Garrett and Gannon love to create "projects" of any kind. Every year we enter a potted plant, wheel barrow/wagon, and some type of art. To make their potted plants have a little personality I always have a quick "project" for them to paint them however they would like. It's typically a quick little painting session and this year was not different.
After the pots dry we head go pick out plants to put in the pots and they both plant their own, this year they both picked ferns. In addition to the potted plants, this year we did a couple of succulents also. It was a chore to take these two little guys to Michaels to pick our their container. Gannon settled on the glass and Garrett picked the copper pail.
Both boys ended up with wheel barrows this year and we organized and planted these at the fair for easier transport. Both boys LOVE this process and get really into their "gardens". Gannon hopefully be back to the wagon next year because sure enough as soon as we had his all done he lifted the wheel barrow handles to take it over to show Daddy and it tipped over and all fell out. I guess it was so much fun he really wanted to do it twice!
Garrett and Gannon were also very excited to help Daddy and the girls plant the FFA plot. Thankfully they were mostly there to help clean up containters. Gannon can do some damage to these poor plants.
