The Crombies: In case you're wondering...

....I am still here. :) After Kristin posted last night, I thought I should probably put something up.

I just haven't blogged about it because we have been so busy! We're leaving for Hawaii next week, and we have SO much to accomplish between now and then.

Briefly, I'll try to catch everyone up a little bit before you see the pics of my planting ambitions. (Or you can just cheat and scroll down!)

I've been nannying - a lot. The kiddos are getting more acclimated to me (the little ones), so sometimes "quiet time" and down time have been quite challenging (they do not nap). The older two are still super helpful, and although our typical routine has been shaken up, it's always nice to have some big kids to talk to and ask for help from. Although I think they miss having me all to themselves.

Robert's been working - a lot. Several weeks in a row, he's worked every shift that he's been scheduled for, called in to, and he's even been picking up shifts here and there. What a blessing to us! He's really tired, though. I'm trying so hard to have the house cleaned up and meals planned out and ready to go when he comes home from work. I feel so badly when he has to help me with stuff like that. But like I said - I've been busy, too.

Softball started last week - we lost the first two games - and we are supposed to play again tonight. It's definitely not the same as when Robert was coaching, but that's about all I'm willing to say (conflict of interests, since my hubby was the coach, and stepped down this year to be a Commissioner in the league).

Yesterday, I got to go up to the Weinberg's and spend some time with them. What a nice morning it was! It was so great for me to get out and do something different.

Anyway, here's some pictures of my plants. :)

Admittedly, the chives haven't sprouted. I've been watering them way too much, according to my mom, whose chives are growing UPSIDE DOWN out the side of the planter box on the side of her house, left over from LAST year.
