May 2013 – The Adventures of a Calamari Queen

Mothers Day 2013

We celebrated Mothers Day with my Mom In Law’s side of the family. We had hotdogs and grilled chicken/fruit kabobs(that I forgot to take pictures). Every mothers day we go to my husbands grandmother’s house. I love her yard, so spacious and lots of pretty flowers like Lilacs tree. She said if we want we can get as much as we can,so of course I asked the hubs to “pick” enough to bring home with us. He didn’t disappoint! The house looks like a florist shop right now but I love it..hehe..smells so good right now because of the lilacs. Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there, especially to my Mom and MIL Kathy, both whom I admired and look up to.

Birthdays

Last week we celebrated my Parent In-Laws birthday’s (they decided to combine their b-day celebrations). We had hamburgers and a yummy cake. It was a relaxing time. I’m truly blessed in the In-Laws department because we honestly get along very well.

Gardening

Nursery date with MIL,she helped me picked these pretties

The weather here in the PNW is just gorgeous! The last couple of weeks I’ve been into gardening because of the weather and I really enjoy growing our own food. We did it last year and I think it was a success. Lots of herbs and veggies like broccoli and zucchini. I will take more pictures once I’m done because I’m just starting and I still have plans to buy more herbs and veggies. Are you going to have a garden this year?

Lots of spinach here,looking forward to have spinach in my scramble eggs! — Lots of spinach here,looking forward to have spinach in my scrambled eggs!
