Did you know that tomorrow is Earth Day?
A few years ago, I watched one of
Oprah's Earth Day episodes.
(Hey! Don't judge! Oprah had some good shows!:)
It was extremely eye opening.
Just watch this:
Ever since then, I have been aware.
Not perfect, but aware.
It seems like every year this day comes around
and it reminds me to take better care
of the place my grandbabies and great
grandbabies will be living in.
I found so many neat little ideas on Pinterest for Earth Day!
We started out with pancakes that looked like Planet Earth!
We read some great "Going Green" books!
And we talked about how important plants and trees are
to our planet. We put together a little science activity.
And of course I had to pretty it up a little bit
with a cute sign and bow!;)
We planted some seeds in some soil so the kids can watch it grow.
I explained the important factors for a plant to grow.
It needs soil, seed, water and sunshine.
And of course the only thing we were
missing today was the sunshine.
*sigh*
I presented each child with their supplies
and we went through and explained each one.
They really enjoyed playing in the dirt!
A little dirt won't hurt, right?
What is that saying?
Boy: A Noise With Dirt On It.
So true!
I thought they turned out so cute?
Since they are in clear plastic cups
the kids can see the roots taking place, too.
I hope you parents enjoyed taking them home!
For snack we had the infamous Dirt Cake.
OMG!
DELISH!
All in honor of Earth Day!
This is just chocolate instant pudding,
cool whip, and crushed oreos
layered with gummy worms on top!
Mmmmm.
I had to serve it and get out quickly!
I did hear some lips smacking when I left!
I am pretty sure the kids enjoyed it!
This is why I had to rush out of work early:
One of my baby girls first proms!
Don't you LOVE her shoes?
Totally MY idea.
Yep, taking credit for that one.
Im not sure I could've paid her to wear heels!
She was invited to Kingston's prom.
BOTH of my baby girls will be
going to their Junior Prom tomorrow night.
I will for sure post pics on Monday of them!
Love her. She is beautiful inside and out.
Still cant believe they are so big.
Before you know it,
you will be snapping shots of your little ones..
before their Junior Prom.
*sniff, sniff*
With Love,
Ms Melea
