Garden!

This week we planted a little mini raised garden in our backyard. We have this little hidden space behind our garage, so we decided to try gardening in that little spot. Hopefully we won't kill it all or feed the squirrels and raccoons...

But we have a little squash, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and watermelon! Hopefully by summer we will have some vegetables. 

Burke said he wanted no part of the garden but, of course, because he's the best dad/husband he helped us out!

"Marin, where's your garden?"

This girl LOVES her garden. She really did all the work. Didn't want me to do anything.
So I just helped dig the hole and she put the plant down and buried it...all by herself. So very proud. 

Our garden.
Hollis was napping during this part and we were trying to beat the rain.
But I saved her a tomato plant to plant in the black pot.
She did help water the garden which is probably their favorite part. 

Marin made a little garden book in our "mom school". Her she is reading all the things are garden needs to grow.

In other news, we started the "Intro to Potty Training" with Hollis. She got to pick out her very own pair of panties. The ones she chose....Mickey Mouse Superhero boys underwear. Ha! She completely had her heart set on them! So stinkin' cute. Of course, they don't know the difference and she wanted to go to bed wearing her "mickey superhewo" panties. It's a start!
