Creation Day Three and Four

Noey woke-up to flowers over his table. :)



He made a sun and we hung him up.


I love how he holds up his creations to show me now. My dear baby so capable. :)



We took a square of construction paper, poked holes in it with a pencil, and help it in front of our flashlight to create the stars.


We played in the dirt to celebrate the land God made.







Remy was out there with us finding bugs for his school work.


The weenie girls were lazing it up in the sun and tall grass.



Puglet girl was all up in our "beeswax".


I found this idea on Pinterest and we had to make one of our own to celebrate the creation of the flowers and trees.

Big brother's are the best helpers.



Noey added his flower and sun to his world.


He really enjoyed playing in the dirt and making that sun. :)



Plants With Remy

We soaked some lima beans so that we could slip off the seed coat and see the baby plant and the stored food the baby plant uses.



He also did the FAVORITE celery experiment. :)




He also wanted to try a rose.
He split the stem and used two different colors.



Helping Things Grow

I didn't do the big garden with the boys this year. I couldn't give the time to it that it would need. We did give the boys garden goodies in those Easter baskets again this year. The finally decided to plant and play with those garden things they were gifted one HOT day.


Noah hung out in the bouncer.





Piper thinks she is atleast part human and should be in on the gardening fun. Look at this outfit Remy put together. He said that it went together because both the top and the bottoms were blue. Ba ha ha ha ha! He reminds me of my dad, so much!





One of my favorite things I own is that owl watering "can".





These are sunflowers that I helped Noah plant. He really enjoyed his science lesson. :)














Noah is always trying to get to Remy's habitats. He loves to see what is in them and he wants to be allowed to play with them in just the way he desires. Remy came up with this for Noah. He gave him a clean habitat with a fake lizard in it. How cute is that? Look at Noah's mouth in this photo.








I have so loved the summers in this house. This year and last year I did not. I am so ready for fall. It is just harder to have fun in this heat with a baby. I was always told that it would be easier with Noah because he was a summer baby. I must say, I feel it is easier when the weather is cooler.

Fun With Plants

We had a fun time doing some extra just for fun plant "stuff". We made Balloon Plants one day. I had a hard time finding the real clear ones. The closest I could find were more like medical grade glove type "clear". We had fun with it anyway. But try to find better ones if you do this one.


You put the balloon at the end of the funnel the way Remy did.





You then add the soil, full directions on the clickable link up top.





Next is the water, of course.








Blow up the balloons to give them the carbon dioxide they need. Be sure to blow them up fully as they will shrink alot. This is the reason we needed even clearer balloons.





Hang them up and in no time, a few days, you will have them growing and thriving. I had to cut one open to show you as it wasn't visible any longer. :(








We also played our Wild Craft game of herbs that we were gifted. :) It is great! My boys love it and it teaches the herbs and treatments they are good for.





We made sweet origami tulips.





Remy found an egg in on a flower!





The boys have pretty green thumbs this year and have their own special plant projects going on.


Eli and his basil...





Chives...





Parsley...





Remy and his bell peppers...





Yellow tomatoes...





Red Tomatoes...





Remy also colored this flower in different directions to learn such things as horizontal. He liked it and continues to use it on other things now.




Well, that is our flower/plant fun! If you try the balloons and have better luck, please share!
