Each month the gap in age difference between the boys seems to get smaller and smaller. They play together all day and yes, they fight too. Foster loves to play and tease his older brother and James has become quite protective of Foster. He frequently scolds anyone who he feels isn't treating Foster correctly. This habit might get old but for now I think it's pretty cute!
Things we did in April: planted a garden, had lots of Easter fun and I am making headway on my children's book.
Olson Farms
Seriously, we are going to have to start selling lettuce pretty soon with the amount that is being produced in our garden. We must have magic soil. We are growing kale, butter lettuce, romaine, curly leaf lettuce and spring greens. We are also growing a variety of herbs, strawberries, eggplant, cucumbers, jalapeño, bell peppers and tomatoes. There is nothing better than picking fresh veggies to cook with every night. My very own farmer's market!
Easter Fun
We had a great Easter. I love this holiday for many reasons: pastel colors, best candy ever, egg hunts and the fact that we celebrate our Savior and His infinite atonement. Now that James is old enough to understand who Jesus is we were able to teach Him about why He is our Savior and what it means for us.
The Saturday before Easter we attended the Ewell Easter Egg Hunt for the second year in a row. The boys had a blast and despite Scott's instructions, James ate all of his candy within five minutes.
Easter Sunday we attended church which was a beautiful service and then went to mom and dad's for another Easter egg hunt. One for the kids and one for the adults. I didn't do so well but Scott came away with about $60. Such a fun day!
James the Brave
I wrote a children's book titled "James the Brave" and this month it is starting to take shape. I have decided on a publishing house and Tess has begun illustrating it for me. The pictures look amazing and I can't wait to have a hard copy finished and in my hands. It will be ready for purchase by Christmas! Here is a rough sketch of the house in the story.
