Hey! We Grew Something!

Chuck and I have dreams of one day having a lovely garden in our backyard. You know a place where we grow Fun-Dip and freshly baked whole wheat bread. For whatever reasons, it has yet to happen. This year we were close, but man, I am sure glad we didn't. Can you imagine me out there weeding, with this body, in this heat and humidity? Uh no.

When Rhett planted a squash seed during preschool and brought it home in a cup, we kept watering it just for fun. But then it grew. And kept growing. And then Chuck transferred it outside where we have a little unused dirt. And then it turned into this:


And on the plant grew these:


And then Rhett appropriately used one as a phone:


Phone call may or may not have been made to a monster in our house wherein Rhett was tricking the monster by having the monster mow the lawn and then we'd lock him out. Sneaky sneaky!
