Anything Goes

The boys watched in amazement as the garbage trucks combed the streets picking up anything and everything last Saturday. There was so much stuff piling up in everyone's driveway that I couldn't help but go peek and retrieve some goodies. Hey one's trash is truly someone else's treasure...It's the little things, you know.

Roots

This is what happens when a pecan falls into a potted plant...it gets roots and grows like no ones business. Stay away Mr. Pecan. Thanks.

Green Things in Spring

So, I have been wanting to grow some plants and herbs/veggies, ever since I saw Holly's little garden last Fall and all the produce she produced. And I finally got around to doing it! Jordan built my herb garden table (much props) that I saw in a magazine and after a weekend trip to Home Depot, ta-dah it's planted.

I planted a plethera of everyday herbs like; basil, italian parsley, thyme, cilantro and lettuce (arugula, romaine, spinach) in the table. Then my mother-n-law had some clay pots collecting dust that needed to filled, so we planted radish, zuchinni, carrots, tomato seeds in the rest of those. They are all slowly starting to sprout, more pics to come. woo-hoo!!

My potted plants, mostly succulents, are loving the sun on the side of the house, so I decided to give them some friends and planted some Dahlias, Sunflowers and Bachelor Buttons. I cannot wait to see them finally bloom:)

Maybe if I stare at them long enough they will grow faster:)

Home Sweet Home

This going back home stuff is easier than I thought. Even though I've been sick for about two months straight I can't help but be thankful for this opportunity. Benicio loves it. Julian is in heaven (although not pictured, he really digs playing by himself around here). And Alisa is really bonding with my dad (should I be worried that they share so much in common?) So now it's time to start pinching those pennies. I've been going strong so far; brown bagging at work, not buying anymore clothes, and starving the kids (just kidding). We should be in pretty good shape come December and that would be when we start really looking for a place of our own. Fingers crossed.

And yes, we really are this happy... Go Curiel Family!
