i feel a little like i failed st. patrick. the celebration of his death rolled around and i hardly batted an eyelash. yay! aren't we all glad he died!? its weird. anna and i were talking about it yesterday. almost every person-centered holiday is celebrated on said person's birthday... except st. patrick. maybe that's why everyone drinks on st. patrick's day, as a sort of a mock wake. i dunno. still, it would have been fun to have had a bit o' craic.
oskar rolled over yesterday! 3 times! twice on the exam table at the pediatricians and once at my folks'. today he went on sleep strike. i think maybe it was due to the vaccine he got. poor wee man. matias was dry all day yesterday, in his rockin' spiderman boxer breifs! we even went to anderson and back with nary an accident... then today, he was playing out in our own backyard and... well... had a set back... of the worst kind. poor wee man.
yeah. i'm not really into transitions so i've noticed. heh.
tomorrow i'm getting a garden! WHOOPEE!!! so excited! my dad built frames for my sister & i. he is enlisting the help of the menfolk to help install them at each prospective house. he's also sharing his bountiful supply of dirt and mushroom compost. summer produce, HERE WE COME! The yard is looking good. kristian's been raking like a madman. i cleared up the death in my chrysanthemum pots and they're coming back. it makes the front of the house really lovely and ready for SPRING! the last few gorgeous days have gotten me in to quite a spring fever. i've actually been attempting to spring clean. i say, attempting because with the small boy and the smaller boy, it hasn't gone exactly as i had mapped it out in my mind. but the new broom we got yesterday has instilled in me a new hope for a bright and cleaner future. no. really, it has. simple pleasures, you know. back to the garden and the outdoors. i REALLY want to dig flower beds along my front walk. ideally, i'd plant poppies. i'm just not sure how well they would do. i know nothing about poppies. my second choice are... is... are red tulips, which i HAVE had before. so. i guess we'll see. the nice thing about tulips? they are bulb(ous) flowers. they'll keep coming back. maybe poppies are the same? like i said, i know nothing. either way the prospect has me giddy with excitement!
