Garden Time!

Every 3 year old boy should have a garden- because what 3 year old boy doesn't love playing in dirt?!  The boys have been very excited to be outside getting our garden ready for planting.  Speckled in between some seriously rainy days have been some absolutely gorgeous sunny days and we've tried to take full advantage of those- being outside from morning until night!  On Saturday the boys spent the afternoon helping prepare fresh "dirt" to add to our raised beds.  They poured, shoveled, mixed, watered, and even helped push the wheelbarrow!  I love that what many perceive as work is simply having fun to them.  I guess life is all about perceptions, isn't it?

Mixing some compost into our soil

Good thing we've got big strong helpers :)

Dumping!

They think this is a fire hose and they are firemen :)
