Spring Flowers

On Easter Sunday we ran to the hardware store to pick up some flowers to plan around our little trees in the front yard. Mark built the nice stone circular beds around them last year and we were looking for something that would add a little color and have nice coverage. We decided on creeping phlox. James REALLY got into the digging part. He was grubby from head to toe. Literally; in the hair, in the toes. He even sampled some of the dirt (which really grossed me out--I don't care how typical it is of little boys).

I ended up taking photos and attempting to corral and manage James. Planting flowers 'family style' probably wasn't the most productive way to accomplish the task, but it was memorable!

James had a hard time keeping from chewing on or throwing the mulch.

His favorite part (by far) was learning that water comes out of the hose! And that he gets to drink it!! It takes a lot of coaxing to get him to drink much water out of his sippy cup (he loves milk) but he will chug it out of the hose or a straw. Funny boy...
