Also this weekend

We finished the strawberry pots!
We made more nice dirt and got them all arranged.
Man, moving that full one was a bugger to move!
But now we have them all organized and are planning strawberry recipes!

 As we fill it up

 A side shot of my new hairs!

Also I finished this apple crafty I have been working on for a long long time (think September)

 We went to Ikea to look at stuff and Josh bought Moo a castle tent to hide in. It has been VERY popular:

First flower of WINTER!

Yep, on TUESDAY (March 3 for the record), Ashley found the first crocus of winter!

We have a warm spot right by the garage outside door and there it was.
So she took some pictures for us,
Happy winter/spring!

Sickness

Poor little Ellie has been SICK this week. It stated after the Montpelier/funeral trip. Her right eye was red and swollen. So Monday night we went to the ped clinic and the PA said 'yep pink eye.' So we did the drops but there was NO improvement by Tuesday night. So Wednesday (following on the theory that you only get 2 eyeballs so you better take care of them) we went to an eye doctor who said 1) it was not the amoena that separates you cornear from your eye 2) it was NOT pink eye 3) it was an allergic reaction to something that had gotten in her eye. So we got another cream:

Then on Friday, she still looked horrible! She was taking a nap AND putting herself to bed at 7. I don't think I have ever seen her so sick! Her tonsils looked red and spotty. So Friday we went to the instacare. She does not have strep, just a nasty virus. So she has missed almost an entire week of school but is still yucky looking. Poor kiddo.
