Benjamin’s “hat” was a highlight 🙂. 7:59

[@StopListenThink]

He’s so cute

[@aiangalang8452]

Agree! He’s so cute!🥰

[@jeans3190]

It was a creative move by Benjamin, smart kid.

[@andrewthorne6653]

My hart sank when his face dropped because he would not get to see the train with out a hat. Laura please don’t do that to him or me again

[@oraliaespinosa4880]

Benjamin wasn't going to miss that train....

[@tracyoconnor-mcgraw4952]

When your grandchild says sit by me ......you do it 😍😍😍♥️love 😍🌻

[@burkies8273]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@themamabearlife3339]

That was just the sweetest! It just made my heart melt. It showed how much he loves her...

[@tia1629]

Yeah you do🙂🙂

[@gardengirl7446]

Always!!

[@gardengatesopen]

Every single time!!! ❤ It's an honor to be invited ❤

[@deannededemariehampton768]

Who besides me got the biggest smile on their face when Benjamin made his own hat??? So very precious 💖❤😍 Beautiful spring planter, I'm excited to see the beginning season of color.

[@shellysgarden5744]

I just had to bust out laughing when Benjamin used his lovey as a hat. Kids are just so fun!!

[@lenazagorodny1399]

'Bout spit out my food when Benjamin stuck that fox on his head. And I need someone in my life like your mom, telling me "yes, definitely" every time I ponder a new plant to buy for my garden 😂

[@susanmatthews9804]

Benjamin had a look of fear on his face that he was going to miss his beloved train. You could see in his eyes it was important to him :-D Spring color is wonderful to see already!

[@FLlife]

Benjamin is a problem solver just like mom and dad.... lovies = hat in one second flat!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

I thought the same thing...quick thinker!😆

[@lovebug7]

She really brightens the day with her flowers , son and gorgeous MOM she has. Your mom is adorable. Her age has nothing on her. It's the landscaping job she has and the grace of God

[@arelettebreaux938]

There's nothing like smile on a child's face. You are a great mom!

[@nicolemorris714]

OMG when he immediately put his lovies on his head. I laughed so hard. Such a cutie. :)

[@mammie19621962]

Benjamin was SO CUTE holding up the flower bloom to look at just like Moma. 💜 AND I was surprised when you said yeah to the red flower, knowing that color isn't your favorite, but then you snuck and put back! 🤣

[@rebeccalane5610]

You should do a benjamin pot, he picks everything in it😀 😂 love to see how good his taste is.

[@heatheringram703]

Oh my sweetness! I literally laughed out loud when Benjamin put his "lovey" right up on his head as a hat! That was adorable!

[@LifewithKim00]

Love Benjamin! But your mom is always so well put together. I love her style and her personality. ❤️

[@Angelamclaughlin1]

I loved when your son put his little blanket thing on his head so he could go out and see the train. So sweet!

[@heatherthomas6098]

I saw this comment on a different page, so I thought I would share. Everytime you need to do something for Samantha Grace and say I need to do this for her, also say to her I need to do this for Benjamin so he doesn't get jealous and helps him understand. Also those primroses are beautiful!

[@RogerC12]

It would be so fun if Laura lets Benjamin make a container this year.

[@loribirchfield1218]

Omg, this brought tears to my eyes. My daughter used to do that to my mom, 18 years ago. Grandma sit in back with me.

Russell is your protector, that's why he follows you around so much. You're so lucky to have a spirit animal...

Ok am I the only one that just loves to see my favorite 😍 adorable lil family. Benjamin is just so stinking cuteeee! Hey has such a sweet personality like his mom and dad. He was playing with his Grandma, lol he wanted her with him .

[@julieharrington5644]

Love Benjamin's makeshift hood! The flowers were gorgeous, but Benjamin stole the show!

[@helenlouise1737]

What a happy, heartwarming video. I smiled throughout & laughed out loud at some points. Serious gratitude to you for showing sweet Benjamin how important he remains in his momma's life. And his nana is ideal. Oh, & the flowers are special, too. 😀😀

[@Ladythyme]

This hit the spot... we are being buried under 2 feet of snow and challenged by an icy North wind..so nice to at least dream of Spring to come... those flowers are BEAUTIFUL! What “US” grandmas do for our Grandkids... we know who’s boss! Lol He’s so cute. My first Grandson (now 18) was my Train lover... we use to plan picnic dinner dates by the train station once a week so we could wait for the 5 o’clock train! So fun and great memories. Thomas the Train ruled!

[@sabrinacopas1636]

I love Benjamin’s creativity and love for trains. My youngest son loved Thomas and we had trains around our house for years. I highly recommend getting him a little train table if you haven’t already.

[@bunnyfrancis7006]

You have no idea how much Pure Joy you give me. I'm 71, live alone with no one to talk to our share things and thoughts with so you and your beautiful family have become a gift from God. You brighten my day sooo much with the gardening and your family. I adore seeing your family grow. I feel the excitement of your mom and dad when they are with you guys. You are blessed.

The “hat” fix was too cute! He didn’t want to miss the train!! Thanks for taking us along for the trip. So good to see your parents and now I want to plant some beautiful flowers too! I live in South Georgia and we have had beautiful mild days....definitely makes you want to fill the flower beds!

[@demmycalivas4730]

[@dianajean4837]

When your mom posted on FB that a new load came in - I knew you were getting in the car !! That was a fine example of critical thinking when Benjamin put his lovies on his head !🦊

Laura, thank you so much for inviting us into your lives. It’s such a treat every time! When Benjamin heard that train 😍😍

[@pam1contreras]

Benjamin is adorable. His face when the train was passing by... OMG it made my heart melt. Congratulations guys you have a lovely family. And paint the door black, make the necessary adjustments to include a automatic locking system and try it for a while before replacing it. It may work for a fraction of the cost of a new door. ❤️ I will try those hellebores! 🪴 thanks

[@dcooper6708]

You are a brave Mama, that cookie was almost as big as Benjamin. A boy who want to see the train, uses what ever it takes to make it happen. 🤠 Hat improviser. Love these Benjamin included videos..he is adorable.

I love it when u go down the garden center.

Such a refreshing pop of happiness! Thank you for doing this video... Seeing Benjamin's creativity covering his head was so darn cute! Alone time with your kids is so important. Your kiddos are blessed with great parents! 💜

[@InTheGardenWithClaudia]

Loved this arrangement. I loved the willow branches, I think that added a beautiful element. 🥰 When Benjamin covered his head with his little lovey because he wanted to see the train... that just made my heart smile. 😊

Something told Benjamin to take those lovies with him and sure enough, they came in handy.

Benjamin is the highlight of the video, I love his reactions especially to the train! My daughter is special needs & she loves trains not to mention the tractors here on the farm! I am in love with the Spring color in those pansies, helebores & primroses!! I am getting the fever to go to my local greenhouse! That urn is so beautiful planted up!! Samantha Grace is so cute, brings back memories of when my girls were that size! The porch is going to look gorgeous in it's Spring color! 🥰🚂🚃💐🌸🌿

Loved to join you and Benjamin on your visit. He was adorable in the car talking about the train! And then when he heard the train, too cute using his toys as a hat. So glad you took him to see the train (great mom). Beautiful flowers and the arrangement was awesome. Loved the quick peek of the precious Angel.

Benjamin is so clever! He knew instinctively to see the train he needed a hat.

I'm so jealous:) Here in Germany garden centers have been closed since December.Hopefully they're going to open soon.

I can just see Benjamin when he goes to school.... the teacher will say "Look at this beautiful flower" and Benjamin will say... "Excuse Ms. Adams.... that is a hellebore!!"

Good morning I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed this video. It is 6:00 am and I was watching KZbin and there was a trip to the garden center. I don’t get to go to the nursery anymore. Oh how I loved to go and spend time with all the plants. Thank you for taking me there,what a joy. Makes me want to go shopping for pansies.I hope I can get out and buy something soon. Your little one was so excited to go to see everyone and enjoyed all the flowers. I loved seeing him enjoy the train. I am a train lover,have been all my life. And then I got to see the beautiful baby. You are so blessed. Thank you again for this lovely video.I hope that I will be able to visit a nursery soon. It is such a good life with plants. Much happiness to you. Lee

Then seeing him watching the trains. So sweet. Samantha Grace looks so precious sleeping. So glad she is a good sleeper. The flowers are beautiful. Can you leave them in a pot all year or do you have to plant them in the landscape? I don’t have a yard to plant in, I rent an apartment but those are so pretty would love to be able to just keep them in containers if I could.

Awe! Babies are soooooo precious!!!! She is just beautifully stunning! Love her blankies as well. Was so funny, when one of my daughter's had her baby, (my 1st G-baby).

Be Blessed & Be a Blessing to Others!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

I have 6 kids and jealousy has never been an issue. I personally think "spoiled" kids or giving them that idea breeds jealousy. I could be wrong. We always did activities as a whole family and the kids never felt like they were personally neglected. If you asked them today, they'd wish we had more kids. Including the kids in every day activities makes them feel wanted and loved. We used to go shopping together until my older ones got to be adult sized and we just plain took up too much isle space. Cashier's actually missed them and asked where the children were! So funny.

[@barblivingston7986]

So sweet - “I love this one”! - cute boy - and that hat! Oh my gosh totally made my morning!

[@wendychetherington9809]

Oh Laura, what a treat this was! I'm a nurse and didn't get home til 9 pm and it was such a nice surprise to see another video from you, I really wasn't expecting to see so much of you since Samantha Grace was only born just over a week ago! It was SO lovely to see Benjamin and your parents, really enjoyed the trip to the garden centre and the coffee shop. My daughter moved in with me two years ago and I have a 17 month old grandson (my first). I REALLY can't get over what a difference he is to when my daughter was a baby. She was so quiet and slept quite well, in comparison Owen is awake ALL the time!!!! My friend says it's a boy/girl 'thing', so hopefully for you if she is correct Samantha Grace may let you have some sleep. She really is adorable. QUESTION. I live in North Wales, UK. Our garden centres are closed at the moment but I have seen pansies and bulbs etc., are they really okay to plant when we are having frost and snow? God bless, stay safe, love to you all.
