We have been having the most amazing spring weather here in Chicagoland the last few weeks. We were even able to spend a weekend planting our garden full of our first round of vegetables. Caleb and I check everyday after we drop off the kids at school to see how our garden is growing and are so excited to see the beginnings of our radishes, spinach, lettuce, and peas!
Our sweet neighbor gave each of the kids a small pot filled with “dirt” (oreo cookies, chocolate covered raisins, and milk duds) with instructions to come over to her house to fill them with her real dirt and seeds when the goodies were gone. They were so excited to receive these pots and, as you can imagine, ate their treats as quickly as they could. They went over to plant their seeds and came home with cherry tomatoes, sunflowers, and pumpkins. Since it isn’t quite warm enough for them to be outside yet, we’ve kept them in the window sill in the kitchen and they are growing like crazy! I am really hoping that it warms up soon so we can replant them outside in the garden before they get too big!
They each have been so interested to watch their plants grow and are amazed each day how much bigger they are getting. This is such a fun time of year!
