Whoa what a week.

I'm ridiculously behind in my blogging, I may as well just go froth from this point!

We've acheived much this week. We're not quite done on the swingset, but we are close, maybe 4 steps of 35 left (we sort of skipped around and did things that were more important to us first. We have a few of the finishing touches to put on, and the walls around the sandbox part, which seem sort of optional). We got two of our raised beds built, and trimmed the largest branches out of our front hedge (I think it's privet), still need to top it off at the top though. Maybe tomorrow, if the weather cooperates. We hosted a potluck at our house this evening, so we even got a good bit of cleaning done around the house. All in all, spring break was very good for us, productivity-wise. And it was wonderful having Ali home all week, we spent so much time working together as a family!

A few memorable quotes from the kids:
Leila was singing a song from the Leapfrog Talking Word Factory, and quoted "zat's not a word!" and I said, "well actually, zat is an onomatopoeia", and she looked at me and said, "Mom, I can't talk right now".... I guess she's not ready for complex grammar definitions. :D

Elyas was laying in bed, going to sleep and he was making his two little loveys kiss. I said "aw, are Butterscotch and Scorch kissing?" and he said "no, they are playing baseball!" I think the little guy isn't quite sure what baseball is!
