The Basket Test

About a week after Conner was born we took this cute little picture of him in a basket. awe, let's bask  in his littleness...(not to mention all that dark hair. What the heck happened to that?)
18 Months later here, he is with the EXACT same basket. (not an imposter)

Good thing we could perform this scientific basket test, otherwise we might not have known that he grew.

MaryAnne MaryAnne quite...contrarian?

How does my garden grow? All by it's self apparently.
Here is the sticker patch that we call my backyard. It looks like a normal pile of weeds at first glance right? but look closer my friends at the left hand side just before the fence ends...see anything?

It's SQUASH!  
I noticed its sudden appearance forever back and thought "awe it'll die soon" Especially after we sprayed the whole backyard with round-up. But has it? NO! I would like to not so subtly ask for an apology from all of the people, who shall remain nameless, who think I can't keep things alive. I have a crazy little boy and now squash that, despite not watering or weeding and spraying it with weed killer, has thrived. HA! Please note that it is only the squash that I spray with poison and don't feed.

If I can produce such awesomeness on accident just think of what I could do if I tried?! I'd never have to go grocery shopping again!
