When Will The Last Frost Come?
Apr
24
JJ had his last final on Wednesday and he had the day off yesterday. We accomplished a lot!
First we went to few insurance companies to compare insurance rates for car and home insurance as our car insurance policy ends today. We currently have State Farm for car and Allstate for home so we are trying to find the best deal and have both insurances with one company. We haven’t settled on a company as everyone who has Quest for their internet service were all having problems with their internet so we couldn’t get quotes from them.
After this we went home for lunch then I took Sariah and Rebekah to playgroup at a playground while JJ mowed the grass and turned the soil for our garden. Sounds like a fair trade-off, right? The girls had a lot of fun at the playground and they were very good at leaving the playground when I told them that it was time to go home.
Then it was nap time for the kids while JJ and I finished getting the garden ready for planting. When the kids woke up we went to walmart to get some gardnening gloves as JJ got blisters. We also got some Jalapeno Pepper seeds (we want to grow everything we need to make our own salsa!) Sariah and Rebekah wanted watermelon seeds so we decided to give watermelons a try as well! I still want to get strawberry and blueberry bushes – yummy!
Now we just need to wait for the weather to be consistently nice so we can but our plants outside. After a beautiful warm week, it is supposed to drop back into the 30′s next week! Our green beans look like they are getting too big to stay in the started pots so hopefully we can get them outside soon. Here is what our indoor garden looks like so far:

I *just* came inside from putting my starter plants in the garden!
Also crossing my fingers that the weather stays like this — most of my plants were just too big to stay inside any longer!

Hey we have Mercury for the car. They are by far the cheapest. Check them out.
