More Gardening

Jared spent our spring break working in Northern California.  We thought about going with him, but since it was a pretty intense training session, we stayed here.  We planned short day-trip type activites, and overall enjoyed our break!  I had each of the kids write down some things they wanted to do, and I told them that MY break would be sleeping in every morning.  :)  So, we went to Jump on it (has a bunch of trampolines and a foam pit), watched the movie Rango, spent a day at the zoo, and another day at the Children's Museum.  We also spent some time watching Phineas and Ferb (cartoon, and if you haven't watched it, imagine a show about Calvin and Hobbes where they never get caught when they exercise their imaginations).  I did get to sleep in until 7 every day.  Some days it was 8!

Jared got back Thursday night, and we have some pipes to put into the ground:

 As you can see, he's getting help with the trench-digging.  I'm excited to get these all filled back in, because our dogs have found several interesting ways to use the trenches in their escape plans.  That is why they are spending today in their kitchen kennel. 

We've also got some seeds started, and hopefully they'll do well enough for us to plant them in our (not yet existing) garden plot in June.  Walker actually put the dirt into the egg cartons, and labeled them neatly for me.
