Busy busy!

So I have definately been busy and so has the little one. We went to Home Depot and Wally World a few times over the past couple days, stocked up on garden supplies.
Went to Wally World and got top soil and garden soil, a few bulbs and some seeds and started planting out own garden. Of course first I had to have a place for all of it to go so I got out my garden goodies; newly bought :-) Some gloves, small tools, some black plastic edging and many hours in the sun and I now have and actual garden space in which to plant. Add to that the beautiful sunburn across my lower back and it was wonderful! Actually it wasn't all that bad and it was a lot of fun and Bean and I had a great time digging in the garden. We planted almost all our bulbs and I got a whole bunch of seeds planted in a temp. greenhouse, now we just have to wait and see what does or doesn't grow.
Tori was too cute too, she wanted so badly to help and I felt bad becasue I really wanted to let her but I was so afraid she was going to hurt herself with the metal tools/shovel/clippers. As a solution we went up to the dollar store today and got her some plastic garden goodies. Technically meant for going to the beach or in a sand box but what difference does it make to her right.
The funny part about it all was that once we got her set up she wanted nothing to do with them and was way more interested in playing Doctor with Honey Bear.
The dogs have even taken their own attempt at the garden. Guinness has gone to the corner of the yard under a couple of the bushes and dug herself quite the hole. Not really a hole more like a burrow. I have to give her credit though. It will definately keep her cooler, and she is well shaded by the bushes, and it has just enough room for her to put her bowl in there so she has water. Not to mention it keeps her out of trouble in general if I know shes under the bush.
Silly child and silly dogs, but you gotta love 'em!
