Green Thumbs -Part 1-

For Easter the two older girls got some gardening bags.  Every time I go outside they ask if they can wear my gardening gloves and dig in the dirt.  So, I figured it was a good time to get them their own gardening tools and gloves.

I found the bags and gloves at Walmart and then filled them with a variety of seeds.  Some vegetables for our garden and some flowers for the rest of the yard.  Each of their bags came with some starter kits for flowers.  So, we decided to put those together today.

 

My little gardeners.

 Mixing up the dirt and getting it ready to go into the pots.

 Filling the pots with the dirt and seeds.

 Showing off the final product.  (Mmmm...they look good enough to eat.)  As you can tell the girls are really excited about their hard work.

 With the extra dirt and seeds we put together a little pot for me to enjoy.  I love that we're all wearing striped shirts.  Mylie was napping while we did this, but she had on a yellow shirt that was striped too.

Here's the little lady after she woke up from her nap.  She was too cute not to add to this post.

 

Once the flowers start to bloom and grow we'll transfer them outside into the flower beds.  We also have plans to get some veggies planted into our garden, but we need daddy to go and get the soil first.  So, more pictures to come.

 

Easter 2013

With 9:00 church I felt we were scrambling around all morning, but amidst the chaos I was able to snap a few pics of the girls in their Easter skirts.  (Excuse the poor quality of the pictures.  My camera has been giving me a lot of grief lately!)

(Can you see her little piggy tails?  Love!)
