Grass Baskets

Well it's time to start them in time for Easter or Spring time. 

 I love this cheap but fun idea. Plus is gives something for the little ones to look forward to.

Ok I'm not going to lie, I even find myself peeking in the room to see it grow. 

Here's what you do....

find a favorite pot, bowl, whatever you think you would like. Big or small any size works!

get potting soil, and seeds. I found my grass seeds at Wally World for 6.24 but it is enough seed to last me 72 years. 

fill your pot full of soil

leave about enough space for 1 inch to 1/2 inch from the top

place the seed cover the entire area so you don't see any soil

put a tiny bit of soil to cover up the seed

water a little bit and

sit and wait

and wait

and

wait

Olivia has already walked in the room 4 times today and said "Mommy it's not working"

patience little one, patience

Side note...I like to use a spray bottle to water these in the beginning, then the seeds don't seem to spread as bad.

And Wala! You should see little green grass within about a week. 

Only in Utah

Only in Utah on the 24th of May will you wake up to this.......

Thinking that we are NEVER EVER EVER going to have this! I've told myself that we WILL go to the pool even if we have to wear our snow boots and goggles!  I try to play the Polly Anna Glad Game (it's a family thing) and tell myself you should be grateful for the moisture, but right about now I think it's bologna!

s.P.r.I.n.G

I can feel it in my bones!!!! Or at least for today I will go with it because I know tomorrow it will be snowing outside. 

Oh well Spring in Utah is really is a nice weekend. Ha Ha get it???

However today is was nice enough to go outside an kick the soccer ball around and ride the bike.  I even spray painted a chair it was that nice.  I know I know it's the simple things in life.  I have already told Casey "we are going out for frozen yogurt tonight for family night, I am craving vanilla yogurt with gummy bears on top!!! 

I can't take credit for this adorable banner.  I owe it to my great friends/inherited family Jess and Kim.  Thank you I LOVE IT!!! 

 I told her the best part was....I didn't have to make it!

       

I think Liv has an obession with sticking her tongue out whenever she does something. 

 Funny thing is my mom does the same.
