Spring Planting

 I really wasn't planning on planting any plants this summer since we will probably be moving by the end of it, but the kids really wanted to.  After they were so good one day, I stopped at Home Depot as a reward and we bought some simple flower plants.

 They loved preparing the soil and getting it ready for the flowers.

 They did quite a bit of it with quite a bit of help.

 Gently packing down the dirt.

 And a little more digging.

 It was such great activity for all of us and I am loving the splash of color around the yard as they are all in full bloom now!
