The Sabelka Family: Garden Project

We had such beautiful weather yesterday we took advantage of every minute! In the morning we made our annual trip to the Mennonite's by Alta Vista for flowers. They were all so pretty, it was hard to choose! We also picked up some veggie plants to supplement what we had already been growing for the garden.

After a quick lunch, we were back outside to get the flowers potted and set in the yard. I didn't get pics of them yet, and it's raining this morning so watch for them later:) The kids loved getting in the dirt, and this was just the beginning! After that work was done we headed to the garden to get things planted. This year we are trying some new plants and I can't wait to see how they turn out! One is sweet potatoes, and I am hoping to also get some spaghetti squash in. We had lots of little hands helping as you can see, and they had a great time! Not to mention they each had their fair share of popciciles to get them through all the hard work!

When the work was done it was time for some 'play.' 4-wheeler rides in the park, playing frisbee, and "washing off" in the big cooler. Of course I had forgotten my phone by then and didn't get any pics, but the kids took it upon themselves to wash the car, and themselves in the process! They had a great time playing with our friends' kids, grilling out and enjoying the weather.

On the downside, Nolan's allergies are NOT liking the weather and by about 730, he had enough. His eyes were itchy and he just needed to get out of the grass, trees, and pollen. We made our way home, got cleaned up and watched Cars2 to end the day. As of right now I think Nolan and Eryn are both still sleeping (it's almost 8 am) and that is a rarity.

What a great start to the warm weather season! Looking foward to many more days like this!
