We planted our seeds today

We started by reading "Plants" by Melissa Stewart, an e-book we checked out from the Scottsdale Library online. The kids learned the word "photosynthesis" and how plants make their own food. Just like we do in the kitchen! haha.

We planted sweet corn, green peppers, carrots, cucumbers, pumpkin, peppers, squash, tomatoes, watermelon, forget-me-nots, a single apple seed from an apple my son ate, and a mystery seed my daughter found at the park yesterday.

We bought a green house with pellets for ease of planting. Just add water!

We made signs for the seeds out of toothpicks and masking tape.

Here is our little garden :o) We can't wait to see some sprouts!!

March 2, 2011 - Dr. Seuss's birthday celebration

We had a great time celebrating Dr. Seuss's birthday yesterday! We had some friends over to help us celebrate. We watched "The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That" on PBS in the morning. We baked a cake in the afternoon, and we also read Dr. Seuss books.

After everyone took turns stirring the ingredients, Julian carefully put the bundt pan in the oven.

Julian was so proud of his work!

We added some orange glaze and orange zest to the top.

The kids all sang Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss and blew out the candles for him :o)
