Shortly after our snowman melted we had a week of gorgeously sunny, hot weather. For four days straight the kids spent every possible moment out in the sprinkler soaking up every ray of sunshine they could.
Even Lillian braved the sprinkler for the first time ever this year and got a little damp.
In hopes of saving a few hundred dollars in annual flowers this year I decided to divide our huge backyard flowerbed in two different smaller gardens for the kids. The girls' side is a fairy garden and Walker's is a dinosaur garden. They did all the planting all by themselves and my hope is that the cute little fairy houses and dinosaur toys will fill in the bare spots. I'll post lots of pictures of both gardens once they've filled in a little bit. That will include an insanely adorable Grandma and Grandpa Fairy house that my parents made for the girls.
They cooperated so well together as they planned out and planted their gardens.
We were all so exhausted by the end of this day. By the time we were done preparing all of the flower beds, planting and watering them and the kids had their fill of playing in the sprinklers I think we spent a total of 5 hours outside.
A couple of Sundays ago Lillian insisted that both she and Violet wear their "Belle" dresses. It was a photo opportunity that was too perfect to pass up.
