5 Question Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!  I have not done one of these in awhile.   

1. What is your favorite sign of spring?
All the yucky snow melting and being washed away...I still have some in my flower beds.  I just love watching spring flowers popping up beneath the soil to brighten the day!

2. What was your best birthday ever?
Would have to be my 19th Birthday!  My boyfriend(now my husband)surprised me with a limo and took me bar hopping! (Drinking age is 19 in Canada)  It was the best surprise!  But not best surprise ever...My hubby keeps surprising me all the time!  Love you Jason xoxoxox

3. What is your favorite dessert?
Hmmmm...This one is tough.  I really don't like desserts...I know strange.  I will eat one if there is one offered.  But I won't go out of my way to make one unless it is for somebody else like birthday cakes and sometime company.  But I do love a piece of dark chocolate with a nice red wine!  One of our at home date night treats!

4. What is the best excuse you've ever used to get out of a ticket?
You can get out of tickets???  

5. Do you wake up before your alarm, with your alarm, or after hitting snooze several times?
Depends on how tired I am.  Today was with the alarm..this is my preferred method of waking up!  I hate waking up before the alarm, I need all the rest I can 
get...you know beauty sleep and all that  :)

Why is the Sky Blue? UBP10 AFTER PARTY

Ultimate Blog Party 2010 Wow!  Boy was that a fun party that 5minsformom hosted for all of us!  I've been hoping around so much!  Now it is time for the After Party!
I visited so many new blogs!  And a follower of so many!  Here is a few of the new ones I follow...
Tori Close, 5 Vinez Monkeys, Mommy Monologues, I'm a Lazy Mom, Miss Fit, Thinking Outside The Box, Home is Where the Coffee is, A Foodie Fairytale, Dinners and Dreams, Susie B. Homemaker, Mama's Birds Nest, Jo's Health Corner, Pull up your potty seat, this could take awhile, Latte Mama, My Sweet and Savory.
If you visited my blog post for the party you would see the questions I asked!  And my favorite one is "Why is the sky blue?"  And I was so pleased that so many people answered!  I love all the answers!  These are all of them in the order that I received them!  Do you have a different answer?  Why do you think the sky is blue?


I'll tell you what my son told me....because it's not green. - Marsha
Because God decided to smile on us today and give us sun after all these blustery winter days! - Tori
I'll tell you what my kids tell me, "Because God made it that way. Duh." - Angie
The sky is blue cuz it's a bright, sunny and cloudless morning here in California. - Bri
b/c it's pretty that way? not very creative, but I tried :) - Kate
because I live in Florida and it's just about blue everyday..and God designed it that way ;-) -NSPHW
Thats the way God designed it. - MS
The sky is blue because our amazing God knew how much we'd love it! - Kirstin
The sky is blue because it wants the sun to come out! - Miss Fit
I should know this ... I just taught my second grader Earth Science last semester! ;) - Carrie
because God said so :)- i am sure it has something to do with reflections, etc- - - - Bree
IDK, but as long as your eyeshadow isn't that color, we're good! lol - Lissa
The sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. That's what google told me. ;) - PLA
As far as the sky...I don't really have a good idea for that, but I love the eyeshadow comment up above! :) - Amy
? - Nisrine
it is an illusion - Jennifer
It's a reflection from the ocean. - Tiffany
The sky is blue 'cause that's how God made it! :) - Susie B.
the sky is blue because it would be weird to look up and see a purple one. - Staci
because...hmmm, you know I have no idea. lol - Kristi
hmmmm, something about polution probably! - Amy
The sky isn't really blue! It has to do with Rayleigh Scattering and it is reflected Blue light that makes our sky blue!(i know it's a lot more complicated than that though!) - Alexis
The sky isn't really blue but I would need my nephew to tell you all the scientific details. - K
Because an orange sky would just be weird.- BWC
Because any other color would look funny! - Melissa
Um, is this a trick question? LOL - J
My kids would answer your question about the sky being blue with a "because." S and S
The sky is blue because God made it that way. (I think it is interesting how many people have skipped this question....)  - Jenny
Because it would not look right any other way. - Lisa

Ok so this is what I can think of that may interest you all!

1.  I break out into song and dance to get my kids attention. This happens daily, sometimes more than once.  The kids now ignore me when I do this, but that doesn't stop me :)
2.  I told you all that I mostly wear green..Then after I posted I realized I lied and I mostly wear purple.  Needed to clear that up...I am sure you all have see pics of me on the blog and I am never wearing green.
3.  I have to force myself to eat fruit...I would rather eat veggies instead.  Unless someone else will wash and prepare it...but than some times I take a bite out of a nice apple and think why don't I do this more often?  It is so good!
4.  I love British comedies!  The older ones are the best!  Allo, Allo... some newer ones Black Books, and Coupling, oh and  I absolutely love Doctor Who!!!!
5.  I much rather wear a skirt than my blue jeans...Long or knee length, the frumpier the better!  My daughter also has this love of skirts too!
6.  I drive a very cute purple car...a vw cabriolet!  And it not my first purple car either! 
7.  I am also very good at playing air piano and air guitar...I learned this from my very creative son!  It is so much fun!  You all should try it with your kids!


So that was easy :) 
Congrats to all the winners...Post your award with pride you all deserve it!

Our first outdoor picnic!

Well our park had 2 new picnic tables installed this year and the kids have been waiting for a nice day to try them out!  So today is about 15 out and sunny so perfect time to go!  Looked in the fridge and cupboards and didn't have anything "fun" to bring....So our first stop was the grocery store.  We found some yummy pink triangle treats!  Chicken Caesar salad, fresh rolls, Baba ganoush(will not buy again to salty and to much mayonnaise, homemade is so much better!)and fruit!  Yummy!

Organic

Yesterday I visited Oak Manor Farms http://www.oakmanorfarms.com/default.php .  I bought organic flour and organic beans at very reasonable prices.  Prices are cheaper if you visit the farm than ordering online.  I think this just may be one of my favourite places to shop for my organic grains!

 If you want to read why organic is the better way to go I have put a link to a recent Natural News Article.
