Our Family Of Six: M, M, How does your garden grow?

Sunday, August 19, 2012

Our summer garden actually survived this year. We ate a bunch of sugar snap peas.

We harvested lots of cherry tomatoes for our salad.

The carrots were plump compared to last years thin crop.

Our garden helper, M, watered the garden daily.

This was J's contribution to the garden area...he bought these pink flamingos to decorate the garden.

We also had a bunch of unwanted visitors...greenhorn tomato worms.

Out of the Mouth of Babes

This conversation happened at Kneaders: "I am going to save the rest of this dessert for later." "You mean, so you can eat it in 5 minutes?"
"I didn't know poop could be so fun." Comments after a junior ranger activity held at Cedar Breaks National Park. The junior rangers were looking through owl scat to discover what the owl had eaten. Their owl ate a small rodent. :)
Overheard while riding in the car with E driving, "Should I be wearing a helmet?" "I'm too young to die."
We were discussing clean language and words to avoid. Someone spoke up and mentioned that they heard a student at school say the "B" word. We asked them to spell the forbidden word: BULK. We quickly told them that word was okay to use.
After a presentation, one of our children told their sibling, "I love you. Now, go sit down."
