The before...with an after to follow soon!
I have a huge list of projects that need to be done around our house, half on paper & the other half tormenting me in my head. Yes, tormenting is the right word, every night I lay in bed just thinking of all the things that I want to do around our place. Not the practical things, the creative things that will be taking place in the next couple of months! Anyway, friday we did a practical thing on my list. We have two flower beds at our house and a back porch that needed a facelift. Eric, Sarah Grace, & I went to Lowe's friday afternoon and picked up tons of seeds for veggies, flowers, and we snagged a few other plants. Also on the list, ceiling fans, which by the way took Eric & my Dad 5 1/2 hours to install on saturday. But they look amazing and feel even better, so thank you dad & Eric! But back to my original story...we worked pretty hard in the front digging up plants and moving them, on top of the new stuff we were planting. Sarah Grace had fun running around outside and dipping her paci in the dirt, which later led to big handfuls of dirt going towards her mouth & lots of giggling from her! Let just say a bath and a nap followed soon after! I don't have any after pictures to show yet...I wanted to wait till a few more flowers started to bloom, but we are loving all the beautiful flowers up front and excited about some homegrown veggies this summer! The back patio/porch whatever is still a work in progress, hopefully we will have pics of that soon too!

You know the old saying "God made dirt and dirt don't hurt". And , I don't think Sarah Grace has ever found dirt she didn't like. I loved it when she was playing with the earth worms. She has no fear!She is so beautiful, even with dirt all over her face.
Amen, Grandma Angel. She is a beauty. Now if SG'll just come see us again she can go fishing with Laurel and Travis and bait all of Laurel's hooks for her with those earthworms!
That is so funny. Look at those cute teeth! At least she enjoyed herself. I'm excited to see your finished projects.
Is that your secret to all that hair? We're gonna have to try that with Jozalyn. What a sweetheart.
dirt huh? well i guess that'll help her get some minerals. i wish i could have a little garden. i'm trying to grow daisies in a tiny pot in my front window. if they do well then i'll transfer them to a big pot out by my garage. i really want to grow a bunch of veggies to make salsa. then i could have true home-made salsa.
That is so cute, kudos to you for letting her play in the dirt. It's good for them to get down and play in it but I cringe the whole time thinking of how I will get the dirt stains out of the clothes and how many bugs they have eaten.
