Weekend

You can tell that spring is on its way in. Yea! We have had some beautiful warm weather (60+ degrees) and we've been outside all weekend enjoying it. With the warm weather comes the inevitable list of outdoor jobs that need to be accomplished. We just walked around talking about all the things that need to be tackled this spring. Golly it's a long list. One of the things on that list is to clean out the horse pen. We try and scoop the poo out every once in a while and it was definitely time. It's hard to keep it scooped out in the winter due to it always being muddy or icy or covered in snow but we've had several weeks of dry warm(ish) weather so Sean was able to get the little garden tractor out with the front blade on it and push the poo into a pile. The plan is to start a nice little compost pile that can be used for the garden this spring. He did a splendid job of cleaning the piles of poo and I'm sure the horses appreciate it. Not bad for a 42 year old tractor!




Wesley helps out whenever he can outside. He's always our little shadow wanting to hold bolts or help fill up the water containers for the animals.



Over Valentines Day weekend last month my folks brought us dinner of snow crab legs and thus it's started a new tradition in our house. I was at the grocery store yesterday and noticed at the seafood counter that the snow crab legs were on sale ($3.99 a pound!) so I bought three pounds as a treat. Got home, popped them into a pot of boiling water to heat them up and we gorged ourselves. Wesley got to try his first (and definitly not his last) dinner of snow crab. I wasn't sure if he'd like them or not but he surprised us by downing about half a pound. He dipped the chunks in melted butter and asked for more. It was awesome. I'm glad the kid likes the same food we like. Sure makes it easy.



On a side note, I am so proud of our little boy. He pooped on the potty for the first time today. I know, probably over sharing but I'm so excited at the prospect of getting one child potty trained. He said he had to pee pee on the potty so I took him in and he sat there for a good long while, got a big smile on his face and declared that he pee peed. Got up, looked down and was just shocked beyond belief at what was in his little potty. I don't think he had a clue that he pooed. It was a surprise for both of us. Yea Wesley!

Anyways, hope everyone had a nice weekend!
