Yes, technically, it's the Topsy Turvy planter with tomatoes in it...but that counts, right? We did plant 2 plants down by our pumpkins so we'll see how they do too. I think Liam thought they'd just sprout as soon as we set it up.... ;)

Date Night #1
Had our 1st monthly date night on the 12th as well. Steve's boss had a party at his house and we were invited....had some drinks and fun with his co-workers! Hooray date night!
Shatto Farm Visit 6.12.10
'Just a couple of hiefers.'---Manda's hilariously clever line, right? ;)
Checking out the cows getting milked...and watching out for flying milk!
Completed the dairy visit this past weekend and it was alot of fun. We've sworn to only buy their milk from now on! And surprisingly, the banana flavor....not too bad. The kids had alot of fun and tasted and enjoyed all 5 flavors (chocolate, strawberry, orange cream, banana, and root beer). Mom, Dad, Manda, Sarah, and Aiden went with us out to Osborn, MO for the fun. Everyone should take this tour, if they have the chance! It was rainy but the tour was all indoors so that was nice....we had a picnic on their front porch too! Friday, June 11, 2010
Craft 1...Bubble Snakes
Bubble snakes...that's was this week's craft. Very easy and turned out to work and be very fun for the kiddos...and the Nana and Papa (I think they might go home and make their very own!). Don't mind that Liam's not wearing pants....it's his new thing. Whatever works, right?Things completed
I going to change the color and font of the things I have completed, once they are completed....make sense? :) Just as an indication to me and whomever reads this to know that I'm working on things and what I've been able to do. First photoblog to follow!
