School's almost out around our house, but for the past - well - month and a half we've been learning about gardening, and it's been a blast!! We (with much help from Peeps) have planted lots of veggies and some fruit in some mini-gardens in our back yard. The kids have LOVED it and so have I. They got to pick what they wanted in their own gardens, and we also have a little family garden. To kind of wrap up the whole garden theme, we had "Garden Night" last week with Daddy, Memaw, and Peeps. We sang "Inch by Inch" (I'd like to give a little shout-out to my Idlewood homey Amy Watson) by Peter, Paul, and Mommy, we did presentations, took a garden tour, and enjoyed a "rainbow vegetable"dinner. It was so great, and I was so shocked by how serious the kids were about it!! Mil even took it upon himself to change clothes right before we started so as to look his best for the big night. One other funny about Miller - while giving the tour of his garden, he accidentally plucked off his bell pepper that was not much bigger than a fat strawberry, and insisted we eat it for dinner. That boy loves him some bell peppers.
