Here are our potato plants which we started from some old potatoes that we had in the cabinet. I was a little worried about these at first because it took a while for them to come up. I am wondering if they are too close together.
and our green beans which our growing on one of the stick tepees we made.
I have found that while playing with the kids outside or in it is helpful to have some nice music going, it sort of helps to keep the mood "happy" if you know what I mean. At least I think it does,but I find that there are zillions of children's cd's that will do exactly the opposite, no matter how happy they sound. Its the sort of happy sound that just adds chaos to the day and drives me crazy, like having a marching band in your living room while you're trying to figure out what for dinner. I recently about this...and so I went to the library, and checked all the cds out by Elizabeth Mitchell and that was that. Finally music that Mama can enjoy too.
