Rainy Day Project

One of Tiegan's Easter basket surprises was a triple-packet of the above seeds. I already had these 3 adorable pots sitting on the ledge above my sink, which I was using to hold tea bags. I thought they would be perfect for this little project.

I was hoping to do this outdoors yesterday, so we could be as messy as we wanted - but she was at her grandma's most of the day. When we picked her up, we went grocery shopping... and she fell asleep on the way home.

We were all in pretty grumpy moods this morning. Probably just coming down from the sunshine-induced high from yesterday, as today is 50 degrees and rainy. So, I thought I'd initiate this seed-planting project indoors to get everyone in better spirits. Tiegan has been so excited about finally doing this (asking me "is it Seed Day yet?"), I thought it would be uplifting for both Jason and myself, just to see the smile on her face.

We had to get some good soil from my dad (hence the dirt in a coffee can), as we probably shouldn't be digging in our yard. Besides - I don't know how good our soil is, and I didn't want T to be disappointed if her plants didn't grow. We knew my dad definitely has the best - he's a landscaper.

In the following picture she's patiently waiting for me to pat it down for her. Can you see my plaid preggo belly poking out in the corner? ;)

She's watered them, and now we wait. Wish us luck!
