garden glory

our garden is in bloom. dave's been tending to it everyday with the boys. and it is pretty exciting to see the fruits of their labor!! caleb loves to water the plants, lucas loves to watch, and dave loves to wander around tending, weeding, watering, and caring for his plants! i love to watch the three of them together out there working away :) today was the first day we got to try out some veggies that have grown. the peas! caleb and lucas love peas, so imagine their delight when daddy handed them one fresh off the vine :)

we are growing some watermelon, rasberries, blueberries, beets, and tomatoes too!

lucas' first taste of watermelon at a friends birthday party. he loved it!

the latest go-down development....we told him he can have the door open only if he stays in bed...as you can see today he didn't heed our words....the magic of the door open and quiet go down was lost tonight :( i'm hoping we can get it back! but little mister is quite insistent on sleeping on the floor with the door open (which might not be a problem except for the fact that he is a super light sleeper and wakes up if we move him...soo...this scenario isn't going to work). pretty cute though with all his friends...he also was holding tight to my shirt pleading 'don't leave mama! don't leave'. ouch that hurts the heart a lil. they sure know how to wrap us around their fingers!! i didn't give in...but it sure is hard to resist this little cuddle bug of mine!
