Mother Nature makes the perfect backdrop.

I said Jack and A.J. were excited about the garden, didn't I?

Here is Jack, playing while holding onto things most important to him: his Sippy cup and his pumpkin seeds.


Jack and his new favorite possessions.


A.J.'s the same. He held onto his green bean seeds the whole time he was on the horsey:


A.J. and the green bean seeds.

And also this one:


Jack clutches the pumpkin seeds while he's on the trapeze rings.

The above three pictures were all from yesterday. The boys wouldn't let go of their seeds the entire time that Annie was laying out her garden's map.

The next few pictures are from today, taken during the four hours we were outside this afternoon/evening:


A.J. tries to drown out the ground squirrels with his little watering can.


Brad Thrasher tills up the area where Annie's garden will be.
It's approximately a 12x12-foot patch. :-)


Jack and Rudi pretend to be a runaway train inside Thomas the Tank Engine.

You're such a good mommy. Your love for your little boys comes shining through.

Adam was Percy for Halloween last year. Angus made him an adorable costume out of cardboard and foam material. And paint. Lots and lots of paint.

If you have a picture, I know that Jack would *love* to see it. One of his preschool friends was Thomas last year, and when Jack first laid eyes on him, you could practically read his expression of, "I don't wanna be a T-Rex anymore; I wanna be Thomas," written all over his face!

I don't have any on disc, but I can send you one via snail mail if you think you might want to use it for a pattern idea.
