Urban Farming

It's finally starting to feel like spring around here, which means, it's time to plant the garden.

 Harvey and Dexter were in charge of planting the peas
 .... I'll be thinning those down later  :)

Easter Time!!!

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I LOVE holidays.  I'm the kind of person who decorates for Christmas as soon as the Thanksgiving meal is done.  And I love Easter!  It's one of my all time favorites. I love the stories (both the Easter and the Passover stories are big hits with me), I love all of the pretty pastel colors, and I love the candy (naturally).  So I'm so excited that Easter time is upon us.

Luckily for me, my boys share my enthusiasm for these events.  I told them that we were going to dye eggs today and they could hardly wait!  We started this project at about 7:30 this morning... and I'm sure we'll do it again tomorrow!!

 Here we go!  And by the way.... Harvey is wearing a blue feather head band because he made himself a "Blue Macaw" costume (we saw Rio over the weekend)
 ah the brown egg.... It started out white, but after multiple color baths, it ended up like this :)
 Decorating the eggs with stickers (yes, Dexter is sitting on the table... )

Harvey, happy with the way his egg turned out!

This is Harvey's favorite new picture face.  I say "Hey... look at me and smile", and he does this.  Charming.

 Dexter left this egg in the dye for about 30 minutes, which for a four year old is a very long time!!  He was very pleased with the result.

And the finished product.  Looks like tomorrow we will be having egg salad sandwiches.  Can't wait!!
