Yes Sir! Gardening. Blow Up Pool.
After watching Toy Story I, II, and III…Noah has been really into his bucket of green toy soldiers. (me too actually! see how I have artillery on the left, flanked and covered by 2 separate fire teams, with both a sniper and spotter on the right?) Sorry…got carried away. Anyway, I hope he’s having as much fun as I am…
One of the good byproducts of this toy soldier thing is a “sometimes new found quick obedience”…captured in a simple, “Yes sir!” Now Noah sometimes answers us with a quick and curt, “Yes sir!” Noah…clean up your trains. Noah…sit down in your chair. Noah…finish your food. “Yes sir!”
The other day we saw some really fragrant bushes and pretty flowers at the Home Depot. They were on a super sale, so we picked up a few bushes for less than $5 a piece! Bekah has been REALLY into the gardening thing with me…and is always the first one out whenever I’m watering or gardening. Here is Noah, tagging along with his little shovel.
Fragrant Jasmine!…my dad has tons of these bushes in his front yard, and they smell so good.
Purple flowers…can’t remember their name.
It’s been right under 100 degrees here these last couple of days. High 90’s AND humid! It’s totally gross being outside. We found this cool blow up pool at costco, and decided to go for it.
you guys look like you’re having such a good time! toy story, gardening, pool - so much fun!
omg! when did you get into gardening?!! how fun! so with flowers, how does that work because of the snowing season? do you just have to plant annuals every year or can you plant perennials and will they grow back each spring?
that’s so funny that you mentioned jasmine. i went to a nursery recently and was thinking about buying a jasmine plant because they were so fragrant. in fact, i also thought about your parents place because they have this tree that blooms those really fragrant white flowers (they remind me of taiwan) and i saw one at the nursery i’m thinking about buying but gotta save up for it.
keep posting gardening pix!!! … and stuff you’ve been learning about it!
Hahaha, noah and his “yes sir!” Probably every parent’s dream to have such a well-manner child who is super obedient! Go Toy Story 3! It’s super hot here in L.A now too minus the humidity.
