Yesterday afternoon, we soaked the soil that came in the tins (you know, the kind that is super compacted together and you soak it in water so it'll become soft), placed it back in the little tins and tucked the tiny seeds inside. Now we begin the long wait for the sprouts to appear.
Elizabeth had quite a time playing in the dirt. She carefully placed each little seed in the soil and covered it with a little more dirt. It was incredibly sweet watching her be so gentle.
After they are 3 inches tall (according to the directions), we can take them outside and plant them!! Even more fun!!!
Hmmmm... I wonder who is more excited here- me or Elizabeth? HA!!!

How fun! Looks like Elizabeth really enjoyed it!!! :)
Does that girl ever take a bad picture? She looks like she just might be a future gardener. For your next project try something she can pick and eat.
What a fun mommy/daughter project! :)
I just have to tell you....your little girl is just the cutest! I have really enjoyed your blog...especially anything related to her! Aren't girls the best? I have a couple myself! :-)

There's nothing like getting our hands dirty in soil and watching the blessing grow!
How wonderful! Elizabeth is such a sweet (and adorable!) helper!
