Building Gardens

This week seemed just as busy as normal.  I'm not really even sure what we did...not much to write about...but we seemed to stay busy and I seemed to feel exhausted!  I wasn't so good at taking photos this week. So I'm relying on some from Jo, and a few from Saturday...

A couple of weeks ago we received an email from Zane's principal asking us if we'd be willing/able to help with a garden project at the school.  They were wanting to build some gardens for the kids to plant in the springtime.  Of course we were more than happy to help out!  Unfortunately it was scheduled for the same time as the boys' haircuts, so we sent Matt to start working, and we go there as quick as we could.  By the time we got there, it was almost finished!  But Zane did get to participate in some dirt-moving, so he at least took part!

Analyzing the situation...

Moving the dirt...

It was cute to see them all working together!

The principal had all the kids pose for a photo.  I got in on the end of it...and said "act silly."  Zane listened well...when I asked for silly faces...naturally!

Signing the garden.  I hope their signatures stay!  Wouldn't that be cool for him to go visit someday and see his name?

We were all there, even Mason, who we thought would totally love this project, but he was suction-cupped to Matt and I...too many people...he doesn't enjoy crowds!  So he didn't really help much...and I didn't get pictures of him...

Today we were supposed to have our family photos taken for Christmas cards...and the weather took a nasty turn, so we had to reschedule.  I was really looking forward to pictures.  Oh well.  Next weekend.
