~ Friday Ryan went out with friends after work so I was a single parent all day.  I decided try and be "fun" mom for the day.  "Hey you guys want to go jump on the trampoline with me?"  "Pizza for dinner!"  Stuff like that.  And it was fun.  I think we all had the best day.

~ Saturday our neighbor put together a family nature event at Sunfish Lake Park.  We spent the morning there hiking and learning all about the natural world right out our back door.

~ This also inspired some serious morel mushroom hunting around here.  We enjoyed two dinners with morels this weekend.  My first time trying them... deeeeelicious.

~ So much time in the garden.  We have now planted kale and lettuce (these two were planted a month or so ago), peas, carrots, spinach, radishes, more lettuce, beets, and flowers.  There is so much more to go but it's going to get pretty cold here for the next few nights so I'm holding off a few more days.

~ Watching all three kids enjoying themselves in the garden.  Grace and Jackson getting their soil ready and planting and Nora making some delicious stews.

~ Sitting out on the deck with Ryan Saturday night in candle light listening to the spring peepers.

~ Ending the weekend going out for ice cream.
