Book + Planting Seeds

While looking through Marshall's books last week, I found this book that we'd never even read before. As soon as I saw it, I remembered some flower seeds I've been meaning to plant, and I knew I had a pot ready to use! 🌻🌷🌼 Last Spring, Marshall enjoyed helping me plant flowers, so I knew this would be an activity he would love. Sure enough, he did 😊

Now's the real test: we wait to see if anything actually grows! If not, no big deal. I know he'd love to see the flowers grow, but I know he loved planting the seeds just as much 😀

Planting Memories

Marshall learned about plants a couple weeks ago at daycare, so I figured he would enjoy helping me plant flowers the other day.  I didn't realize how much he would enjoy it (and how upset he would be when the dirt was put away 😂), or how much I would enjoy it myself. <--Mom, you read that right. haha.

This past week, I found planting flowers to be really relaxing.  I know, who am I?  lol.  Which then led me to wonder why it had to be something that could end up being really expensive that was relaxing to me. Ha!

But, this is also one of my new favorite memories: planting flowers with Marshall.  He loves helping pour the dirt into the pot, even though his cup barely has any in it and some ends up in the yard.
