Rainy day gardening

Today was a rainy day, so my mom came over to plant some flowers with the boys. We decided the kitchen was the safest spot, excuse all the apple boxes stacked up in one corner and the misc pile in another corner, the kitchen has fallen victim to my purging spree and I'm still right in the middle of getting together all my donation items. I'm hoping to be done with that project by the end of the month, it's taking longer than I expected - where did all this crap come from????

Anyhow, pictures of the boys planting their "gardens". We should have flowers in about a week.

Putting fish in the pond

My parents had their pond dug out to be bigger last fall, and they've been planting things in and around it, and decided to put fish in as well.

The boys and I picked up 250 goldfish from the local pet store after our park playdate, and took them over to let them free into the pond.















This is some kind of grosbeak that landed on my parents' deck while we were there.





This is a pawprint we found in the mud, possibly a possum or baby raccoon. We found a much bigger print nearby that was definitely raccon, but my camera batteries chose that minute to die, so no pictures :(

Park playdate with April, Cindy, and their boys.

We met my friends April and Cindy at a new park today, it was a lot of fun. The park had really cool equipment to play on. April and Cindy each have 2 boys, as do I, so we had 6 boys total today!

I might have more pictures later, I need to ask April and Cindy if I can post pictures that include their children.
