Summer Time...Sort Of ???

Well it's June and as much as I am in summer mode the weather is telling me otherwise. Yes, we have been getting WAY TOO MUCH RAIN in Chicagoland...grrr. But that being said we try and take advantage of every opportunity we have to get outside to run and jump around. Yes, we decided to invest in a trampoline this year! I have heard the horror stories and thanks to Andee I have see pics of the horror that can occur on a trampoline (broken bones). However, with little kids, only a couple of them on the tramp at a time, and a paranoid mom (ME :) that is always out there watching and monitoring the kids when they are playing together, we are enjoying it a lot. Tristen loves it and mom loves the fact that it wears Tristen out, so it works for the both of us. Here are some pics of Tristen and some of her friends during a play date.






Yes, so we are attempting to grow tomato plants this year. I have never had a real plant indoor or outdoor. We almost killed the one plant, but thanks to a friend that told us we needed wholes in the planters for the water to drain, we had a rebirth. Thank heavens for second chances. Also we wanted to try planters that way the little critters AKA the rabbits don't nibble on our pride and joy.

Okay Kim- truth be told if Chan would allow it I would still have a tramp! Kids will get hurt regardless of what they are playing with, but since Chan was the one to witness the accident I couldn't really argue with him! But hey- a tramp is great exercise! And nice job on the plants! We are doing our first garden too!
