transplanting

We spent the day (well actually K and Casey spent the day) transplanting our over grown seedlings into bigger pots. We've still been having some frost warnings so we're going to wait another week until we actually put everything in the ground. Hopefully we can get a break in the rain long enough to plant.

Anyhow I wanted to show how much our little plants have grown. Its pretty exciting as we have never started our own seeds before. A few of the plants didn't make it including our cucumbers and tomatoes.

Mayday

This Mayday we decided to celebrate by leaving the fairies a treat. K kept calling the fairies gnomes which I thought was pretty cute. On Mayday eve K brought out a little bowl of granola and a cup of milk for the fairies. Then in the morning we went back to find everything eaten and a little rainbow bag. He was pretty excited about the whole thing and kept talking about "gnomes" eating.

Rainbow Swap

I've signed myself up for two upcoming swaps. Seriously what was I thinking? :) I just finished my rainbow swap items. I've made pots of gold filled with yellow glass rocks. I still need to get everything together to send it in. I'm really excited to see what comes back as "rainbow" is a pretty broad swap theme. My next swap is play food and I think I'm going to be making sushi.

Watercoloring in the woods

We spent the day in our local state park hiking around the big pond. We stopped for a picnic near the water and K was able to run around and explore the woods. Then we collected water from the pond to water color with. K had a good time pointing out the wildlife (goose, woodpecker, and a swan).

We've been trying to get over to the state park more often so hopefully we will have lots more art in the park days.

Letting our Butterfly

Today we let our butterfly go. We had him since he was a caterpillar. K has been fascinated with the whole process and keeps asking me to get out the cocoon so he can talk about it over and over. We ended up having to keep the butterfly (or buhbuys as k calls him) much longer then I had intended. After he emerged from the cocoon it rained for several days. Today was our first nice day. Luckily he was just fine and took off down the street as soon as he was free. :)

Sewing Bear

My mom found a wonderful sewing bear for 25 cents at a mom-to-mom sale. I've been trying to find one for a while as K has been expressing lots of interest in sewing and knitting lately. Here we are sewing together for the first time. I think he was pretty excited to finally be able to participate.

Earth Day

I'm a couple of days behind here but this is what we did on earth day. I got the idea from the blog:http://childhoodmagic.blogspot.com/

She has such great ideas! On Earth Day we also walked into town to buy some organic raspberries from our local natural store. Overall it was a great day. Especially since K finally took a nap after a week nap strike and it was 3 and half hours!
