More gardening

Our garden has not done so good so far this year. I was getting much more upset than I anticipated. I didn't realize how much I LOVE gardening. I love getting up early in the morning and watering it with my coffee in hand. I love watching it grow. I especially love picking out fresh organic fruits and vegetables before supper. I asked Tim the other day to please! please! stop on his way home from work to pick up some plants for me. I usually don't ask for much so he knew this was something I really wanted. We all worked most of the day outside yesterday planting and pulling weeds. I am very thankful to have a garden to water this morning...I woke up thinking about it.

Tim got free tickets to pole night at the race track so after supper we tried our best to wipe all the dirt off the youngins and head to some free entertainment. I was hesitant to go but we ended up having a great time. The kids loved it. Tim and I were on, " covering ears duty," due to the loud race cars. When it was Jeff Gordon's turn Tim told willow that it was him. She said, "how did you know his name?!" On the way home she insisted on being a girl race car driver. This doesn't surprise me one bit. On the way home we got some frostys at Wendi's and ate them on the porch. Ty was harassing everyone to get as much icecream as he could,

luckily there were plenty of us willing to share:) 

Time to go water the garden with early bird Zoe!

Planting the garden

Last night after supper we headed outside to get the garden planted before the rain this weekend. Willow loves to dig in the dirt, Zoe on the other hand was busy taking care of her babies. She would put them in the swing, then to the chair for a nap. Ty was loving the leaves. It was a full time job to keep the leaves out of his mouth. Tim and the girls stayed out until dark. At the end Zoe started helping and they came in filthy but with smiles on their faces. Tim gave them both a dollar for working hard. They were so excited! Tim then had all of us sit down and he prayed for God to bless our garden. I'm so grateful for a man of God to help teach our children to see God in every aspect of life. He is showing them that we have to rely on God for everything and that He is in control. We are so blessed to have Him as the leader of our home.
