A Day Off from School...Adventures Abound!

Today, Pickles was out of school for their Easter holiday.  For some reason, it is impossible for us to stay home and relax.  Instead, we have made a full day of our adventures. We started out this morning by dyeing Easter eggs.  Scott thought he was being super daddy when he purchased two different types of egg dying kits.  Not sure why, but when it came time to begin the fun, he was nowhere to be found...typical!

We started with the pearled dye, and I must say, it was painless. You simply squeeze the dye into the plastic bag they provided and rub it around.  Before you know it, you egg is completely dyed, and not a mess to be had.  I only boiled one dozen eggs, so we quickly colored those, and then had to boil another dozen.  Not too sure who is going to eat all these boiled eggs, but I am sure they won't go to waste.  Anyone up for deviled eggs? 



We then made an essential trip to the grocery store, and it was Pickles turn to chose our lunch venue.  We tried a new fast food Japanese restaurant in Hernando, in the old Huddle House. It was great!  Super reasonable, and fast.  The Little Man loved the fried rice, and couldn't eat it fast enough!

The remainder of the day has been fairly quiet. Here are a few pictures to catch you up on the gardening adventure around our house.  I am ready for our garden to be in full swing!


Baby Basil...I need you to grow really fast...I want pesto!


Lavender...smells so delicious!


Thyme


Greek Oregano...This one is tough, and survived the winter!


Lemon Balm...Not super excited about this one, it reminds me of Pledge...


My poor tomatoes.  I planted them, and two days later we had a major storm.  I think they will be fine.


Lettuce.  Might have enough to make a small salad.


Two ant hills that appeared overnight.  They are now annihilated...I have declared war!
Until next time, keep adventuring and looking for joy in the small details of life!
