Last month we went to Frank Otte's and spent about 2 hours and alot of money buying, trees, plants, shrubs and flowers. Hayden was very good considering he hadn't had a nap, it was 2pm, 90+ degrees outside and we were there for 2 hours. He had fun walking around smelling the flowers and feeding the plastic and wooden animals mulch and rock. He told me they were hungry and needed to eat. Of course he didn't use those exact words. It was more like "hungee" pause, then "eat" as he shoved pieces of rock and mulch into the unsuspecting plastic frog and wooden squirrel. Jeff then over the course of the following week worked in the yard from right after dinner to well after dark digging and planting. Hayden would watch and play in the mud after helping water the plants and shrubs that Jeff planted each night. Now when Hayden looks outside and sees all the landscaping he says "Daddy, muscles, plants" I guess this is from me telling him during the course of that week when Hayden was watching Jeff hard at work I would say "daddy is using his muscles to plant the trees and flowers". It's amazing what they pick up so quick. The landscaping truly does look good and Jeff did an amazing job. All that's left is to put down mulch as all the plants are in and the landscape lights are complete as well.
