Update

I had a great first Mother's day!!! Jason and Max got me a shirt from So Cool Mom. I love the theory behind these products-Live Happy, Love Well!!! Kate wears them on John and Kate plus Eight!! (I love this family BTW!!!).

So we finally had a day without rain-so Grandpa and Great-grandma came up and helped us in our yard!!! We mulched, I planted Wave Petunias, and we finished our Square foot Garden!!

I've planted a sweet pepper, hot pepper, yellow pepper, green beans, lettuce, onions, carrots, cilantro, oregano, cucumber, zucchini, tomatoes and marigolds. I've mentioned before the Square Foot Gardening method-I'm so excited to see how we do. I would never have imagined planting that much stuff ever before-I'm so excited to see how we end up!!! I'm excited because we bought organic plants from neighbors and many of the other plants were in compost-able pots. I'm hoping we will save some money this summer on produce and I think we're helping out the environment by using green methods!!
Here are some more pictures around the house:

We used 31 bags of mulch-holy cow!!! Thank goodness Great Grandma was here to spend the day with Bubby Max b/c we just finished and we started early!!! (well, we did have breakfast, went to Lowe's twice, took 2 trips to get mulch and stopped for lunch).

This is the first time I've really taken an interest in my flower beds, the mulch and a garden!! I'm so excited!!!
