what to do when the sewing machines are unplugged? sew outside!
we headed out to dump some dirt and seeds in pots that my neighbor loaned me for the growing season.
Clover was planting some dirt in the ice tray
they were kind enough to fill my mop bucket up with dirt too.
a few rows of lettuce
gloves. very helpful while sitting on the table.
Violet decided to go swimming in the lid of the sandbox. after that, she became a walking mudball.
It occurs to me now that there are almost no pictures of the planting process. They are pretty much all of the girls acting like wild animals.
mmm, is this dirt organic?
Violet had inhaled water off the sandbox, cried, and then went back for more. There is seriously something wrong with my kids.
like a beautiful dirt cocktail.
OMG I am covered in dirt, and I got a piece of dried paint on my fingertip!!!!!
she's just making sure she got all the dirt off the high chair
this was my pot marking choice. I just shaved some bark off with a potato peeler and wrote in sharpie. done!


















Love these pics!!! This is exactly what we were doing this morning...well, I was gardening and the kids were sitting in the garden, playing in the mud, the birdbath...you know...and then I disrobed them on the deck before going inside...I wonder when that no longer is acceptable...to take their dirty clothes off outside before letting them in?...And, I love the picture of monkey Clover climbing on your pallet!
