We did a lot of just hanging around this weekend. By the end of the week we finished putting our garden in! We have peppers, cucumbers, roma and grape tomatos, zuchini and red onions in the raised planter in the front. We will be putting beans and peas in pots on the back patio. We have watermelons along our back fenceline. Alex has a little bucket he painted with some sunflower seeds on the front step and they are growing well enough that we will have to transplant them soon! So we played outside a lot, planted a few last flowers and watered everything. I also have a clothesline now!
Alex is developing quite the slapshot, he isn't happy with his toy hockey stick anymore either. He wanted Ben's full size one.
Saturday afternoon we went next door for a graduation party for a little while.
Sunday we had our normal bakery run and grocery shopping in the morning and church in the evening.
Alex drew a picture during church and told Evie (one of the wonderful ladies who works the "nursery" at church) a whole story about it and she was nice enough to write the story on the back of the picture for us. He drew Noah's Ark (a line and some dots), a bug ( a squiggly circle) and a tiger ( a letter "H" with a green scribble next to it).
Here is the story:
"A tiger and a bug came. The tiger made Noah sad and then the tiger changed into a bug and it runned away and then Noah was happy and then Noah was sad again because he didn't have any friends. The other animals are Noah's friends and then he was happy again."
I am so thankful that she wrote that down for us!
Monday was really nice so we decided to do some geocaching in the afternoon. We had terrible luck finding the caches but ended up in two little nature preserves right near our house that we didn't know about. Alex is getting really good at his "left" and "right" and is interested in "north", "south", etc. He loves to hold the GPS and follow the arrow!
