Settling In For A Busy Summer

We have been very content lately to stay close to home and work in the gardens. The vegetable gardens are in and you can check out more at http://www.ourwoodlandgarden.blogspot.com/. Ceili has been helping thin the radishes and spinach and LOVES to eat the tiny radish sprouts.


Ceili has also been spending alot of time hanging out with her friend Natalie from next door. They enjoy drawing with sidewalk chalk and blowing bubbles. The other day they were swinging on the front porch and thought it was so funny to pose for pictures. They both hammed it up and kept saying "Cheeeeese"!
The weather has been great for picnicing. We had dinner in the yard on a blanket and Ceili got to have an ice cream treat because she ate such a good supper. She is vey fast and gets into everything. She constantly explores and has been very interested in a robin that is nesting on the front porch. Erin rolled up some towels and fashioned a bird nest for Ceili to sit on. Erin also dug out a few Easter eggs for her to try to hatch.
Sunday Erin and Ceili had art day. They started with water color paints in the morning and made a lovely painting. They than headed to the kitchen to cook up a batch of playdough. Ceili loved to help cook it! After it cooled, they rolled it out and squished it around. Lots of messy fun! Ceili decided to share half of the batch with Natalie. Sorry for the mess Joel and Shannon!
