Gardening Love!

This weekend was HOT HOT HOT! It was the perfect weather to be outdoors and loving life! (Well after the world didn't end! haha). We hit the small outdoor garden hard! We got our herbs and squash in the ground and then planted the Topsy Turvy upside down planters.  This tiny garden is small, but it's perfect for the 3 kids to tend and help it grow! They love to plant and then harvest too.

We got some great soil with nutrients in the ground and got it all ready for the rest of the plants that will be going in on Friday, before we head out of town for camping! Yay!

Michaels has some awesome garden goodies in the 1.00 section!! This garden journal is perfect for the kiddos to jot their findings and the watering schedule should eliminate all the fighting for who gets to wield the watering can next!

Did you spend any time outdoors?

In The Garden With Kids!

 If there is one thing I love to do in the outdoors, it's gardening! It's another one of those Summer Memories that I have with my grandfather on my fathers side. He still keeps a very large garden and we still go there and pick veggies, the only difference is that I go there with my own children and not my parents! (WOW!).

We started our herb garden today and each child had a blast getting involved in their own special ways!! We had garden scoopers, seed pourers and waterers! In honor of earth day we truly had a blast getting muddy!

Since the weather finally started to warm up again (did I mention SNOW last weekend???), the kids hit the water table again! I was THRILLED when I found a Ziploc freezer bag FULL of different sized scoops at a garage sale (.05)!!! This has been the MOST LOVED part of the table! We broke it off into 2 sections. 1 with just water and ducks and all water toys. The other half has these containers, scoops and funnels. The kids LOVE IT! They have a blast filling and squirting and just being silly. Who would have thought that the normal things EVERYONE throws away, are their treasures pieces!

Our very unhealthy but delicious snack that tied in perfectly? Worms in dirt of course!!!

What did you do to honor Earth Day?
