Green Thumb

Well, it looks like the Prince and the Princess have green thumbs! Check out the progress their Home Depot gardens are making after a week and 2 days. I believe that we have parsley and chives. I am not sure what the middle herb is but it is just now starting to sprout.

Home Depot Fun

DadOf3 took the Prince and the Princess to Home Depot this morning for Kid's Activity Day. And what was the project of the day you ask? An herb garden! It is pretty cute as you can see from the pictures. DadOf3 said the kids were very good listeners until they were done making their project. Then they were ready to GO. He said that they wanted to bring the projects home to show me what they had done. Awe! :) After lunch, we let the big kids plant their gardens and we found a good spot for them out of the Knight's reach: on my kitchen window. They did a good job and now everyone is up for naps. Have a great rest-of-your-Saturday!

When the Cats Are Away Knighty-Mouse Will Play!

DadOf3 took the Princess and the Prince to Home Depot Activity Day today. It really is pretty cute. The kids get to wear bright orange Home Depot aprons and make something. DadOf3 has taken the Prince before and he STILL sleeps with the orange race car that he made that day! Princess has never gotten to go so she was thrilled. I actually let her dress herself this morning and breathed a sigh of relief when the outfit that she chose actually matched! Yippee! The girl is learning! The Knight was beside himself with saddness when he saw the Prince, the Princess, and DadOf3 get into Otis the Van. He kept screaming "Nemo! Nemo! Nemo!" (He has Nemo the fish on his tennis shoes and he wanted to put his shoes on too.) I tried to console him with a piece of chocolate. That worked for a little while. He then asked for Chicken Little and I could not say no. So, I sat him on the couch and put in the movie. While he was sitting there, he saw some things that he wanted to play with. Now, these are toys that usually get taken away from him when the Prince and the Princess are here, so I thought "Why not!" and helped him collect some fun toys. He had Will's hammer, the "Bug" Bus (Little People Bus that he and Will fight over named after the bus that takes Princess to and from school), his trusty Bubba, the Princess's trumpet, and the Prince's favorite wooden toy truck and toy car that a neighbor made him for his first birthday. The Knight was living the high life! Go crazy kid, it is not easy being the youngest sometimes.
