EARTH DAY 2009(and belly picture)


Our dear friends Kari and Lilly were able to come and stay the night during their long visit to MN last night. We had a great breakfast this morning and played on the back deck. The boys decorated their own buckets last night to put plants into today. Connor really liked scooping the dirt and pressing it down around his plant. We did Liam's then watered them and put them in the window until it's warm outside.
Since being at my parents, Connor has been asking for a birdfeeder. I bought one at Menards and let the boys color all over it with permanent markers. We filled it with seeds and hung it outside in full view from the windows. The boys will be glued to the windows, watching the birds eat, just like at Grandma and Daddy T's.

We had school today as well. Upon arriving Connor says, "Happy Easter...I mean, Happy Earth Day!!" Too cute. Today we also read the book we bought the boys, Why Should I Recycle, and continue to talk about things we can recycle, what they can be made into and what we do with food waste. He really seems interested in what we are trying to instill in them.

We dropped off our food waste at WLSSD, along with bags of leaves, and will fill a few more planters tonight to top off our celebration!

What did you do for the Earth today??
I attached a bunch of pictures from our visit from Kari and Lilly. Lilly and Liam are 11 days apart in age. They were adorable to watch interact.

These are for you Aaron!!

I finally took a belly picture(last one was at 18 weeks-whoops!). Here it is...29+ weeks!
