Home Depot

What a rainy day!  Today we went to Home Depot to look at paint colors for our porch. I saw a picture on a magazine cover of a porch that was painted green and I really like it. I think a bright, light color would really make our dark and drab porch look fresh and more modern. As luck would have it, Home Depot was having a kid's project day where all of the kids in the store could sit down and make a project for free. Today K & A built a planter box using glue and nails and then painted and decorated the box using stickers. And to top it off, they each got to pick a tomato plant to take home with them. Super fun and super cool!

This afternoon I became extremely bored. Katie, Allie and I spent some time in the garage planting cucumber, pumpkin and broccoli seeds in little pots. I am getting a bigger garden and I think it will be fun for them to have a section of the garden that will be their own. And we are also hoping that some of the seeds will grow! My girls got extremely brave during one of the downpours and they each took turns running laps in our front yard and splashing in puddles. All of us got very wet! We got over 2 inches of rain.  It was one of those days that when they came in the house after being outside, they each disrobed and had fun running around the house being naked babies. A favorite pastime for them! It is hard to believe that tomorrow is their last Sunday School class for the year. Ms. Cori will always hold a special place in their hearts!
