ongoings on the outside...

Our garden is continuing to bloom and grow, although there is more greenery growing than there are blooms.  Okay, so there really aren't any bloom in the garden at the moment.  But we now have apples that are growing!

And plums!

And more and more roses!

And more rhododendrons (not so excited here)

Oh, and we are picking radishes!  Sunshine was excited to show off our first pick from the garden.

what he can do...

This morning we had to run to the store and since Turtle wasn't feeling well, I let him bring my old iPod for him to play games on while he sat in the cart.

He started playing a game that has you spell words and when it asked him to spell the word "head," he looks over at me and said,

"Mom, I don't know how to spell the word 'head!'

I said, "But Turtle, you are four.  It's okay if you don't know how to spell the word 'head.'  You know how to do so many other things."

He thought about that for a minute and then said, "You're right!  I do know how to do a lot of other things.  Like karate and wrestling and cleaning up."

My response was to tell him that he doesn't know how to do karate and wrestling, but I held my tongue on those.  However, I did have to say, "Oh really?  You know how to clean up?"

Turtle responded, "Yes (insert a huge sigh), I just don't like to."

creeping...

We found this little guy, okay so he was almost three inches long, crawling on our window. Sunshine saw him and shouted, "He is there because he wants me to be his human pet."
