Sowing the Seeds of Love

...Maybe.

Target had a cute lavendar kit for Valentine's day and we decided to get it. So late last week Cole and I had a little garden time indoors, even though it was chilly outdoors. We planted some in this little pot and the rest outside in the front yard. I don't think he really got what we were doing, but he did enjoy working the dirt. :) We put the pot on his window sill so it can get lots of sun and we'll see what happens.

The unfortunate thing for Cole is that his parents are lacking in green thumb skills. We've managed to kill even the plants that require almost no work. Like bamboo. Twice. But I have high hopes for this little lavendar pot, and if it sprouts we'll plant it outside once it reaches 3 inches. I like the idea of growing things with him and seeing them change along with seeing him change. Plus it would be nice to have more lavendar around the house.

March 16th Update: It never bloomed, and neither did what I planted in the yard......oh well. :)

Some Very Good Friends

Cole and I took a last-minute trip at the end of January to visit my good friend Dana in Arkansas. I've been friends with Dana for 15 years. We met in high school and we just clicked! Her daughter, Saraya, is 2 months older than Cole and her birthday is February 1, so we decided to come attend all her parties. That's right, she had more than one. Dana is a master party planner.

We had so much fun! The kids just had a blast together. Whether they were playing in Saraya's kitchen, or running around the house with balloons, they had a great time.

Cole did great on the plane, which was a blessing as he hadn't traveled on an airplane since he was about 10 months old, and that particular trip he was pretty antsy. He fell asleep both times on the plan to and from Arkansas, and took a good chunk out of our flight by sleeping.

Here are some pictures of our visit, it was fun to make a spontaneous trip!!
