Anticipating Spring

Things have started looking more and more like spring around here, so this past weekend we got our booties in gear and joined in by building some raised beds for our back yard. Thanks to a couple trips to Home Depot, a determined husband... and two helpful little dudes, we were able to finish what we set out to do.

It started out like this... yikes. (Yes, those are bags of leaves from last fall and our Christmas tree in the background. Don't judge us.)

But then Daddy got to work.

 

And these guys helped. And by helped I mean they encouraged Daddy by giving him one of these smiles while posing casually by a woodpile.

And then... we were done! Remember those bags of leaves and the Christmas tree? They were repurposed and thrown in the bottom of all the raised beds. It's called being "green"... or cheap.

And after all that was done, we still had time for this...

And this...

And this :)
