Vegetable garden

We've had a dead space in our backyard since we moved in. I've been wanting to put a vegetable garden  there but I don't really have a green thumb. So when my dad was here he helped me get it started.

Asher got bored painting. He explored the backyard

The finished product! I think it looks great and after just a couple of weeks the dogs have stopped digging in it, the plants are growing and we have one green tomato.

Did you notice the colored tomato cages- so my thing!

Thank you Dad for your help I'm loving it and can't wait until our tomatoes, pepper, squash and herbs are ready to eat!

Pasta sensory box

I've been collecting ideas for lessons for Adelynn and Asher this summer. I've been seeing a lot of fun sensory boxes on pinterest. I thought the pasta sensory box was perfect because I had 4 half used boxes in my pantary.

While Asher was still sleeping I thought I'd let Adelynn explore so she wouldn't interrupt his play time.

I had to move the box to the table because the dogs wanted to eat it!

Asher doesn't like to get too sticky or dirty so he wasn't too sure about the pasta box. 

After about 5 minutes he was done and was feeding the pasta to the dogs! I guess I'll try a different box next week. Hopefully Asher will enjoy it a little more!

Don't worry we didn't let the boys eat too much!
