Yesterday I loaded up the kids and we went shopping for flowers. There's a local vocational technology school that has a Green House Management class. This flower sale was all of their doing. They plant the flowers and tend to them they do all of the sales...this is a big fund raiser for the class. In my life before kids, I worked as a school counselor, and I would help students sign up for classes like these. I have a soft spot in my heart for Vo Tech kids, and this is one event I look forward to all year long. The students are always so helpful and so proud of their work. I love that!
I let Red Shoes and Happy Feet pick out some flowers that they wanted. Here's a glimpse of our morning...
It didn't feel like flower planting weather...it was a chilly morning.
Don't you love the Cheerio that's riding on Red Shoes?
The kids made a friend at the sale. This girl was so sweet. She let them water some flowers and
taught them a few things about gardening. I hope she told them to keep their tractors, shovels, and various other forms of "diggers" out of the garden...if we're able to grow anything this year it's going to be a miracle!
It was a great morning with the kids. Happy Feet and I did some planting in the afternoon. I haven't met a kid yet that doesn't like gardening. It's such a good thing to do together.
