very helpful with watering, and checking and waiting. He's just really excited to get a pumpkin for Halloween. Hopefully he'll forget about the pumpkins soon so that I can stop answering questions every day. :)
Yes, we got a bunnie. Isn't she cute? We picked her up yesterday and Wyatt has been talking about her non-stop. He even named her all by himself. We went through a couple names before deciding on Trixie, mostly because Wyatt wanted to give her a boy name. His first choice was Speed Racer, and then Rex Racer. But when it told him the bunnie needed a girl name, he chose Trixie. If you haven't noticed, all the names are from Speed Racer. We watch a lot of that in our house. :) Trixie will actually be living with Grandpa and Grandma O. They'd like to teach their dogs to be nice to small animals and they already have a fenced of place for her to live and lots and lots of grass for her to eat. She's just staying with us until next week when they get back from vacation. If any of you would like to hold a bunnie, come on over!

I found these on the AllState site and wanted to share. I already went to the WiseBread site and signed up for a free Elizabeth Berg book. I'm enjoying that this economy has brought out the frugality in people and because of the internet it can be shared. Love it!
Just saw a commercial for this and wanted to pass on the savings. Go to www.ingoodhands.com, click on the Restaurant.com link on the right side and you can get restaurants certificates for cheap. They have 25 dollars ones for 5 bucks or 10 dollar ones for 3 bucks. Gloria's is on the list, so if you haven't been there now is your chance!
Danny would like me to mention that he did get 2nd place with his team at the golf tournament, so appparently any damage done to the ankle was totally worth it. He'd also like me to point out that if he plays that well with a bum ankle, imagine how he plays with 2 good ankles...
Danny took the day off on Wednesday and we took the kids to the zoo for Eva's birthday. It was a little chilly which turned out great because the zoo wasn't busy at all. The kids loved it! Wyatt is still totally scared of the wooden elephant that makes noise, but Eva didn't seem to mind it at all. We took the kids to the bird show as well. Eva had a hard time sitting still but the show was great. The birds fly so close to your heads and Wyatt was really amazed.
