So we have been able to try out a couple of Naomi's new toys. First, Naomi has been asking for weeks, when can we plant flowers. It seems that every time I give thought to picking up some pansies to plant, there is snow in the forecast. Not that they couldn't survive through it, but just puts a mild damper on the whole trying to get into the "spring" of the things. So after Naomi got a pair of garden gloves and tools for her birthday I decided we were going to plant "by golly". So here are some pictures of her helping me.
The other set of pictures is of an awesome Step 2 toy that Naomi got from Grandma S. We finally set it up today and you would of thought we were at a waterpark, for the sheer joy and screams of excitement coming out of them as well as the vast amounts of water on them and everywhere within 10 feet. It has a button that activates a pump that recirculates the water in the tub. So no worries, they will be no overflows other than the water that is actually dumped out of the sink by the scoops provided. We laid a bunch of towels down to soak up the water and make it less slippery. The pump actually shuts off automatically after 5 minutes. Hey what else are supposed to do on a rainy, freezing first day of spring break. Silas loved it getting thoroughly soaked, Naomi spent most of the afternoon bathing her barbie princesses and even Oliver, my nearly 7 year got in on the action. I am sure it will be even more fun, when it is actually hot out. And when will that be, by the way?
