Our Little Garden

This morning the kids went out to play and both came in yelling at me that there was a little surprise for me. I went out to discover our first rose on one of our rose bushes. Emma loved that it was pink!

Emma just made the connection that her middle name is Rose, like the flower. She told me that all roses are hers now, cause of her name. I thought it was cute.

We (Kendall) have been working a lot in the garden. We are enjoying fresh peas, lettuce, and strawberries. At the rate the garden is expanding we won't have any grass left in the back yard.


Noah was so very excited to discover the radishes are all ready to harvest. He washed these two off and cut then up. After he and Emma tasted them they said they were "super spicy". They did eat them all though. Last night I saw Emma with a cup and she was eating whatever was in it. Then as she got closer I could smell what was in it....oregano! She was eating oregano and with every bite she would say "mmmmm, spicy!" Crazy girl!!

Saturday we found we had a little visitor, a cute little gardener snake. The kids were so excited.
Noah was trying to help it find the hole in the fence so it could go out into the field behind our house.

How healthy do your kid's eat anyway? You've talked about your son putting chives & lettuce on everything, now he's super excited about radishes?? And your daughter eats Oregano? Are veggies their candy? You must be doing something right!
