Today for Earth Day we talked a lot about saving money and recycling and plants. Lucas was very into the conserve and recycling part of the talk. Nathan came home early and we got the ground ready for our summer garden. Last year we only planted tomatoes. 2 plants and we had over 50 tomatoes per plant. So this year we decided to do a little more. The kids each got to pick something to grow this year. I said vegetable and Lucas picked carrots, Scarlett picked pumpkins and Bridget my best listener picked Watermelon. Juliet wanted zucchini so we decided to grab those too. I picked squash and Nathan hasn't decided yet.
So out to Wyoming the backyard they went. It was so windy but they were determined.
Digging and raking are so much fun, digging and raking are so much fun...
Such concentration, can you tell they are one in the same?
Juliet on me, totally asleep and wearing every shade of pink I had in 0-3 months. Haha. Just Kidding.
Super Duper EXCITED
We started all of the seeds in plastic cups, they are currently on the window sills of the house. :)
Wha???? Wait there is a YGG song for this moment...Ahem

After our fun backyard time we had Macaroni and Trees for dinner.
Except I over cooked the macaroni so we had farfalle and trees!
Then we opened our EASTER Mail from Grandma and Grandpa Horn.
Ah yes, Bridget always sees an opportunity to pose.
The kids LOVED their cool shirts and cards.
And Candy! They just love getting mail!
I know its DARK. Oh well. Here is the link if you can't see it
Can't wait for the weekends festivities. Happy Earth Day!
I personally think it's great that Juliet is already vocalizing what she wants to grow. :0). Way to start them young!
