May 20th, 2011 This year's Garden

I remember planting the garden last year with William-pretty cute. This year-pretty hilarious! Of course, his attention span isn't very long, but he got it down pretty quick what's required to plant a seed (probably because he's seen his mom plant quite a few in his lifetime!). I'll let the pictures (and video) tell the story... I would hand him a seed and point to where he needed to put it. Then he would plop it in it's spot and push it down with his finger (I didn't even have to tell him. I guess he's seen me do it quite a few times!)

Matina @ 31 weeks (with her first), Melissa @ 12 weeks (this is what happens when your body knows what being pregnant is all about-you pop right out there!).
