I had an absolutely awesome Mother's Day weekend. First of all, I didn't have to work which makes it awesome right there. Saturday morning started out with Karsten working, so my mom came over and us and the boys headed over to Prairie to get some garden stuff. Mom has had a small garden for a few years now and this year I asked if we could add a few rows of veggies for ourselves. I've tried a garden in the past and never really followed thru so I figured we'd try Mom's this year to see how it goes. I'm excited for the boys to experience this and help with the entire process.
Here's the before. Mom had actually already put some onions and potatoes in before we got there but you get the idea.
Jackson was actually pretty good help. He enjoyed putting in the green bean seeds and covering them up with dirt. He REALLY enjoyed watering the broccoli, kohlrabi, tomato and pepper plants after they were planted.
Tristan was really no help at all. And because he was no help, I was no help since I was constantly trying to "corral" him. He kept walking across the plants and trying to pull on the leaves. He's 1, what can you expect.
After we got done at Mom's with the garden we headed home for some lunch. Tristan then took his afternoon nap. Our neighbor Carol had her son and great grandson at her house. Braydon is about the same age as Jackson, give or take a couple months. They played ALL afternoon. They were in the sandbox, in the boat, hitting baseballs, hitting golf balls, you name it. They had so much fun! Carol and her son Steve even took the boys up to Monona for some ice cream. We ended our Saturday with supper at "Old MacDonalds" and grocery shopping at WalMart. We had 2 very tired boys that night.
