long time...

I'm tired and I want to go back to bed

can I?

Please?

no one around here lets me 

and thats so sad

Spring is trying hard to come to the island

which means 3 things

beautiful flowers!

and torrential rain 

and gale force winds

Awesome!

really for me spring here is hard 

I'm so ready for some sunshine and warm temps 

but those don't come for another 4 months

take me back to California where spring is 75 sunny and in full bloom

Ok i'll stop complaining

spring here really is beautiful just cold

I'm starting a project

I stopped by Sherwin Williams to get a paint sample

chose Topsail

then just because I found myself near one I stopped in at Benjamin Moore and choose Whispering Spring

Surprise 

they are the same

K I thought it was funny

so at least I know I like that color!

although this picture doesn't do it justice it's really a light blue

Here is what the boys are up to
basketball

 science projects

 basketball

 more basketball

 do plants grow better in water or soil

 you'd be surprised

So can I just say every morning
in order to take the boys to school
I have to wake up this precious little one

I HATE doing it
she looks so cute
but once I wake her up she goes 
nonstop 
all day long
no naps
quiet time is not exactly quiet
she goes full speed ahead for the next 11 to 12 hours
and I know where she gets her energy
ME
I think she has discovered some way to extract any energy I might have and use it for herself
It's a good thing she is cute and sweet and that I love spending my time with her
