"*Make A MESS Monday :))*"
It's such a lovely SPRING DAY today, a bit windy but
absolutely LOVELY!! I got home early enough to do some
gardening around the yard with the kids. It felt awesome to
be out and about doing the simple things I love. Cal got to ride
his bike and Sia got to fiddle around and dirty up a bit ;)).
As we cleaned up the bushes and turned the soil, I

As we cleaned up the bushes and turned the soil, I
remembered Jen's fun post on her first "Make A Mess
Monday" -- Fun Spring Planters with her lil one's, and simple as
that, we decided we should go ahead and make our own.
It turned out to be as messy as it sounds but LOTS of
fun and a really lovely outcome...............

Lets Spring Up Some Seeds With Love
To begin, we painted some plant pots we bought at the grocery
store for only a $1. They actually where already painted in green and
orange but we decided to add our own personal touches to the pots.
Painting with children under 5 can be a lot of fun with patience *HA*
We decided to simply do finger painting as the brush was
getting us nowhere anytime soon. So I allowed the kids
to dig in and "MaKe a lOt Of mEsS"
Sia had paint ALL over her, from her head to toes, it was pretty funny to watch.
Perfectly messy but with lots of love....
Our Plant Pots Are All DONE ;)))
After painting our plant pots, we gathered some dirt
from the yard. Filled up our pots as instructed per the
seed packets, then proceeded to plant our seeds..
We planted our seeds and watered them. We choose to place
them on the window seal in the kitchen. It's a great location
where we can all participate in keeping an eye on them
and showering them with lots and lots of love, until
it's time to plant them out in the garden..We found
some butterflies from Sia's birthday party and added
them to the plants to add a touch of spring to them ;))
LOVING THEM A WHOLE LOT!!!
Come back often and check on the progress of our
plants.. We will post updates as they sprout out and
prepare to be transferred out into the garden...
It's Officially S P R I N G Tomorrow....
Spring Into The Season.....:)))
