We had a pretty busy weekend, but very productive to say the least. We have talked, since we moved here, that we were going to attempt a garden and after talking w/ my sister...we decided to attempt a "family" garden over at her place. We had no clue what we were doing, but thanks to Pinterest and a few of my sister's gardening friends, we got a few pointers and off we went. We planted a lot...peas, corn, peppers, tomatoes, green beans, pumpkins, watermelon, cabbage, lettuce, carrots, sunflowers, and we are going to attempt potatoes, as well (I think that's it?). The kids, were so cute, as they really enjoyed hoeing, planting the seeds, watering, putting the stakes down...they just had a ball. Colin, well, he loved the dirt. I will say that boy, this weekend, has been a chatter box and wow, it is so fun to hear him communicate. He was so cute, I just love watching him. Anyway, back to the garden, we did have a minor mishap...Ethan accidentally let my sister's dog out and it took about 20 minutes before Jamisyn caught him, but once she got him back home, we got back to business and finalized our very 1st garden. I pray, if not everything, a few things take and we can at least have something to "harvest" so the kids can see the end result. This was our experiment year, so if nothing else, we've learned a few things. I'm so thankful to be a street away from my sister and her family, b/c the memories we are making are absolutely priceless!!!!
