Planting

Last Saturday was the annual plant sale at our church. The girls and I helped out for a couple of hours and did a bit of shopping while we were there, too. Grace chose a fern and the Forget-Me-Nots and Emma chose the Poppy, a Canada Anemone and an Egyptian Onion (not pictured). Since the weather was so lousy on Saturday they decided to wait for better weather to plant the new additions. I didn't make it out with my camera soon enough to catch Emma planting her plants, but I was happy to get the one of her afterward, as well as a couple of Grace preparing a spot for her fern. The Lilly of the Valley and Hosta seemed to be happy to have some new friends in their garden (and we are too)! xo

Nature School!

 Today was the first day of Nature School for the girls! They were so super excited and couldn't wait to get there. Since it's from 9:30am-2:00pm lunches were packed (complete with a love note in each) and extra clothes were taken just in case they got messy while out exploring the woods. 

Welcome to Nature School! We love that it has the look of a one room schoolhouse. 

Each child was given a nature journal to record their findings in from their nature walks and things that they learn about the inhabitants of the forests near us.

The girls had such a truly fabulous time today and didn't stop talking the whole way home (and while we had snack) about all the fun things they did and all that they learned! They absolutely cannot wait for their next class next month (oh goodness, how they wish class was once a week)! xo
