Planting Seeds

Planting Seeds Project:

Believe it or not, my son, eight years old, had a week off from school, which was explained to be a  combination of President's Day and the sad state of budget affairs here in California. After getting over the shock of soooooo many days off from school, we had to think of some ways to help pass the time. My son decided he wanted to plant some seeds! Unfortunately, I didn't have any, so we took a little trip to the store and found some that were inexpensive!

           My son decided these were the seeds he wanted to plant.

 Thankfully, I had the potting soil, pots and markers on hand! We labeled the plant markers on some colored craft sticks. I put the soil halfway in the pot, and my son dropped the seeds in the pot and than "put a blanket" as he called it, over the seeds.
 He was in charge of giving them a good drink of water, and placing the markers in the correct pots.

 Here he is with his seeds planted and watered! I just hope he is going to be this happy when it comes time to transplant them into the ground or a larger container!! Although on this day we planted vegetable and flower seeds, I also think some other seeds were planted as well like: "I am important", I am worth spending time with", "My mom trusts me to care for something".

 What seed's might you plant with your child/children  today?



"Hi! I'm Adam, nice to meet you"!



Playtime At Nona's

My Patrick AKA: PAL
Thought you might like to meet the newest member of our family.

This is my very first grandson!! Isn't he the cutest!!! He is near 10 months old. His mother, my daughter, is planning a very sweet first birthday party for him and she will be bringing you all the details of planning a boys first birthday party homespun with love and on a BUDGET. Please stay tuned!! Patrick came over to my house this morning and played with all the toys Nona has for him. He got to hear the cuckoo clock chime, the birds sing and pet Ivy our cat.

He is such a blessing in our lives. Children truly are a gift from God. My daughter is a very patient, loving mother and loves that she is able to stay home and raise her son. "Nona loves you and can't wait to play with you again oooooxxxx" P.S. In case you were wondering what the initials PAL stood for they are the initials of his name: Patrick Addison Lee, my PAL.
