In all honesty, the first couple years of the boys' life were pretty challenging for me. It was a huge accomplishment if I took a shower, did my hair, wore clothes other than PJ's, and did the dishes. I was so excited the summer they were about 1 1/2 years old because I finally had enough energy to attempt planting some flowers! I got out the flower pots, filled them with dirt, and was planning exactly which flowers I'd fill them with. Imagine my surprise when I came outside to find this: 
My initial reaction, of course, was not too positive! However, I quickly realized that boys are mesmerized by digging in the dirt. I decided it was best to abandon my hopes for a little spring color in favor of hours of entertainment for toddlers! Every spring I'm still reminded of their dirty little faces staring up at me from inside my flower pots.
