After the Storms

Today when we got back from our weekly trip the library, we had to explore all the puddles and the "pond" that now resides in our backyard.

First up, puddle jumping.  





Next, a visit to the "pond" formerly known as our cutting garden.  











After all our splashing, jumping, kerplunking and wadding, we headed in to dry off, have some lunch and warm up.  
It was a great morning!
Have a wonderful rest of the day, dear ones. 
We'll see you tomorrow.

Boots and Bean Sprouts

This morning I woke up to discover this:

How I missed this last night I am not so sure, 
but it was rather sweet to discover it first thing this morning.

And later on we discovered this:
Our beans are sprouting!

The girls made these a couple of Saturdays ago when we went to the Children's Museum.

We've been checking every day, and today they had sprouted!

It's very exciting, and clearly required much investigation. 



The people at the Children's Museum had the girls spray their piece of paper towel with water. 
Then we placed it in the ziploc bag and the staff member stapled it. 
She then had the girls place their beans in each bag above the staples. 
We zipped it closed, and she told us to keep the paper towel moist and 
to tape it to a sunny window.  

We hope your day was full of  surprises, wonder and magic!
As always, we'll see you tomorrow.

Fashion is serious business.

Or maybe not!


Have a good night, dahlings. 
We'll see you tomorrow.

Fun with Boxes









Sometimes all you need are a couple of really great boxes to have a really great morning.
And on that note, we're off to go turn off our lights and participate in Earth Hour.  
Have a great night, dear friends. 
We'll see you tomorrow.  

Earth Hour

We have bought our candles and are looking forward to switching off our lights and participating in Earth Hour tonight.  We hope you'll join us!
