The warmer weather has finally reached us. It couldn’t
have come quick enough for the boys and well Mom and Dad too, we were getting
cabin fever being cooped up in the house for so long. We’ve started working on the yard. I cannot wait to get out there and plant
flowers. The kids love getting involved
with planting and designing our flower beds.
It’s such a wonderful time of year I love hearing the birds and the kids
like helping to fill the bird feeders, we watch and see all of the different
kinds of birds that come to visit. It's truly is magical to watch everything wake
up and come back to life. And not to
mention a wonderful opportunity to teach kids about the environment as well as
other important life lessons. Such as patience,
it’s fun to watch day after day how much the trees have budded or the flowers have
grown. I love exploring our flower beds with the kids and seeing their excitement
when a new flower buds or the plants grow taller. They learn the importance of nurturing the
flowers and plants and enjoy watering and weeding, and I enjoy working together
without any bickering and sitting back relaxing and watching the flowers
grow! This year I am excited to do some
family craft projects for the garden, I really want to make some garden stones
with the kids hand prints and I have a lot of ideas using terra cotta pots that
I think the kids will really enjoy. Wind
chimes, planters, and if we are ambitious enough I found this really cool
looking bird bath on Pinterest that I would love to make. Check back for photos and instructions, I
will post frequently to my projects and crafts page as we complete our projects!
