/> SLO in Arkansas: Spring!

Spring!

I have not been able to get too many pictures of us enjoying the spring weather, since most of it has been spent indoors unfortunately. Arkansas has had record amounts of rain this year, and even the days it doesn't rain are too muddy to go out much. Thankfully we have been able to play on the porch, and take some walks around the neighborhood when it's not actually raining! Personally, I am so grateful for the weather we have been having. It is usually pushing 90 degrees around here by now and getting really hot. Seeing as I have to be pregnant until August, I was not looking forward to that at all! The clouds have kept things cool and I am loving the 60-80 degree days we have been having all month:) Tyson has discovered the joys of popsicles recently, and he is so cute wandering around the yard with one:) I just could not get the kid to look at the camera!!!
Another shot of Tyson toting his popsicle around the yard.
Well we finally pulled the boat out for the year to get it all washed up and ready to go for the lake season. What an exciting day!! Silas did the majority of scrubbing and wiping down of everything. We apparently did not clean it up well at the end of last year, and had to work a little harder to get it ready:) It is all clean now, packed with fresh beach towels and boat music, and ready to hit the water next weekend for Memorial Day. I got the all clear to have as much fun as possible from my doctor today, which was good news. No tubing for me this summer, but hopefully Tyson will get to try it out. We got him a new big boy life jacket recently and he looks adorable in it:) I am really hoping for some sunshine next weekend so we don't have to spend the whole time in the house.
We also spent this past weekend planting a vegetable garden in cool crate containers that Silas got from work. We will see how the containers work, since we didn't want to dig up the yard to plant anything. We have some big plans to turn the crates into a cute family project and make them a train, but for now, getting the seeds going was all we got to. Hopefully I will be able to post more soon on how that is going. Most of it depends on the weather and if we can get outside long enough to get anything done! Believe it or not, all of these pictures posted were from this past Saturday, during about a 3 hour window of sun between huge flash flood storms. We took advantage of every second of it possible though!

Oh what a great idea! That will look great if you turn the garden into a train and Ty will love it:) I'm anxious to hear how it works, and a little jealous that you get to have a garden this year! I expect belly pictures next post!
