Good Morning!

 The kids are usually all still in their rooms, and often in their beds too, when I check on them around 8am.

 One kid is up!

 Evelyn is getting dressed for breakfast!

 Ah...he finished dressing already!

 (note his new glasses!)

The kids that are awake usually have their nose in a book!

Yes, two of the kids with glasses now! The optometrist assured me that they don't HAVE to wear them yet, but should get used to them (as their eyes will only get worse). Most of the time (except when they want to look fashionable) they aren't wearing them. They are faithful taking them to church though, so they can read the board and see the minister clearly. And maybe to look good then too. Probably!

Matthew didn't get any.
(I think he's pleased, actually.)

Done

 Nathan worked on this tank for quite a while. He had to order more track pieces but now it is finished! It gets better traction on the blanket than on the slippery hardwood floor.

 A friend who moved away last month :( came and helped me clean my apartment and basement. Then she came another day and helped me with the main floor! After that I felt up to cleaning up my spare room -- Philip had finished shelves for me, so now you can walk in the room! It is so much more usable now!

Spring projects begun

 Jennifer lost her first tooth! Shortly after that she lost the next one!

Matthew showing off some tricks!

Last year our tree took a holiday and didn't bloom. It looked lovely this spring!

 The chicken coop is keeping the kids and Philip busy. The kids dug the post holes by hand even!

This year I have two veggie gardens! The one in the fence is to have carrots beets lettuce and other rabbit and deer menu items.

And then other items less tasty to them are to go in the garden that is open. They were rototilled  a month earlier than last year so my hopes are up for more produce!
