Summer Fun: Container Gardening

This year I was determined to plant some veggies. We rent our house, so digging up the yard wasn't an option so I decided to "container garden."

Enjoy!

What a fun time!

Emily had braids in her hair all night a few weeks ago, and in the morning when we took them out, her hair was super wavy-fro. She HATED it!
She immediately wanted to take a shower to make it GO AWAY!

Seriously????

Time Waster

OK- Usually I don't fall for these things but I thought this was too funny!
