Little Gardeners

 Late Sunday night I remembered that I had playgroup at my house.  I had not planned anything so I got up early and went to Wal Mart to get some pots and decided to have the girls plant and decorate pots for Mother's Day.  I thought it would be fun to take them to Scott and Christine's house to see an amazing garden for a little "field trip".  So we walked down to the garden wonderland.  The girls LOVED it.  They loved going over the "princess" bridge to the garden.  It is amazing how fascinated little kids can be at things you wouldn't think  They really liked seeing how things grew and guessing what they would be to eat later on. 

They were so cute in their bright colored dresses.  Abby and Ella just happened to be wearing the same thing that day.  They couldn't stop giggling when they say each other.  While we were there we took pictures to make cards for Mother's Day. 

 Abby has always got to do some kind of princess pose.

 After our little field trip we went back to our house and I let the girls pick the strawberries from our strawberry patch.  The kids all love being able to pick fresh strawberries everyday in the yard this time of year.  Our strawberry patch does not seem dissapoint!

 After their "berry" delicious snack we planted pots with flowers and started seeds for gardens.  They could have dug all day filling pots if I let them.  I found princess shovels and gloves at the store that morning for them to use.  We also made finger print lady bugs on the pots.

 So proud of their little pots!

 Abby loves to garden with me all the time now.  She was so excited about her things she planted.

She has helped me to get our garden going.  She loves to smell the basil she planted and cannot wait for her watermelons to grow!
