Friday Fun

Today we did a lot. The day started with preschool. Since p and e are off school for spring break they came with and it was a fun treat because "Miss Kayla", as the kids call her, had it at her house. The all got to play with their friends and have fun. Kayla even has a trampoline in the back, which they think is the ginchiest.
After preschool we made a quick trip to Walmart for some seeds and food for Easter dinner where Sam decided to look into one of those reflector mirrors and wad cracking me up.
When we got home there was much gardening to do. I am excited about my garden this year and the kids are too. The girls and I planted our tomato garden. (for some reason the little garden I started years ago on the side of the driveway only grows tomatos.....and a lot of them too. I think I've figured out it is the egg shells I've been adding to the soil. I had heard an old wives tale that that worked so I did it and now I see things on pintrest saying so also. Woohoo. So now that is just the tomato garden and the bigger garden is in the backyard. More blogs to come on the progress of that.)
Ethan helped me roll out newspaper for our seedlings and we planted cantaloupe and watermelon in some of those. The kids also each got a seedling tray to plant whatever flowers they wanted.
After an attempt to teach Ethan to ride his bike (jim did this)and a walk around the block with the kids (i did this) I made sugar cookies while the kids played and then they came in and decorated them. It was a mess but I had just put down on the table an old sheet and then shook it off outside easy peasy.
Last but not least, a campout in Mom and Dad s room tonight. Day 2 of spring break, check.
