Pallet Project #1

At our church's work party my oldest son was put in charge of throwing away some pallets.
My son knew how much I was wanting to try some projects using pallets and saw an opportunity for me to get some trash treasure.
Hubby and I drove in separate cars that night.
He went home first before my treasures were known to him.
Hubby wasn't too thrilled when he was trying to get them out of our van after three men strategically stuffed placed 3 pallets in my van.
At least I could still fit all the kiddos in the van, and we got home safely :)

Today I wanted to make some raised garden beds for my little garden.

The nails were very rusty.

The boards did NOT come off easy.

In fact, I ended up hitting my shin with a hammer twice in the same spot.

What crazy person does that and still insists on completing a project?

ME :)

I had my famous helper getting nails out of the boards.

Guess who?

Yep, my little buddy--always ready to work.

I know I did this all wrong, but I nailed the boards together.  

I probably should have used screws to attach them

It works for me.

We planted some onions and peas in them that a friend gave me.

Today was so lovely.

We have a total of 18 days of school left.

I love this pic of their boots.

The bars remind me of a sort of prison that the kiddos have with school work, yet they want to be outside in the dirt.
