planting seeds

after making our may baskets for grandparents,
i surprised the girls with their own little flowers to plant--
daisies from the $1 spot at target.
i love target.
oh, back to the daisies...

we put the little compressed dirt discs (?!) into cups of water

and watched it get bigger and bigger

then we fluffed it up with a fork

and dumped it back into its container,

making sure to get it all out.

we then pressed 5 seeds into the soil and

voila! 

and then they got knocked over like the next day...
so we planted more...
and syd's got knocked over again.
but i'm happy to say that ali has 2 little sprouts as of today!

How fun! Anything with dirt is a hit. Bet they will enjoy watching their flowers grow!

We love dirt too! Ardon keeps asking to plant tomatoes again so he can have something to eat! Will be waiting for pictures of them with their flowers, if they survive that long;)
