Little visitors...

Corky and Bi spent the night with my mom and dad last night.  Jake and I don't often get the chance to have them over for a play at our house, but we managed to sneak in a few minutes with them yesterday afternoon.  Jake was thrilled to have them fetch him from school, he even told me that he wished some of the girls in his class had seen him with them!

We had someone help us out with our overgrown garden and since it's already September, it's time to get some seeds into the ground.  It all started off as fun, but it turns out that Corky doesn't really like gardening - he just wanted to get inside to the TV.  Still, he and Bi have filled one of our planters with seeds, so we'll wait and see what comes up...

 Bi was far more into the whole dirt thing than her big brother...

 My big boy was very excited to be getting back into the garden and he was thrilled to share the space with his cousins.  We still have plenty to plant and probably only got about half way, but it's a start and hopefully the rain we're due to have this weekend will help things to shoot soon...

Once she started, be wouldn't stop, she had tons of fun...

Corky was very good with helping her and making sure that the seeds weren't on top of each other...

 I love this picture...

  And this one of her planting butternut next to our gooseberries...

 Corky kinda got completely bored after that, so I convinced him to pose for a few photos for me.  He wasn't too keen on that either...

 I told him not to smile for these photos... he puts on the cheesiest grin for the camera when I ask him to smile for me...

 perfect, Corky...

 He still has a baby face, precious, funny little boy...

 But that was enough, he wanted to go inside and watch TV...

 Bi doesn't like to be outdone by her brother.  Heck, when you ask this girl how old she is, she tells you she's four.  And her name is Princess Bi...

 With good reason though, she's doted upon by all of us...

 Off to help Jake again, no time for photos when there's gardening to be done...

 Nice clean veggie patch ready for the new crop.  We were literally over grown with rocket until very recently.  It was big and busy and took over completely.  Rocket is great, just not that much...

 Jake decided that he'd give Corky some beans in a tub to grow at home (sorry Jo)...

 Hi Bi-bi...

 She loves watching the boys and its so nice to see these three getting on so well...

 Jake had lost Corky though - so, so boring...

 Damned sprinkler!!  Bi picked a lemon off our tree for Nini and didn't put it down once from the moment she picked it...

 You'd think she was a little angel...

  But this cutie pie has been known to hit her brother on the head and kick him off the couch.  She often makes him cry...

 But she's too cute to ever get cross with...

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend, it just can't come soon enough this week!!

Lots of love,
