Spring 2011 marked the year of our first real garden. Thanks to the boys for building me the garden boxes that I wanted and looking so cute while doing it.

| Here he is saying "wow". Clearly, I'm not the only one impressed with the boys' handiwork. |
Timmy is at the age where he wants to help with everything. Perfect, because we want to show him how to do everything! He and I planted the seeds together. Even Jack planted some of the bulbs.
We have been having fun going outside and picking lettuce for salads, burgers, you name it. I haven't bought lettuce for months now, and boy does this fresh lettuce sure make a difference in taste and color. It's lovely!
The boys have also taken up painting as an alternative to coloring. Apparently painting is more fun. Of course it is. I know one thing, it's waaaay more fun to clean up ;)

| Someone is proud of their masterpiece! |
Timmy made a total of 6 paintings on this particular afternoon. I told him how a lot of paintings happen to have names, so that he might want to name them. I don't recall what all of them were, but I do remember two of them: "Sunset" and "Flesh". He then gifted them to his cousin Addie. What a guy. Let's hope she'll hold on to them, you never know what might end up being famous!
