Gardening
Rows have been placed, and we're ready to plant. There's an area on the far right that I set aside for the children to have a Sunflower House and the hubby informed me that he would like to grow melons there. As I stood there speechless, and then finally choked up, "What about the Sunflower House for the children?", he said, "Oh, I'll till up a separate area in the yard for that!" I think the man is looking for an excuse to use his new heavy duty tiller. Ha!
With all the garden talk and Spring approaching, we have been focusing on Seeds since last week, and will continue through the next couple weeks.
In the photo above Kellyann was searching and digging out mystery seeds that one of the kiddies decided to plant on his own when we weren't looking. =)
What's on our shelf
Gwen placing her seed in her cup.
Some of the children did seed sorting.
And some enjoyed pouring seeds. :)
Corbin brought in cantaloupe seeds last week. Mia brought in apple seeds this week.
If you notice any seeds while you're eating, wash 'em up, and bring 'em in a small ziploc bag.
Other Snippets
Oh, and lookie what I got...
I have my very own djembe! The children have their class set (which were generously donated by Mama Tanya), so guess what we'll be doing more of!
That's right. Drumming!
I'm back to taking djembe classes on Saturdays and absolutely love it. Today, we listed to Sherry Gringas' CD and did some simple drumming to Fanga. So if you hear your child singing a West African melody, you'll know why. Unless you also watch the Lion King. :p
I've been in contact with a gentleman who facilitates childrens drumming circles and music classes and I'm hoping to be able to bring him out to do music classes with the children like we do weekly yoga with Krista. Will keep you updated on that progress, but am trying to do one thing at a time with the property search and upgrading my permit here at the house. Baby steps...
