Presley's Garden

Since we had a really warm winter, and spring is just around the corner, we decided to go ahead and replant our garden this past weekend. Presley had so much fun helping us pick out all the vegetables and herbs, so we thought she might like to have her very own plants. She got to pick out two pots and two packages of seeds at Home Depot.

Since both Blaine and myself definitely do not have a green thumb, we decided not to pass this trait down to Presley. Before planting her flowers, we had a little lesson on how to make plants grow. Since she can already read and spell the words "sun" and "water" we knew she would pick this up pretty quickly.

She loved making her little book and was so excited to start planting her flowers!

Getting ready to plant her seeds with Dadda. She picked out two kinds, marigolds and sunflowers.

She had so much fun watering her plants that we decided to let her help us with the rest of the garden. Her new favorite phrase is "Presley do it!", so without any help from us, she wanted to water the tomato plants all by herself.

Here's what Becks was doing while we were in the yard. We bundled him up and brought his swing outside. Sweet little boy slept the whole time while we worked in the garden.

Presley decided that since planting and watering were so much fun, she wanted to try raking too. You go girl! This may not always seem like fun to her so we will take the help whenever we can get it!

We had so much fun spending the day outside together working in the backyard. I can't wait for all of our veggies and herbs to start growing!
