an equation

a hose + 2 watering cans +





3 citrus trees + 6 blueberry bushes +





12-15 yearling vegetable plants in the {new} garden =





2 hours of fun had by 2 brothers for their 1st of many days of water play! And, a dozen 1/2 to 2 dozen-ish well-watered plants/trees/bushes!






And just in case you're pondering asking why my children have strategically marked their bodies with markers......DON'T!

Happy St Patrick's Day




May your blessings outnumber
The shamrocks that grow,
And may trouble avoid you
Wherever you go.

Star Student

This week at school, Buck-a-roo has been named Star Student of the Week!

Now before I show you his star student autobiography assignment, let me tell you a funny story about how I came to know that he'd be Star Student this week.....

His principal (who happens to also be our friend outside of school) informed me at his birthday party, two weeks ago, that he'd be the Star Student this week.
I was pumped!
Elated!!
Honored!!!
I say....."to what does he owe this honor?",
"what accomplishment did he achieve to bestow the Star Student 'award'?".

I'm thinking.....I know he's a star {grin}; now they've recognized it too!!!

Her answer.....alphabetical order!!! That's right! Everyone's a STAR! Albeit, this week they've made it to the 'V's, so it's Buck-a-roo's turn!!

{still proud}
