we are gardeners

Amy has got the gardening bug! Thanks to our friend Mickey and her great "seed planting party" Amy has discovered her love of digging in the dirt and watching things grow. Mami does not have such a green thumb and it has been a challenge for me to keep plants alive in the past. We now have 3 little pots growing amazingly well on our kitchen windowsill -cilantro, peas and some flower that I can't remember the name of. This past week we took a special trip to Home Depot where a nice lady walked us around explaing as simply as possible how to pick, plant (and keep alive!) flowers in our front yard.

So, Nicolas, Amy and I took our plants, shovels and dirt and got super dirty! It was a lot of fun and the kids are very proud of their plants and check on them daily. And it really is nice to have some color in the front yard. Who would have guessed my kids would like gardening?
