It was a quiet week for us. For an Alaskan April, the weather has been spectacular, so we have been outside quite a bit.
I saw this Ladybugs and Bees Tic Tac Toe on Pinterest, Amelia and I went straight to work on one for outdoors.
We used our already cut birch that we had from our Winter Woodlands Birthday Party a year ago, but will have to make more as these are too cute...we need to make one for pretty much everyone we know. Will make the "board" thinner and less rustic on our gift versions :)
We also did some planting!
I planted Nasturtiums in big pots for the front as I always do and a couple of pots of peas, while Amelia did her pots that decorate her cottage.
Unfortunately, we had to buy new seeds this year as the ones we collected last year I mistakenly put under the sink and they molded :(
Nasturtiums do so well here that they are my flower of choice. I did do a couple of containers of peas too. The rest I do toward the end of May so that I won't have plants all over the house.
Amelia got some painting in too...
It's a "Mommy and Baby" rainbow.
Finally, Amelia had "Library Day" for many of her young stuffed animals.
They each have a library card (from our National Geographic Kids Magazine) and she uses her Barbie computer to check them out.
Someone always forgets their library card or there is a bit of drama as to which book they end up with, but the outcome is always fair and full of lessons as Amelia is a lovely librarian!
Happy reading...
