Busy Week Fun Week

So this week was kinda busy but hey aren't they all.  We enjoyed some fireworks for the fourth, good food, and plenty fun.

We also did a little eating out.  

Yesterday we took the kids to see Cars 2 and I am not sure when I've heard my daughter laugh so hard.  I personally had fun and enjoyed the second movie as much as the first.  That is a quick recap of my week now check out my cute tomatoes.

I've never been able to grow veggies but I'm in a new house and new yard and this yard has sunlight.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed here that I do not kill these cute little guys.  Perhaps we should  just call me black thumb Noelle.  This morning I made myself some Bulgur Weat  breakfast with almond butter added and a banana.

Lunch ended up being a quick pita pizza with BBQ sauce, chicken and bell pepper topped with a sprinkle of cheese.  No pic of that though it seems to be lost on the ol computer :(  Tonight I did an hour of Yoga X, there is nothing better than getting in a great stretch session.

Busy Week

Wow this week has been beyond busy.  I started with this little project.

And ended up working on the front of the house as well.

The side of the house still needs pine straw  but is just about done.  I got the old  pine straw out of the front and put down new top soil.  The husband then added a border and black mulch....much prettier.  We still have more work but it is looking better.  I wish I had something more entertaining to add but really this took a good couple of days.  Yesterday however I did make it to the local farmers market and came home with these goodies.

Not bad for nine little bucks huh!  Gotta say I love farmers markets.  There is nothing better or should I say tastier than home grown local produce.  Gonna make cucumber salad tonight with these.
