City Farmers

My kids love their grandpas! They want to be just like them - even though they don't quite dress the same. Our kids wanted to plant some seeds - actually anytime we have anything that resembles a seed, they want to plant it!

Jason and I had some popcorn the other night and the kids found the bowl the next morning. Can we plant it???? After lunch - hoping they would forget. Big mistake - they didn't forget - I did. Within minutes of the discussion, I picked up the bowl of seeds and threw them away as Jason watch in horror. Good grief couldn't he have said something 30 seconds earlier? You can imagine the ahhhh moms I got.

I popped some more popcorn later in the afternoon and seperate the seeds out - now that is love! They headed out with their shovels, boots and hats to plant in the empty lot next to our house. Drew would dig since Ally's shovel would go in the hard soil and Ally would put in 2 or 3 seeds. This took FOREVER and they refused to play with the neighbor boy since they were working in the field.

After supper they headed back out to learn from the expert - Farmer Willis. He used the hoe so effieciently to dig and cover back up. He also talked them into putting in a lot more seeds.

Today I have had to fend off little farmers wanting to go water the seeds with the hose. Also Ally is quite upset that there are no plants yet!
