weekend mashup

May 20, 2013 by meg | 0 comments

despite the snow, which continued to fall and accumulate through saturday, we had a great weekend. friday was dinner with friends where we ate these delicious tacos, had cake and pie (yep, both!) and played some games.

saturday was low key with the exception of going for a walk where we snagged a walking stick for zelda from the woods. it’s since been customized. 20130520-150030.jpg we also started in on yarn extensions and beads for zelda, which necessitated a late-ish run to get more beads. pop zelda in her pjs when it gets close to bed time and she’s happy to go wherever.

20130520-150302.jpg sunday was sunny and like the snow never fell. the kids’ garden, which was planted, survived. the rest of the plants spent some time outside to begin the process of hardening them off again. we also worked on zelda’s hair some more, plus took lots of breaks for a walk and bike ride. actually, the hair didn’t get finished until this afternoon. i really hope this holds until our trip to dallas in early june, or at least until we meet up in dallas since i’ll be away the week before for work and papa will be on his own with little z (and all her hair).

also, in case you haven’t looked in a while, flickr updated its layout.  i like how you can view lots of photos on a single page.  it’s pretty close to flipping through a photo album.  here’s where you can find me and zach if you want to check it out.

kids garden

May 13, 2013 by zzaletel | 0 comments

It’s been a busy weekend at the household. We had the inaugural session of the kids garden in the back, which required collection and transport of cement blocks for forming into the outline of the kids garden. We’ve set up a small platform as well, for both kids garden enjoyment and perhaps as a nice spot for a cup of coffee in the morning by the creekside once the leaves fill in across the bank. Zelda, of course, was a good helping in getting things ready.

Of course, plants can’t go into a garden without friends, so a few friends were created.20130513-092715.jpg

20130513-092724.jpgZelda and her little friends had two tasks at hand Saturday – first was to decorate each of their blocks with some paint. Everyone had a great time painting, sponging, tasting and adding color to their blocks . After that, it was time for final assembly of the garden and planting of the children. Safe to say they all had lots of fun.
