Mother's Day Weekend

What a great weekend.  Scott was home all weekend and we had a great time hanging out as a family!  Saturday morning we hit the Corvallis Farmers Market and the downtown fountain was in full swing.  We brought the girls swimming suites (learned from last year) and they both had a blast.  Calla was her usual enthusiastic self, she does everything with such life it is inspiring.  






We also got to enjoy some first of the season strawberries.  We the girls ate up everything we bought.  YUM!  They should be very happy by the end of the summer when our 8 strawberry plants start producing.  


While everyone napped on Saturday I got our garden planted.  This is our first garden in the house.  We have been busy raising kids and have not had the time or energy to try a garden.  We are still doing a CSA this year, but we planted melons, squash, hot peppers, a few tomatoes, broccoli, and fennel.  It be a great addition to our CSA and I love teaching Calla and Hannah about planting and growing food.


Sunday was a great day at home!  It was hot, upper 80's, so we filled up the kiddy pool and turned on the sprinkler.  After a wonderful dinner of halibut we roasted marshmallows.  Calla's favorite part of the day.  Hannah has already eaten hers in this picture, and Calla is still savoring hers. Hannah needs to learn to be a little slower in her enjoyment of treats.     


A beautiful evening, in our beautiful yard, to end a very wonderful Mother's Day weekend!
