So I got lazy last week and stopped blogging before I finished out my week of work, but I did want to share a story about our snow day. Now our kids have seemed to keep colds and what not, so we have not taken the girls out to play in the snow before ((that and it keeps melting before we have a chance to play)) Anyways, even though there was only about 2-3 inches of snow we budled everyone up and took them out to play in the snow. We found out that Emma does not like to be in the snow, it is "Ewwy, Yucky" and she would rather watch it fall out the window. Isabella on the other hand jumped right in and had loads of fun. She would pick up the snow in her hands and clap it away and she even followed Aiden's lead and laid down in the snow waving her arms back and forth to make a snow angel. Aiden was thrilled that we all came outside, but with our hands so full unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the fun.
After going poop in her potty Emma and I went to the bathroom to flush her business and she decided it was bath time. The grisl are like fish out of water it seems and will get in the bath tub at every opportunity. They just recently discovered Aiden's bath-tub crayons and they have been coloring up a storm. When bath time is over they will even curl up in a ball or just duck their heads to hide from me and avoid getting out, even once all the water is gone and they get mad when I turn the spigot off and they don't get to play with the running water anymore.
Mom left for a trip to Michigan today with two grandsons in tow ((William and Logan)) to go up north and visit GG. Since Mom has so many animals I went over to get a refresher on where they all are and make sure everything would be taken care of while she is gone. When I got there we had to take care of the phone that went in the washer with the laundry and then I got to take inventory of the important details. There are two momma rabbits that could give birth any day now, 6 chicks that are growing like little weeds and a few other rabbits here and there. The chicks are still young, so there is a heat lamp on them.... it actually gave a neat effect on the photo and it almost looks like a pheonix about to burst into flames. This is one of the females that Mom has and she is so pretty....she sat there so pretty and let me snag this photo and then she let me love on her.
We started our garden at home today...J went and got some tomato, cucumber and watermelon seeds and Aiden has collected some bell pepper and apple seeds while we have cooked over the past couple of monthes. Since it was time to start the tomatos we also went ahead and planted Aiden's seeds as well. I am interested to see if they sprout or if they were all harvested from hybrid fruits and veggies?
Aiden got a neat glass rod with his ant farm to start hole in the gel and it worked perfect to create holes for our seeds....J shoed Aiden how to make the seed holes and then Aiden put the seeds in and covered them lightly with dirt.
I grabbed some popsicle sticks out of the craft closet and made row markers that Aiden matched with his seeds.....
....and J watered them before we put the mini-greenhouse lid over it and sat it in the remaining sunlight. I love having fresh veggies growing in the yard and can't wait 'til we start to see sprouts.
