garden party

have i mentioned the garden parties of my childhood?

my dad has a huge green thumb. 

and when i say huge, i mean AMAZING gardener.

as a child, i would help him in the garden on saturdays.

i would crack open watermelons and pomegranates, 

and eat them straight off the vine/tree.

it was bliss.

so today, i was excited to get the kids involved in 

our gardening process.

   

   the boy found worms.

"he's my friend" is what he kept saying.

                  while the girl played and the mister laid 

           mulch around the beds. 

                

                                                                                                                                                                                                         

we're almost ready to plant our seeds!

oh, and i raked.

a lot!
