Planting Seeds

Because of a recent conversation with Alisia, we decided to have a planting project for the kids (there are three because Alisia's friend did one). They each painted a pot and planted their own flower seeds. We found a sunny spot on our porch so the kids can make sure to water them when needed. We have fun watching their flowers grow every day!
Isaiah 61:11 "For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations."

we love playing in the dirt - and gardening is the perfect excuse for it! :0) we rent, so we haven't got to start our own garden yet....but since we've been renting where we're at for 3 years already & since i don't see us moving any time soon - we're going to go ahead and start a flower bed and maybe just a lil patch garden! i'm so excited!!!

i'm glad that alisia is having fun learning now where/how things grow! :0)

haha I love this and I'm glad you are sharing this experience with your kids! Even more so because I can relate! I planted some seeds in a pot on our back patio, and it is so fun to go out and see the daily progress - watching the little seeds turn into beautiful flowers. :) You'll have to post a picture of the flowers in full bloom!
