Worker Men

"Logan, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"A doctor like Papa, or a workerman like Daddy."
:-) James and I are so glad the boys know what he does for a living. :-)
Needless to say, the boys all had a great time being "Builder Men" today as they built me my 4x4 box for my square foot garden. I have lovely plants growing like crazy on the windowsill above my kitchen sink, and now I can move them into a garden! (We have to wait for all the frost to pass before I'll brave moving the little darlings outdoors!)

Tyler liked to work right next to James, which I know was a huge help for Daddy! (Especially when he lost what was left of the screws in Daddy's stash...)
And Logan, after helping put the main frame together on the box decided to collect all the extra wood and create his own project. He 'used' all sorts of tools and had a GREAT time!

It sure was fun watching the three of them work! :-) Thanks, Guys!

The more helpers Daddy has, the better! Good luck with your garden, and to think, you thought you couldn't keep a plant alive! By the way, how's that plant I gave you a million years ago doing?? Be sure you let your boys know that garden flowers are NOT for picking or you won't have any great produce come to you! Yes, I'm speaking from experience!!!

We got a good laugh from Logan's response. I love that the boys know that Dad is a "workerman"! Our kids know that Dad can fix anything and He eats it up.

Makayla and Gavyn also have square foot gardens, we hope their plants will grow and yours too. I love gardens!

Oh, a square foot garden! We have one of those - it's almost time to start planting, too! What are you going to plant in yours?

Cari, I LOVE your blog!!!! It is always so cute and fun. I love your ideas for the baby girl's room. It is so darling!!! I also love your little boys picking you flowers (by the way, little girls will do that for you too).

Corey is a "Daddy worker guy", and the boys will don their In-N-Out shirts and red shorts and pretend to be "Daddy worker guys". Not only that, but when we pass an In-N-Out, it's "Daddy's work". Westley will be five on Thursday and he still doesn't call it "In-N-Out"!
