firetruck & our garden

No, we did not have a visit from a fire truck...we went to a kids thing that had a fire truck and ambulance for the kids to explore & ask questions about. We initially planned on going as a family, but then the neighbor boy was over when it was time to go, so we had him come with. While we were getting Will's booster seat, Nick(another neighbor boy) stopped by, so he joined the crowd, and while getting his booster seat, his younger sister Delaney asked if she could go too....By that time we were up to 5 kids, age 6 and younger - you should see the looks you get with a crew like that! The kids enjoyed climbing all over the firetruck and ambulance. They also spent sometime bouncing in the bounce house, and we all enjoyed some pizza for lunch. Miss Jenna even ate her pizza just like the big kids (mainly because we didn't have anything to cut it with!).
Bruce spent a lot of time on Saturday (in the cold & wind) prepping an area for our garden. It's not huge, but it's big enough for us. We are hoping to plant some seeds in it this week (if the weather cooperates). So far we're planning on green beans, peas, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins, lettuce and strawberries. It's been a long time since I've had a garden (since I lived at home), so wish us luck. Andrew is very excited....hopefully he won't be disappointed!

Here are some pictures from Saturday:
