Nothing Like a Good Nap

 Stealing Daddy's Hats

This mess was from one pudding cup. One.

 I started seedlings for my vegetable garden in eggshells this year (saw the idea somewhere) but what I didn't realize was that they would shoot up so fast. I thought I had timed everything just right but they quickly outgrew their egg carton, so I took a chance and put them in the ground.

 The cups worked for the first late snow but not the second or third. Back to square one! However, if you are thinking of starting seeds indoors, I highly recommend the eggshell method. It speeds the whole process up and are a snap to plant.

 Court did a lot of "Tummy Time" with George.

 

 Story Time

Luca planting some seeds of her own.

My sweet daughter came in with flowers for Mommy. She picked every single blossom off the vinca vine.

Boys and Dirt

A busy day at our house: Naomi, Luca, George, Court, Audrey and Madison

Pillows for the kids made out of fabric leftover from the new roman shades in their room.

How do you get your kids to eat new things? First eat it in front of them insisting it is "Mommy's special snack" and not really "for kids". Then, give in a little, "oh, okay, you can have a couple of bites". Bingo. Two kids who formally wrinkled their noses at avocado now request their own half (or whole) with a spoon. As you can see, Court has to get every last lick.
