A Jason Funny...

Jason's pretty funny, so this my become a somewhat regular thing...

This morning, Jon was in the kitchen making his lunch, and up on the stool to get something from the top shelf. Jason comes running into the living room all excited:

"Jon's up high! He's-a gonna fall! He's a gonna get hurt!"

Now, this wasn't a scared sounding exited or a sad excited... it was happy excited. Corey and I were already laughing. Corey said "it sounds like you want Jon to fall!" I added, "are you happy about Jon falling?"

Jason looks over at me with this look of pure shock. "Mom, this is BAD NEWS!"

He's a hilarious 3-year-old. :D

Starting a Garden...

Corey and I have talked about starting a garden for AGES... but we just never have. So last week when we talked about it again, we decided we're really, for sure, absolutely going to do it. A friend had mentioned Square Foot Gardening a few weeks ago, so I looked into it (again... I had looked at it five or so years ago) and decided that THIS was the way we could garden!

Corey came home yesterday with a seed starting kit (the kind you're supposed to use in like, February so you can plant in April) and a bunch of seed packets, so we got started. I used the rest of the day yesterday to plan and perfect our raised bed layout, and decide what materials we needed and which plants to get. Here's my original layout:

And my updated one, after realizing that my green beans are bushes, I couldn't find romaine lettuce, and I remembered Corey got Cuke seeds. :)

We went to a couple garden stores today plus Home Depot. While at Home Depot, Jason amused himself with my camera...

And here's our planted tray:

We also got strawberry plants today... they were more than I expected, so I got fewer than I'd planned, but hopefully I'll be able to find seeds! (I forgot to look today.)
