Random Day

This morning when I woke up I had this daunting task of taking 2 Two yr old and a 3 yr old Boys out for the afternoon. I thought about it all weekend what I could possible do. I came up with the movies. I figured I would take them to the very first showing of Rio and the only ticket to be bought would be mine. Sounded like a plan. Then I chickened out. LOL. Who I was I kidding. LOL

Instead the Mom that I was going to babysit for plans changed and I went to there house and the kiddo's all played out side. : )

When I was getting ready to leave, Mary sprung a box of fruit and explained that everyone "knew" I enjoyed baking and thought I would be able to put it all to use. R U KIDDING ME?

So I made Banana bread and Sean took it to his night meeting. I hate pears and the thought of cooking them grosses me out. Luckily Jade loves them. PERFECT! one everyday until school gets out. Jk.

We live in Yakima and it is the agriculture Oasis of WA. Everything grows here. The other day I met a Bee Keeper. I noticed one of the orchards by our house had a bunch of bee hives. He taught me this::

For Apple trees: A bee MUST visit the flower or bud of the fruit 5X in order for the fruit to "perfect" the next time you are at the grocery store pick up an apple. Look at the bottom and you will see 5 "legs" or bumps, IF a bee visited that flower 5x then all the bumps will be matured if not then the unpollinated part will be immatured, Very interesting. Remember science rubbing the bee and the flower? lol. who knew.

Me! Just Me

So often as a Mom, Wife and everything else that needs to be mentioned, and not mentioned, I forget to do the things that I want to do. Often I hear from Jade "I want to to what I want to do" and very often I want to respond "ME TOO". But when asked, for a long time, I had no idea what interest me anymore.

Then I came to a realization, Is it fair to me ? NO. Would it be selfish of me to take time for me? No. So I thought about what I wanted to do on my free time. I came up with this.

Elizabeth'a Blanket

Sam's

Suki

I also have Max's blanket that I did, but can't find the pictures. : (

I also Enjoy

So I did discover what I enjoy. Banking and sewing along with reading. Granite while I am doing exactly what I want, everything falls to the waist side, but in all honestly. House work will always be there tomorrow, laundry will always be there tomorrow. I have to have an out that I can focus on : )

Thats Me. Alicia

Whoa!
