Children's Museum and planting up a storm!

We have an annual pass to the local children's museum and our girls LOVE going.  This week they were having a special planting day so we thought this would be fun to try out. Our seeds are already starting to sprout which is very exciting to both girls, but they are too small to capture with the camera right now.  In about two weeks we should have some yummy lettuce to make a salad!

Both girls with their finished planters!

We also recently got some new deck furniture and pots to liven things up a bit.  We planted in all the pots this weekend and things are looking mighty cheery on the deck now.

 I love these planters...they make me smile! :)
Seating for 8!!!

Ashlyn and Kelti bought some seed packets a couple months ago and we just got around to planting them today.  They have two flowers (poppy and zinnia) and two veggies (cucumbers and carrots) growing.  We will see how it turns out!!

 Digging is so much fun

 Before everything starts sprouting....let's see if it works!
We should have Cucumber and Carrots here in a few weeks!
