Well, today was yellow day at VBS. Each day has a designated color theme which everyone wears. Of course we all wanted to support this, but Maddie doesn't have a lot of yellow (due to our obsession with pink). However, the boys helped me pick out this dress and yellow flower to help her stay in the spirit of things!
She looks pretty serious about it, doesn't she? Maddie has a really sweet smile that melts your heart, but it's hard to capture since the only time she'll do it is when I take the camera down and grin at her!
Davis and Andrew have been asking to plant seeds recently, so I got a couple of Sesame Street "My First Garden" kits for them. Since Andrew loves tomatoes and Elmo, I got him the Elmo's tomato growing kit. And, because Davis's favorite color is green, I got him the Oscar the Grouch green bean growing kit. They had so much fun creating their greenhouses and planting their seeds. I tried explaining the concept of a greenhouse, but they still called Andrew's a "redhouse" because his pots and Elmo stickers were red. Not sure my explanation was very effective. That's ok - they had a blast! We put them in the kitchen window sill and I'm sure they'll be checking them every day.
