Spring Ahead

Birthday Dog

#11

See you soon :) Back this week with a few recipes and what we've been up to. ❤️

from marshmallow roasting to ice cream cones

I can't believe this is the last week of school. Last month I was counting down the days, but now I'm feeling sad that my sweet little 1st grader will be going into 2nd grade next year.

Good grief.

The last day of school is such a magical time, they have so many fun things planned, Jake particularly loves Bend the Rules day. 

Our backyard is shaping up and in the evening we move from the front porch to the backyard picnic table. Always a favorite spot. Jake is so excited to set up the tent and camp. He's been begging us to get an RV and go camping. He thinks they cost around $2.00. He's so funny!

Hope your weekend is absolutely fabulous!

go fly a kite......

I really loved the weekend.

It's been awhile since we've been able to just do our thing and enjoy ourselves.

On Saturday, we made grilled chicken and Spanish Rice. I made so much salsa last season and wasn't as happy with it as I've been in the past, so this recipe is a great way to use it all up.

Note to self: Don't be shy.....add more "heat" this year!

OK, and made yet another batch of Rice Krispy Treats. I will soon turn into one of these devils.

Unfortunately, we are in for a snow storm the next couple of days. I think it will just be a rain and snow mix. Needless to say, the daffodils are less than thrilled.

We snipped quite a few flowers yesterday and stuffed a bunch of old beer bottles and jugs with them. I love collecting beer and soda bottles. So many fun things you can do with them!

Then we headed outside to work on the fire pit. I should have taken a before picture, because it was really something to see. Large weedy grasses and a few of our trees didn't quite make it this year. I'm glad they are guaranteed for a year. I guess in a few weeks we will try tree shopping again.

It's been quite windy here this weekend so it was the perfect excuse to take a break and fly a kite. Jake's Godmother gave him a kite and he's been so excited to use it. It took awhile, but we finally had success. I honestly, have never bought Jake a kite, never even really thought about it.

All I have to say is......I'm definitely flying a kite everytime I get the chance :)
