Fruit and Vegetable Garden

Easter weekend we made a vegetable and fruit garden in our backyard with planters boxes. We planted carrots, broccoli, leafy greens, green onions, lots of strawberries, squash and pumpkin. We also have  around our backyard a lemon tree, an orange tree, a tomato plant, a blubbery plant and a raspberry plant. We should just be farmers! Seriously though, I just got back from Whole Foods and paid 5.99 each for little boxes of strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, so I will be so happy when we can just pick our own in our backyard. I've started to really feel guilty we haven't been eating much organic produce and so we're finally making the change. Even though its more expensive I think its worth it.

Both our kids LOVE to be outdoors, so they love checking on how our fruits and veggies are growing!

We also released the butterflies we have had since our little boy's first birthday party. We watched them grow from little caterpillars to big butterflies which was pretty fun! 

Fun at the Park

Our weekend was a mix of fun and not so fun. Saturday it was pouring rain, and there's really not much to do on those days besides clean the house, which is obviously not so fun! But Sunday was beautiful and sunny. My daughter had a friends birthday party to go to in the morning, and she had so much fun running around with her friends and getting her face painted. Afterwards we spent some good quality family time walking through the nature preserve to our local park. It really was such a fun day. At the park we even saw a goldendoodle dog, which my daughter loved. It almost made me want to consider getting a dog for our family..almost!

See how beautiful it was out?! And our little boy with his cute hat on that makes him look so much older!

She loved her butterfly face, and insisted that her daddy play with her the whole time we were at the park!

He could NOT handle the goldendoodle dog at the park. He kept pointing and says "Ooohh" until I finally walked him over to the dog to say hi. 

We ended our weekend having dinner at our favorite neighbors house and played a fun game of Cranium.
