Gardening

What do you do on a BEAUTIFUL Sunday afternoon?  Garden of course.  Today we spent the entire afternoon outside enjoying the glorious weather.  The boys played in the backyard, dug up rocks, buried them in the sandbox, rode bikes and played ball.  Cody got the sprinkler system up and running which means everyone in the family was wet sometime during the day.  Our little helpers even assisted in cleaning out the flower beds and watering the potted plants.  We watered….and watered…..and watered.  As you can see we spent a lot of time watering. 



Case’s newest obsession is hunting.  He wants to hunt morning, noon and night.  It can be 6 am and he wants to go hunting.  Our hunting sessions include driving in a pretend car over rough terrain, using binoculars to spot an animal, figuring out what kind of animal we have spotted, loading the gun with bullets and aiming.  At this point the animal may or may not run/fly away.  If the animal flees we go back to the binocular step.  If not we shoot the animal, retrieve the animal and then start all over.  The trip takes us all over the house and even baby Cole will join in and make pretend shooting noises.  I hope this phase doesn’t last as long as his obsession with dinosaurs did because I am going bonkers with his unrelenting talk of hunting.  God bless his little hunters soul.
