 Here's some of the fairy costumes we got on Wednesday. They are loved! Now we need to make some wings

  and the snail pot too

 The girls absolutely love planting seeds. Georgia is about 18 months and in general is such an easy going baby but she is also the youngest of five in her family and is completely determined that she will do what the older kids get to do. Usually I would plant tiny seeds with the older kids and give the little ones a spade or  the marker pop sticks to play with and they are happy with that for a bit or toddle off and find their own fun but for Georgia that just wont do! So she is my little garden helper, she plants seeds, dropping most of them while she is focused on the one she is putting in the hole and waters them while stepping on the others that have already sprouted. She tries so hard and is so determined and focused. I just adore her helping even if it a bit of a case of one step forward two steps back sometimes. Planting in a pot with her was a good idea and she was so excited to be able to sprinkle all the seeds at once rather than one or two per hole.

mmm, pepermint tea and muffins! (can you tell what we had for snack that day?)
