One thing that takes a bit of time is the garden. We planted a variety of sunflowers, corn, carrots, sugar snap peas (already taken out), zinnias, cosmos, moss rose, marigolds, and something somewhat small with dainty white flowers I no longer remember the name to.
It's starting to look rather spent, the hot June heat is just too much for some of the plants,
although the sunflowers seem to still be doing well.
The birds sure love them, especially these feral peach-faced lovebirds.
I'm getting used to being a taxi taking Ian to preschool two days a week, and Laurel to a tot class one day. We've also participated in a kids' club at the mall and gone to the dinosaur museum yet again. But the highlight this week has to be going to the circus.
Ian and Laurel were both very unsure of it at first. We briefly went to the preshow activities, but the weird looking people, sparkly outfits, and loud music were overwhelming for our first timers.
Riding the escalator up to the level where our seats are, definitely helped the kids relax. To them, it's a fun amusement park ride.
Ian and Laurel feel safe in their seats, far away from the entertainers, yet close enough to watch, be amazed and laugh.

Great shots. Nice garden. Ian looks terrified in that first circus one. I'm glad they felt safe to watch from afar.
I love your garden! Q-ster has one pumpkin plant and some tomatoes - hopefully they will make it through the hot weather.
What a beautiful garden! I've just gotten started putting some flowers in. The previous owners of our house had NO flowers anywhere!
The circus! How fun! My kids have never been to one, but they would have wanted to keep some distance as well, I'm sure.
Yes, the circus CAN be a little intimidating! I'm glad you found a seat where they could enjoy it :). Your kids are growing so much, especially your son!
