gardening and such

So, I went to Walmart today, and for some reason I went past the gardening stuff.  I'm not sure why, I wasn't planning on starting a garden this year, because we're going to moving in June...somewhere.  A little Disney Princess flower greenhouse caught Erin's eye, and she really wanted to plant seeds.  Right next to it was a much cooler miracle grow kids' greenhouse kit (with 4 kinds of flower rather than 2, and it's acrylic instead of plastic), for the same price, so I talked her into that one.

She was so excited to get to do things on her own.
Putting in the cups

Pouring in the "grow mix"

adding water made it expand (don't know how well you can see it in the pic, but the top 2 are watered, the the bottom 2 aren't)

putting stickers on the stakes

planting the seeds

all done and proud of herself!

She had to take a pic after we got the greenhouse all up

So, of course, I decided we might as well start some veggies too.  It won't be *too* difficult to transplant a patio garden.  ((Now I want to go to Walmart and get a couple other veggies...lol))

and some other random pictures.

At the car wash today.  Patrick doesn't like it at all.  He actually started to fuss before we even got in, but then it turned into total meltdown which took several minutes to recover from after we got out.  Poor kid.

Erin loves it though.
