Planting Flowers

At our house, we had really let our flower bed go.  I mean, if you know Ronnie, you know it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't as pretty as it had been in the past.  We had talked about planting flowers for a while and finally we found some time to get it down.  Avery was none to eager to help!

Now then, let me say that Avery would wear a tutu skirt, sparkly shirt and tiara everywhere she went if I would let her. But for planting flowers we settled on a pink skirt and an old t-shirt, tucked in. I'm glad I have one child I can still pick out clothes for.

This is the before. Ugly right.

We bought a whole slew of flowers. With Avery's input of course.

And then we got to work!

There's always time for a picture break!

Of course, Ronnie had to step in and show us how it's done correctly!
Dig a hole.

Look cute and take a picture.

Make sure hole is big enough and flower will fit.

Squeeze container and release flower.

Gently break roots.



Cover remaining hole with dirt.

Yep, Ronnie is way better at planting flowers and way more precise than I am. 





But he has the bestest of helpers! Now here is where I would show you an after picture. But I don't have one. I assure you though the flower bed looks 95 times better, especially with the black mulch I picked out!

And where was Ellie during all this? Napping of course. She's got the right idea!
