Planting Peas

Ok, so, I didn't actually take this picture today. But, before you judge, it was taken just a few days ago, so it's not like I'm pulling some ancient pic out of the archives and trying to pass it off. Second, once again, the little one was asleep before I got around to remembering my blog since Laramie and I had to go out pretty late and get something for her to take to school tomorrow because it's her day to take snack. That's a big day in a 3 year old's world. Plus, this is a very cute pic and I wanted to share it. This is Irelyn planting her first seeds, with just a little help from Daddy. They are peas, which are great seeds to plant when you are going to have tiny fingers helping you out because the seeds themselves are not tiny. We all had a great time doing this at the dining room table the other night and the girls have been lovingly watering them with a medicine syringe ever since. That's another great tip for gardening with kiddos, by the way. I found one of those little syringes they give you at the pharmacy and I fill a cup of water and let the girls fill up the syringe and they squirt one syringe full into each seed cup. Works like a charm. No mess and no drowning seeds! I love doing stuff like this with my girls. Laramie loved to help with the garden last year, and we can't wait to plant an even bigger one this year and get Sissy's help! Hopefully, our peas will survive and we can post a pic of our seedlings in a few days. Keep your fingers crossed!
