Valentines parties,play dates and car trouble

Well, it has been a few days since I have updated my blog,

and they have been busy days.I have had truck trouble, mine (minor)

which became truck trouble,Farmer Dad (MAJOR) and a home school group

Valentines Party (Thanks to M for picking us up AND bringing us home!)and

a Play Group Valentines Party (Thanks to R for doing the same!) and Love Day donuts with Farmer Dad shoe shopping

for Farmer Dad (P is still asking where her new shoes are), lunch out at a favorite Mexican restaurant,my Grandmother is back in the hospital,yard work, and play,the ever-present-laundry,a big stack of library books, spring cleaning to be done,

surprises in the mail,garden plans and homeschooling, including some backyard lessons,

Birds to count, and bread to bake. You all know how it is.

I forgot to finish my book post and, well, post it. I will get it up later today

or tomorrow. I hope everyone is hearing the sounds of the birds returning

and getting outside for a bit every day to see Winter packing up and making way

for Spring. Can you feel it? We sure can. Princess and I had friends over yesterday,

and the girls were outside even after the sun was gone.We could hear them giggling

and squealing through the windows as they ran around and dug in the compost pile,

took turns with the binoculars to look for birds, and Princess gave a lesson in

planting sunflower seeds (they were in a seed head on our nature table), and a craft.
