Making a "Garden in a dish" was one of the tasks assigned to our big girl for online learning today. She dived right in and spent HOURS putting her garden together. Pokemon, gemstones, cars all went right in there.
I have been growing some windowsill vegetable cuttings and it turns out sprouting bak choy makes a good tree in a mini garden! Carrot tops are good too!
She cut some of Papa's red nasturtiums for the garden, too. They really brightened up the scene.
Our big boy constructed a popsicle stick house just for her (and used up all our hot glue gun sticks in the process).
To top it off, Papa gave them some salad green seeds to plant in their garden. They were hopping with excitement and they can't wait for the seeds to sprout. They just need to resist the urge to reposition the plants/water the plants/poke the soil every few minutes and we'll be fine.
From the start of the week, we've been venturing out for a bike ride every afternoon. We do a short loop around our neighbourhood. The children love it because it's short and they can go as many rounds as they want. Our big boy enthusiastically decided on 10 rounds today, up from 6 yesterday. It was hard work keeping up with him! While my idea of a nice bike ride is going different places every day, these guys are chomping at the bit to go the same route every.single.day.
That being said, it's great to see them having an enthusiasm for daily exercise so I'm just gonna take their lead on this one.
