Seeds!

After our fun party on Saturday, we've had a couple rough days around here. Carter came down with a fever Saturday night. When it still hadn't gone away by Monday, I decided to get him into the doctor. There we learned he has strep throat!! Boo! Yesterday wasn't pleasant, but I'm happy to report that he woke up today feeling MUCH better. So much better that we decided to do a little seed-starting project! It's actually a little late to be starting seeds here in Austin, but we're giving it a go anyway. Here are some photos...

Carter is so happy to be planting tomato seeds! We got some mixed cherry tomatoes - red, yellow & orange.Putting seed starter into the cups...After putting in the seeds, Carter sprayed them all with a little water...We put the seeds in the window so they get lots of light. Carter was very proud of his work!He asked me to put a chair next to the seeds so he could sit with them for a bit...Any guesses at what he was saying to the seeds? That's right - "grow little tunafish!" :-) Now let's keep our fingers crossed that they actually do grow!
