How does your garden grow?

The powers that be have finally decided that we have had a sufficient amount of rain this spring and lo and behold the sun has been out for a few days!  We took full advantage and decided that it was time to plant the packages of sunflower seeds that we've been waiting for weeks to put in the earth.

Sadie organized the troops and taught the boys how to drop the seeds in and cover them over with dirt.

Even Miles tried to get in on the sunflower planting action.  However, the sight of a tiny worm sent him running for the hills while he screamed "SNAKE!"

 He decided that it was a lot more fun to try to fill up his whole head of hair with dandelion fuzzies.

They all came back together to water their garden- fireman style...

...and pose in front of their hard work which will hopefully be covered in sunflowers by the end of the summer.

Ahhh... these are the days...

And just a few more cute snaps from the last couple of weeks...
