Broccoli Tales

      Usually when we get in the car to go someplace, India sits in the back of the van, & fires off her daily barrage of questions.  She usually has some good ones.
        For some reason, she always asks me about shows I watched when I was little, & if they were in black & white. I tell her they were in color, but she never seems convinced. I'm pretty sure she thinks I was young when cavemen roamed the earth.
        Today, on the way to the store she said, "Mama, was broccoli alive when you were little?"  Pretty cute. I think she is picturing me as a little girl, living in a colorless, vegetable-less world

Spring Feeling(or Wishing)

This picture I took the other day, reminds me of Spring, & I guess I am longing for it a little.  Especially now, since I am bundled up inside my house, trying to be warm.  It's not like it is snowing here or anything...it doesn't where we live...I  guess I am just not a cold weather kind of girl.

                    








Here is India, with the sun in her eyes, wind in her hair.

February 26th(today), is little Cody's 2nd birthday. He is not a baby anymore, he even throws himself to the ground, when he's mad, like a full-fledged 2 year old (it's kind of funny to watch). Happy birthday Cody!

Not A Ghost In Sight

One of the places we went to this past weekend was Calico.  It's a ghost town out near Barstow, Ca.  India (my middle kiddo), was a little concerned about the name "ghost town", & I had to reassure her that is would be alright to visit there.  We actually went, because my brother wanted to go there for his birthday, so we met him & my parents there.  We all ended up having fun, & my kids liked it....except for an old mining tunnel you can go in, with fake mannequin miners(slightly creepy).  The best part was it was Civil War reenactment day.  I think I've mentioned my nerdy love of history, & the Civil War before, so that made my day!
