This spring Quade has learned about planting flowers and how seeds grow at preschool. Now he has been picking and replanting all kinds of plants. We went for a walk and Kaden started to cry so I picked a cat tail for him. When we got home Quade dug up some dirt out of the flower bed and planted them in a cup. The process has continuted with dandylions and many other things. These plants have been around the house for weeks but I just can't get myself to throw them out.
Monday we went fishing at Spring Valley. We had so much fun. We loaded the boys up in the double stroller and Chad pushed them through the mud puddles. Quade got a new fishing pole for being completely potty trained. He got to try it out for the first time. The boys actually lasted longer than we thought they would. Kaden especially surprised us. He sat in the chair holding the pole for a long time. Quade caught a fish and after that he was hooked. He didn't want to go home and he talked about it all the way. The next day he wouldn't eat school lunch because he was saving his appitite for his fish when he got home. We love being outside and it is so much fun watching the boys learn and explore new things.
