Garden Time!

We've wanted to plant a garden for a few years now but have never done it, with school and newborns there just wasn't time. This year we are jumping in and giving it a try. We bought supplies this morning and got to work.

With the raspberry bushes

They're ready to help!

Using a new shovel.

Miss Attitude!

Peppers, corn, carrots, lima beans, onion, and watermelons.

Raspberries!!

I bought some blackberries the other day and luckily both kids like them. Adam ate five, which is a lot for him when he's eating something new, and Ellie ended up eating 16 I think. That's all she would eat for lunch!

March 22, 2010 -- A Day Outside

It's beginning to get nice more often and as soon as the kids wake up they are asking to go outside.

Pigtails

Ellie's hair is finally long enough to put into pigtails. I usually only did the top and left the back down but yesterday I got it all up, at least for a little bit.

Random

Our new camping chairs.

The kids hide here all the time and really think we can't see them!

Ellie always put one sock on her foot and the other on her hand.

It was finally a warm day

We finally had a warm enough day to get outside so we took advantage of it!

Mall

We were bored last weekend and decided to go to the mall for some shopping, playing, and dinner.

Riding the train.

Adam picked out this shirt for Bradley.

Ellie was tired of shopping.

Dinner at Steak 'n Shake

Butterfly House

We finally made it to the Butterfly House today with our playgroup. I wasn't sure what it would involve or if the kids would be entertained very long but we had a blast. We will definitely be going back when it's warmer so we can hit the playground and carousel too.

Ellie checking out the centipedes.

Adam found one!

Adam and Isaiah checking out the cacoons.

Biggest butterfly I've ever seen! That would definitely scare me if it landed on me.
