The boys and I took advantage of the first warm day in a long while…playing in the treehouse, picking up in the backyard, and working in the garden. Xander tromped into the kitchen in his muddy boots for some chewing gum “to plant a gum tree” (inspired by a book he LOVES called “The Gumdrop Tree”). With Jonas and Roman joining in, it soon morphed into even more muddy attempts to plant a cup tree and a bowl tree. While they were hard at work, I rescued some bulbs to force indoors…as they were already coming up and I was afraid the coming snow and ice would nullify all of their hard work. We all got super muddy but had a lot of fun doing it. Here’s to spring and more days working in the garden with my boys!!!
