We had an egg dyeing party at Julie's house on Monday. It was fun and thanks to Julie for the bunny cake and offering up her house to dye eggs. With 10 little ones that is very brave. We all had fun except Phoebe who would not even touch an egg because she was mad, what else is new! =)
My mom came into town on Tuesday, which I was really excited about! The girls were happy to see her too. My mom also made the girls beautiful matching Easter dresses and they look great. I wish I could sew like that but maybe one day. She was only able to stay a couple days and had to go be with my grandparents. My Papa is not doing well and I am glad she is able to be with them both during this difficult time. So please lift my family up in your prayers as we are unsure about how long my sweet Papa will be with us. My mom is coming back soon to visit some more with us.
WORM, WORMS, & MORE WORMS....... so I decided to start my own composting worm farm. They eat all your perishable trash and they make great soil for your garden and plants. I try to keep as much out of my trash as possible and I was attracting everything animal in a 5 mile radius by throwing food out in my back yard and with my girls there is a lot of waste. I got on line started doing research and I placed the order. I went in with a friend of mine so it would save on shipping etc.. My little wriggly friends arrived on Monday all 2000 of them. =) At first I was asking myself what I got into because I make this container of nice bedding for the worms, I did everything the research told me to do, but no matter what this creatures continued to try to crawl out and escape from their container, which has a lid. As you can see from the second picture the lid is taped completely shut. The reason is because the first night we had them I kept the container in the house because it was going to freeze outside. I woke up in the middle of the night because I kept hearing this beeping noise in my house, it was driving me crazy. Anyway I go downstairs and standing in kitchen waiting to hear the beep again when all the sudden I notice a worm in the middle of the floor. So I turn the light on and to my horror there are worms all over the floor! I start to panic but decide to start the worm roundup. So there I am at 3 am trying to pick up all these worms out of my floor. It is pretty funny to look back on it now. So that is why the lid is taped shut and thankfully no more worms got out. The next morning I did find one casualty because I missed seeing it. I did put more bedding and soil in the container and they don't even try to crawl out now. The weather is warming up so I am looking forward to putting our slimy friends outside. I never did find out what was beeping in my house and have not heard it since.
