Gardening

So we have been revamping the back yard and doing some gardening. We planted carrots, onions, okra, tomatoes, bibb and romaine lettuces, spinach, strawberries, beans, peppers, zucchini, cucumbers, corn, cantaloupe & watermelon. I had some helpers the day we planted everything. And as we finished Sophie says to me:

"When ya gonna plant the mashed potatoes?"


I mean, c'mon...how freaking cute is that????

So this just goes to prove I am NOT a typical homeschool mom and don't reall fit into that mold either.

Carter had to write a limerick today for Language Arts. He was given the first line and had to finish the rest. This is his masterpiece...hope you enjoy it!

There was an old lion named Lou

There was an old lion named Lou.
Who had a hard time going poo.
He sat and he sat.
But was way too fat
To try to poo in his shoe.

I mean c'mon! What else rhymes with Lou that a 7-year-old boy will think of?

I'm so proud of him! And he was just so thrilled he could use "Potty language" in school!!!
