How a Garden Grows

I had hoped today would be nice enough to have a park and picnic day. Since that didn't happen, we did one of the next best things. Elsie and I planted a little indoor garden. There's not much to it...I bought a kit that came with basil, sunflower, and zinnia, which is a strange combination if you ask me. Since we're just in it for the fun and observation of it, I figure it'll work out perfectly. I bought her a "science journal" (notebook) so we can make observations and take notes to compare and contrast how they grow. See what PBS does to a mom? Too much Sid the Science Kid, I think. Still, I'm curious to see what Elsie will come up with all on her own. I'll be sure to post our findings when there's something good to report!

I'm so glad you are back to blogging - I've missed you! I love the pics of your sweet princesses and the pictures from Elsie's party too - precious. The invitation is adorable too. Welcome back, my friend!!

This is such a great idea!

Elsie, the future scientist. Has a nice ring to it! ;)

I can't wait until Max is old enough to play with science kits....one of the benefits of being a mommy!
