We spent the afternoon outside today. It
was beautiful. We went out to plant veggies in the garden and
our neighbors (daddy and 2yr old) came to help and another
neighbor (8yr old) also came to help. It was so fun. I dug
little trenches and they planted the seeds. Then the 8yr old
watered the garden and the little boys got their little rakes
and we raked the back yard for awhile. Our yard is full of pine
needles and leaves from last fall. The daddy also did some
raking, which was the most real help of the afternoon! The
three boys played together and had a great time. Eve wasn’t
sleeping very soundly and kept fussing, but around 5pm Jan, our
Good Beginnings volunteer, showed up and held Eve so I could do
some raking as well. It was a beautiful afternoon! I love our
house and our neighborhood.
