Little Gardeners

We have been wanting to put in a garden since we moved here but other projects have gotten in the way.  This weekend Andy  built a raised bed and the girls helped fill it with plants today. We planted some basic starters after reading on Pinterest about the easiest plants to maintain for newbies. We are going to try to grow some herbs too but closer to the house.  The girls were so excited and can't wait to see them grow and bring them in to eat. Crossing our fingers some grow! The girls had most fun digging in the dirt and pouring lots of water to make mud pies.

Happy 3rd Birthday Molly Rose!

Molly had such a great birthday weekend full of fun. She picked out Scooby Doo Snacks to bring to preschool for her special celebration there and loved telling people that they ate "bones" for her treat. She sported a glittery paper crown made by her teacher and proudly used the big girl potty all day (last week she decided she was only wearing underwear to school after months of no progress with potty training).

Molly has a TINY obsession with bandaids so it seemed appropriate to have a Doc McStuffins birthday.  She loved eating all her themed treats and played put the bandaid on stuffy.  She was spoiled with many gifts but of course of few of her most favorite were bandaids, gum, and a squirt gun.  I don't think she stopped smiling all day.  She also shared her celebration with my grandma, Granny, who turned 90 years old a couple days before.  The sun was shining and it was a perfect day to be outside.

Some other fun this weekend included a visit to two of our friends homes for some quality time and a few trips to Menards to complete our first vegetable garden.   And now I am counting down the days until summer break so I can spend more time relaxing and spending time with family.  

  She has been wearing those boots everywhere.

Showing off!

Preschool screening. Oh that smile melts my heart.   I thought for sure she would qualify given the fact that she baby talked and was super clingy.   Passed screening with flying colors.

Last day of preschool. Such a big girl!
