Where's Spencer???

So the kids came home from school and we were at the table doing homework. When that was all over I thought I should go out and water the garden. As I am finishing up and start walking towards the house I look up and see that 4 of our 5 kids are outside. Now what made me think this is an odd site is the fact that Spencer is so quick to follow anybody and every body because he is not going to miss out on what is happening. So, I immediately think this just can't be good. In the house I go looking for him. I turn to go down the hall and see that his bedroom door is closed. I slowly open it and this is what I see...

He had climbed up on his changing table to go to sleep. I guess he was tired. All I could think was thank goodness I don't have clean up another mischievous mess!

I have been wanting to post pictures of our garden. This is our first time growing something other than tomatoes and basil. Craig built 6 boxes and then we started planting everything under the sun. The first one is all herbs taken over by basil! The next one is filled with many different types of tomatoes. Matthew and Eli sit there and wait patiently until one turns red and then they pick and eat it!

Here are the 3 on the left. The first one has cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew. We have learned our lesson. These need more room than a box altogether. Oh, well...live and learn. The next one has carrots, green beans, eggplant, all kinds of peppers and another tomato plant. Craig wanted to make sure we had enough tomatoes for the boys. The last one is filled with corn. Craig really got into this. Suddenly he started coming home with even more plants. I said where on earth are we going to put all these. He decided to clear a section on the hill for more strawberries, another watermelon, some kind of squash, and we have turnips and onions coming up. Turnips...who eats turnips????

Here is the last box on the right with zucchini and cucumbers.

This is another day he came home with more stuff. More green beans, because he wanted bush and pole beans, MORE corn and I can't even remember the other plant. I guess we will find out when it starts producing. I am actually very proud of my husband. This has been a big dream of ours and now we are putting it into action. I think I need to keep a close eye on him though, he may just start taking out our newly laid grass to make more room for what he brings home next!
