Now that we've settled into the house
and have mainly finished with the
inside decorating,
Larry and I have become motivated
to start on the outside.
We've been bouncing ideas around for ages
about doing this or doing that,
but what it comes down to is time.
With the kids and other responsibilities
it seems to take everything to
line up PERFECTLY to get us
working outside.
My biggest worry has become energy.
Because lately my cup is 1/2 empty
and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to
help with water, planting or any of the upkeep.
Plus it seems I need Larry's help to pull
1/2 my work load too and I wasn't sure
I would be willing to share him with
the weeds, lawn and flowers.
But Larry couldn't be stopped.
He inspired us all to pull weeds in the evenings,
plant flowers in the front yard
and then he "jimmy-ed" a garden box
for the back yard too.

Never too late! You live in the southern half of the country, haver mild winters . . . hahaha . . just had to throw that one in. But your snow did come after a lengthy Fall. You can grow stuff for quite awhile.
After you bring the new bambino home, just think how much you can enjoy sending the rest of the kids out to pull weeds or just enjoy looking out the window at the colors OR have an excuse to go out and get some fresh air. Smart hubby you've got there! . . . in my humble opinion . . .
Buy the kids those plastic watering cans from the $1 section at Target and make them do it. Emma *loves* watering the garden. And your Emma and Sydney are old enough that they could probably do it without supervision! What kid doesn't like to play with the hose? :)
Hey cutie! You are so blooming incredible! The kids will love the veggie garden! Minnie and Sammy LOVE ours! I don't know if you already filled the box with dirt, but I was a little worried about the boards in the bottom of the box. If you haven't filled it yet, take the boards out. The earth worms will come up through the grass that will eventually die and it's also better for drainage.
Miss you guys!!!
Hey thats better than us! We just pulled weeds, raked and mowed this past weekend. Forget the garden, maybe next year.
