Garden!
This afternoon when Alexis woke up from her nap we went outside and worked on the garden! I got my strawberry bed put in:
And I added another 8 feet to my garden:
If you'd like to see what it looked like last year you can do so here.
Alexis adores being outside so she had a blast! Unfortunately though she doesn't like to stay just in the back yard and since we don't have a fence this can cause issues. Luckily we are getting a fence soon so this will no longer be an issue, but we'll have to put a gate at the top of the stairs to the basement because those can be an issue too.
Today Alexis discovered the water hose again:
She would go around picking it up and if I had it on to water something she would come over and stick her hands in the spray. Cold water does not phase this kid. She loves it!
She also commandeered Katherine's grape juice:
And apparently the only way to drink grape juice is with your butt sticking out in the air!
As you can see grape juice is quite refreshing on a warm spring day, but it turns your face purple.
And if Aunt Katherine decides she wants a drink of her juice, since after all it is her cup, a fit must be pitched!
Rearranging Mom's plants is also great fun:
It's amazing how much time this can consume.
They look much better here!
And you're not a child if you don't get a little mud on yourself:
Because after all if you're playing with a water hose and dirt in a garden a little mud will be made!
As you can see we had a fun afternoon. I did however run out of compost and I need to get some more mulch, so Alexis and I will have to make another run to Home Depot soon.
I hope you had a fun afternoon too!

You hear that Dianne, she's taunting you, she grew a jungle and all you've got is a garden and flower bed. Are you going to take that laying down. ;p
