Planting a Garden

Two weeks ago Mali had a first time experience- Planting flowers. :)

We had spent part of the morning at the Home Depot Kids' Workshop making a bird feeder. Seriously, the Kids' Workshop is so much fun. They host it the first Saturday morning of each month. We started taking Mali last summer and it has been a blast to watch her develop in her interest and abilities to swing a hammer (with dad's help) and paint her projects. You should check it out. For reals.

After Mali made her bird feeder, we checked out the garden area and decided to pick up some inexpensive annuals and a clay pot and garden with Mali. (It was a gorgeous day and this turned out to be a $5 awesome outside activity) She loved it and has taken a huge liking to checking on and watering her flowers everyday when she gets home from school or the sitter's. Using a watering can has been a huge learning curve....many soaked shoes in the past two weeks.... :)

I promise I was happy here. :)
