Number 18 x 2! Number 23. Number 19 AND fourteen!

Willow Tree #1 out in the front. This one is a little bare but we just planted it today.

Willow Tree #2 in the backyard. This one was planted last weekend and as you can see, it's already getting some leaves.

Here are my proud lil helpers. They love playing around and helping me out.

Oregano?

Chives?

The oregano and chives are part of Number 23. I wanted to grow three fresh herbs in the kitchen, so here's 2/3 rds done. Woot.

Number 19
We went to a Birthday party this weekend and I refused to buy gift wrap, even when Jason asked me if I was going to buy a gift bag! We used the comic section of the newspaper and wrapped the gift for Jaxon, the ONE year old. No one noticed. I felt good about it knowing that I was doing my small part.

Number 14
I've recently bought more Vitamin E and have been taking 1200 IU daily. Hopefully this helps out like it did the last time.

#85, 96, & 99

#85 Update Blog at least once a week.
So far just this year I've made 17 blog posts on our regular blogger and this is week #11. YAY! Go me!

#96 Back up all photo's on computer.
Jason bought us a 500 gig external hard drive and has recently uploaded all of our photo's to it. Check! Feels good to know we pretty much have unlimited storage space now.

#99 Create a family piggy-bank for loose change.
I went out and bought a really big glass container and we put ALL loose change and loose dollar bills in it. I have no clue how much we have in there now...but it's a good start! I'm going to decoupage some photos on there of where we will be vacationing....

and the next blog will explain that vacation!!!

#18 and #20

We have TWO weeping willow trees being shipped to us. The plan is to plant one in our front yard and another one in our backyard.

Growing up, I loved the movie My Girl and in it Veda, the main character, writes a very emotional poem about a weeping willow tree and I've always loved them since. One will be for Aiden and the other for Jackson. Awww.

We've done really, REALLY well with not using the dryer and I have to admit, I actually like it a lot. The clothes seem to stay more vibrant longer and I haven't had a single bra get messed up yet!!! THAT'S reason enough to not use the dryer! Haha. We still use it for the "big jobs" like jeans that HAVE to get washed LASTMINUTE and for big thick blankets because we don't have an actual clothes line outside. We have these two stand up clothes hangers that are foldable. I also love the way the house smells with a ton of drying clean clothes! Jackson and Aiden love to "help" me hang the clothes.
