Busy Saturday...

Today we planted a garden.

Last night we went to lowe's to get supplies

The boys picked out some potted flowers

They also picked out 2 packages of seeds each for the garden.

Garrett picked pumpkins, and yellow squash.

Mikey picked peas and carrots.

He said that the peas were his "special favorites."

I am sure he has never eaten a pea in his life.

Anyway, mikey wakes up this morning at 6:30 ready to plant.

Guess what?

We forgot to get shovels.

Seriously!

So off to walmart we go.

2 wheelbarrows, 4 shovels, 2 buckets, and 2 trellis's later
Mikey looks at me and says,
"wow mom, we got yada stuff to do today"

So as soon as we get home, we soak the dirt and start digging.

Mikey is the cleanest dirty kid I know. He loves to dig in the dirt,

but hates to have dirt on him. See the longsleeve shirt, gloves and boots.

Not a inch of skin exposed to dirt.

Garrett on the other hand isn't complete without some mud on him at all times.

He picked this outfit out all by himself.

I am not sure what he is digging for, but he's is cute either way.

He was a big helper when it came to running the shovel.

Very serious, but still very helpful.
At the end of the day, we planted a few different kinds of flowers

carrots, strawberries, peas, watermelon, cantaloupe, pumpkins, and according to Mikey

a marshmallow tree.

Hopefully that works out for him.

It was a long busy day, but it was fun.

The boys are exhausted and sound asleep.
