ABC's and update on my daughter video/PICS lots of um

Well, my daughter is back to normal now...the docs think she had a virus so after some pain pills she is doing ok.  They did take tests that have not come back yet for lime's and some other things just to be safe.  Results should be back this week or next.  She is not taking the pain meds anymore so things seem to be looking up :)

Today will be a cleaning day...have lots to do including sheets and shower curtains to wash today.  Stefan is cleaning the living room and taking out garbage and then he's off to his friends house prob to spend the night.  My dad is out in his lazyboy taking a nap and Nic is at grandmas for lunch.  Today will be a stay home day since I have eggs hatching today :)  Good day to spend the day cleaning.  I really need to go to the store but I have dinner planned for today so I can wait until tomorrow to go.  I HOPE all 6 eggs hatch by tomorrow. 

Our garden is really coming along and doing better then I expected.  Of course ME who DID NOT want a garden is doing all the work.  I KNEW that would happen lol.  Cory wanted this garden and he and everyone else does like looking at it grow but do not pull weeds or water or fertilize.  In his defense he has been working LONG hours and working on weekends for his business.   If it were not for the expense of the food in the stores right now I would leave it go to weed!  lol  NO I prob wouldn't but I HATE gardens!  HATE THEM!  What I did do was put straw down so the weeds were not so plentiful ;) It has helped!  Here are a few pictures of my garden...didn't take as many as I wanted to because I forgot my camera card.  This is BEFORE weeding for the week too.  So it does look pretty bad.

Note from hubby:  Carrie conveniently forgets the FIVE times I tilled it just to be able to plant... and left out that I watered the garden yesterday before she posted this.

POLE BEANS



BROCCOLI...If anyone has experience with broccoli feel free to chim in here!  broccoli has confused us...like I said, this is our first time gardening and some of our plants have flowers on and areare real tall and others have what looks like broccoli coming up with NO flowers??  Are these flowers plants going to seed BEFORE giving us veggies?  AND WHY?

I had to take a picture of Jack....this is our umm I call it our foyer but Its not what it is literally...lol It's the middle of the steps...we have steps going up and down from this area.  Jack likes sleeping next to my VERY heavy fox and I have no clue why lol  Sometimes he cuddles right up next to him, it's so cute.


Alexandra is taking Nic swimming at the pool...turns out they get their, pay, and then the place closes down because they seen lightning!  So she got a free day pass and Nic was not happy he didn't get to swim...Alex took him to a lake but he would NOT go in.  He wanted the pool!  LOL  Here is NIc looking at ALex while I take the picture.

  Ok here is a cute video of Nic singing his ABC's...he knew his abc's for some time now...prob four months ago...maybe more, but today he wanted to sing them for you.  He stopped at the lmnop part because he can't say that part very well fast!  LOL he keeps asking me if it's right. </ahref="http:>
