Utah finally decided to give us another Saturday where we could get some yardwork done! It seems like every Saturday has been rainy, which can be both good and bad. It's good for the lawn, and has kept the house cool, and it's been nice to just sit inside and play with the kids because there isn't much else we can do when the weather's bad, but it's bad as well because we can see all of the yard work out there waiting for us.
Last Saturday we took full advantage of the beautiful 74 degree temps and planted a ton of flowers. Well, okay so Brit did most of the planting I was in charge of keeping the kids occupied. To do this I took them on a shopping trip from hell. (For all of you parents you'll know what I'm talking about... it's the supposed 15 minute trip that turns into 2 hours because of potty breaks, tantrums, Walmart being out of stock on stuff, Home Depot being out of stock on stuff, and so on...) Yeah, good times! At least I was able to keep the kids occupied while Brit planted flowers. While Carson was down for his nap Brooklyn and I went out to help and Brooklyn had a blast. She had her gardening hat, her gardening "glubs" and her gardening shovel on in no time and was a great little helper. She watered, dug holes and held up flowers while I filled in the dirt around them. She's amazing, and kept asking me what she could do next to "get dirty." I envy her happy go lucky attitude! Here are some pics of her from last Saturday:
