With the rising cost of groceries hitting our budget hard (I find myself saying "Babe, this food budget isn't working anymore..." every couple of weeks or so), we have decided to get a bit more serious about growing our own food. Since it was unseasonably nice yesterday (which is code word in Oregon for "not raining"), Colin spent the day with the kids working in the garden. He planted spinach, lettuce, beets, carrots, onions and leeks. Later, we will be planting our usual warm weather crops.
I snapped some pictures of the kids - for some reason the boys thought it was appropriate to be doing karate for the camera:
I love this picture - Samuel eating old spinach - look at his face!
This was Juliet's contribution - causing mayhem, of course.
Jude: "Here! Try some, Mama!" I politely declined.
And my muscularly husband working hard. My contribution was taking pictures - that counts for something, right?

Grandma loves to see her garden helpers at work. The Karate is to rid the garden of the 'bad dirt spirits', I hear it works every time!
Can I be in your family? :)
Great pics of the kids! Love the Karate moves. And look at those curls on Juliet! We have tons of eggs...getting about ten a day. If you want some eggs to suppliment your food budget, let me know. They are free for you!
