Today officially ushers in spring! I've heard it may snow a little bit tomorrow, but I haven't brought myself to look at the weather. This first day of spring has been gorgeous! We started planting our garden today...we're a bit behind, I know.
Here's the first picture of this year's garden. They don't look like much now, but I love when the first little sprouts break through the soil! I tried to find some flowers to photograph in honor of spring, but the only live flowers I could find were so tiny I needed the Super Macro. Then I just supplemented with a shot of the fake flowers on my door wreath :).
The craft for today was making little pom pom caterpillars. The idea came from a craft in the Oriental Trading catalog. Normally, I am more than happy to support that company by ordering their products, but Kaitlyn really wanted to do this craft today. So I improvised with things we had on hand. And once they were made, we of course had to take them outside....
I also started my determined quest to replace my Scholastic book club addiction with regular trips to the library. So Kaitlyn and I went to the one right down the street today. She got to play in the activity center and with the educational computer games, so she had a blast. I was also thrilled to find that they carry a ton of Thomas the Train and Veggie Tales videos! Why didn't I use the library before, I wonder. Happy Spring!
