Planting..





Today Maddie & I spent as much time outside as possible. It was a perfect temp & it felt beautiful. AHHH...finally! Maddie got to ride her bike to playgroup today..we stopped alot, but she did great & she had so much fun at the park with her friends.

We went to the ECOexpo last weekend at the Rec ctr & picked up alot of freebies. One of the cool things I learned while we were there was how to roll your own planting pots with newspaper. All you need is a jar & paper to create a tube that you fold the ends down for a planter. You can start your seeds directly in it & then stick the whole thing in the ground when you are ready to plant them..the newspaper will just slowly break down into the soil. Maddie & I planted some zinnias today. Hope we have better luck keeping them alive than our tadpole!
